## Description

Product description

Review: great printer good company to deal with - this printer worked exactly as expected. I ordered one and it arrived but the pause button was broken. I called and it was immediately refunded and a new one was sent. Would purchase this item again and probably will as we use them at work to the point where we wear them out.
Review: False Advertising and Horrible Customer Service - Do you need a printer with a USB connection? Do you think this printer has one? I did too, on account of the fact it is advertised as having USB. Turns out it does not. It only has a serial port, which does not work with a USB/serial adapter. Even the g****** manual mentions a USB port which simply is not there. I bought 5 units for inventory, and just popped one open today. It is too late to return, desertcart is refusing to help, and Zebra says I need to go after their resellers (even though Zebra created the marketing materials that lied about the USB port). Avoid at ALL COSTS!

## Features
