Overview
Small business owners who mail and ship regularly get a desktop label printer that plugs into a PC or Mac by USB and prints addresses, barcodes and postage. Direct thermal printing means labels come out without ink or toner, and jobs can be sent from programs such as Microsoft Word or the Mac Address Book.
Throughput and the postage feature make it worth a desk spot for anyone producing mail every day, and Address Fixer checks addresses against the USPS database before printing. The limit is black-only output on labels no wider than its maximum media size.
Who it's for
Mailing desks that print addresses, postage and name badges in runs are the setting, with the printer tethered to a computer. People who label now and then away from a desk will find a handheld labeler easier.
Pros and cons
- Prints postage directly
- Address Fixer corrects addresses from USPS data
- No ink or toner to replace
- Prints from Word and Mac Address Book
- Black output only
- Needs a connected computer to print
- Media width limits label formats
- First label takes several seconds to start
Performance notes
Speed comes from the direct thermal head, which marks heat-sensitive labels with no ink to dry, so batch throughput mostly follows the computer and software feeding it. Each job starts after a warm up delay listed in the specs, so a single label feels slower than a long run. The finer horizontal resolution sharpens barcodes and small text across the label.
