Review on Optimize Your Shipping Business with a Compatible Thermal Printer by Darion Wooten

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works perfectly with 4x6 UPS labels, but installation takes a lot of guesswork!

So to answer the quick question here - does it work? The answer is YES, but not without jumping through some hoops. I've detailed the pros and cons below for you to consider. This works great as it is now, but expect some ups and downs to get this setup right depending on your individual use cases. Pros: Yes, this will work with perforated 4x6 UPS labels, although depending on the size of the UPS roll (I had a huge one) you may have to manually rewind your own labels to fit this spool. can be set to NOT waste TWO sheets of labels on each power cycle, which is the default (see photo for correct settings) + install drivers with no problems - make sure you use the supplied USB stick, CD or Download directly from the manufacturer's site, otherwise the MIA printer will use little to no power in Windows+ Device Manager when powered off. The power supply is efficient. + The drivers format the 4x6 print correctly, so after setting it up correctly, literally click "Print" (and if you're using PDF, make sure it's set to "f this" before printing) + High-quality construction device Disadvantages: + Absolutely annoying to the point of impossibility. EVERY CABLE is short! Wart on your desk To add insult to injury, you only get a USB A to USB B cable Noah 2ft! For real? How many cents do you really save in the end? I had to use my own USB-A extension cable just to use it. I had to figure out how to fix this by adjusting the settings myself via diagnostic tool V1.024b (see photo - set options "Adjust marker position") which, wait a minute, in "Windows" is hidden. - WiFi" and NOT the "Window-USB" folder as you would expect from this model + Trying to "calibrate the sensor" as mentioned in the quick start guide results in a severe crash. It just blocks the program and printer this was totally unnecessary as the printer worked fine without it generally it works perfectly but cable solution -B considering how short these cables are.
