Not sure which connection type you need?

USB is one computer next to the printer. Ethernet is for more than one computer printing to the same printer over a network cable. Wi-Fi is the same shared printer when you do not want to run a cable: one printer for several desks, or a printer sitting in a corner of the warehouse.

Not sure if you need a charger?

Skip this if you already have a working charger for this model. Add a wall charger for desk charging, or a car charger for in-vehicle use. You can add both.

Not sure which warranty length you need?

Mobile printers include 1 year parts and labor. Add 2 years for $19.99, or choose 3, 4, or 5 years at checkout for longer bumper-to-bumper coverage.

Not sure which support package you need?

The included session covers one computer: we log in, install the driver, get a test print, and set your app to print. Choose Advance Support for a harder setup, custom software, or work after the first 30 days. Advance Support is $44.99 per device.

Volume pricing applies when you order multiple printers.

    FAQ

    Questions people ask before buying

    Quick answers before you add to cart.

    Every unit passes a full functional test on intake, print quality, connectivity, and mechanical parts, then a second test right before it's packed and shipped. You'll get an intake report noting exactly what was checked. This isn't a "used, as-is" listing.
