This printer is both thermal transfer (requires a ribbon - not included) and direct thermal. Direct thermal is my preference. It comes with a working power adapter and USB cable. The Zebra TLP 3844-Z is a thermal transfer and direct thermal label printer. It is known for high-resolution 300 dpi printing, which is great for small labels. It’s commonly used in retail, healthcare, and manufacturing. It supports EPL and ZPL programming languages and can handle a variety of label sizes. It connects via serial, parallel, or USB ports.
