Label printer review

Phomemo PM-241-BT

The 241BT is a slim Bluetooth + USB 4x6 printer with published dimensions and power specs—more than some rivals share. Phones print through Phomemo's Labelife app, and Phomemo doesn't list ChromeOS, so it suits phone-plus-computer sellers rather than Chromebook households.

Bluetooth + USB 4x6 model; sold in several colors under different listings.

Analysis

Desk footprint (approximate)

The body is about 8.4 in wide and 3.1 in deep. With a 6 in fanfold stack behind and ~1.5 in paper path, plan on 8.4 × 11 in.

Compatibility notes and common mistakes

Install the Labelife app for Bluetooth printing; use USB with the driver for Windows/macOS.

  • Assuming the iPhone print dialog will find it without the app.
  • Buying labels wider than 4.1 in when the page is inconsistent about the maximum.
