What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing’s print-speed entries are inconsistent: one gives 72 pages_per_minute while feature text claims 72 sheets 4x6 labels/min and 150 mm/s, treat speed as unconfirmed. Bluetooth printing is app-mediated, Mac OS is described as USB-only, while Mac M1/M2 instructions also mention Bluetooth, confirm setup for your device. The listed maximum sheet capacity and maximum copies per run are not explained for a label printer.

Buyers who can use the NELKO app over Bluetooth or a supported computer over USB.
