Editorial note

The Star Micronics SM-T400i-DB50 printer stands out for its high printing speed of 80 mm/sec and its direct thermal printing technology, ensuring optimal performance and precise print quality. Its compact and modern design facilitates integration into various workspaces, offering an appreciable contemporary aesthetic. Moreover, its impressive battery life of up to 20 hours allows for prolonged use without interruption, a considerable asset for professionals on the go. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of Ethernet/LAN connectivity and Wi-Fi limits usage flexibility, especially in environments where a stable network connection is required. Additionally, the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) hybrid battery technology may lead to more frequent recharges compared to lithium-ion batteries, and the 4-hour recharge time may seem long for heavy users. Finally, the limited compatibility with older operating systems, such as Windows XP, Vista, and 7, may pose a problem for those using recent systems. In summary, although the Star Micronics SM-T400i-DB50 offers quality performance and design, its limitations in connectivity and software compatibility may reduce its appeal for some users.
