Questions about this item
How does the 203 dpi resolution affect label readability?
At 203 dpi the printer produces sharp text and barcodes for standard shipping labels, asset tags and inventory stickers; fine detail on very small labels may appear less crisp.
What does the Ethernet, USB and Serial interface combination allow in daily use?
Ethernet connects the printer to a network for shared printing, USB gives a direct PC link and Serial supports legacy POS or industrial systems; only one active connection is used at a time.
What space and media dimensions are needed to fit the WPL304 on a desk?
The unit measures 6.81 x 7.95 x 10.16 inches and weighs 5 lbs; it accepts media 0.79 to 4.40 inches wide on rolls up to 5 inches in diameter.
