It can hold only one sheet at a time, which makes this model inconvenient for printing multiple photos onto glossy paper, or business documents onto card stock or other specialty media.

The setup guide includes fax instructions, but no USB or Ethernet instructions (the word "Ethernet" does not even appear in the reference guide).

One design oddity is that the USB and Ethernet ports, rather than being on the outside like the fax and telephone extension ports, are inside the body. If it does not, recheck that the labels are installed in the printer, also that the printer is turned on, and the USB cable is connected.You can connect via wireless, USB and Ethernet, as well as use near-field communication (NFC) for use with a mobile device. If the printer is installed correctly the printer should print out a test label.
