Portability and Setup The PJ722-BK is certainly portable, weighing only 1 pound 2 ounces and measuring 1.2 by 10 by 2.2 inches (HWD). Other possibilities include: three choices for car adapters ($19 to $22.50 each) an extension cable for DC power ($8.40) two vehicle mounts ($110 and $144) a paper guide ($45) and an assortment of cases ($6.50 to $100), some of which hold paper, along with the printer.

If neither of these kits meets your needs, you can also pick from a relatively long list of accessories, starting with the rechargeable lithium-ion battery ($125) if you want the additional portability that comes with battery power. The Brother PJ722-VK has its own set of extras appropriate to the task, including a DC car adapter instead of an AC adapter, and a package of roll paper instead of fanfold paper. The other choice is the Vehicle Kit, or Brother PJ722-VK ($359), which is aimed at users who need to mount the printer in a car or truck. The PJ722-BK (BK is short for Basic Kit), which is aimed at mobile professionals who print from a laptop or PC, also includes a USB cable, an AC power supply, 100 sheets of fanfold paper, and documentation.

Variations and Accessories Strictly speaking, the actual printer in the PJ722-BK package is the PJ722, which is available either by itself ($299) without a power adapter or battery, or with either of two kits.

The company says the PocketJet 7's optional battery can print up to 600 pages on a full charge, which is far more than the 70-page battery life for the Brother PocketJet 6's internal battery. The PJ722-BK and the Brother PJ723-BK are part of a new generation of PocketJet models that Brother rates as 33-percent faster than the aforementioned PocketJet 6 printers, although we didn't see that significant a difference in our tests. All of these models are similar in size and weight, and all use a thermal print head. The PJ722-BK is similar in many ways to the Brother PocketJet 6 PJ662-K, the Brother PocketJet 6 Plus PJ663-K, and the Brother PocketJet 7 PJ723-BK, our Editors' Choice portable printer. On the other hand, they're a lot smaller and lighter than inkjets. If maximum portability is your key concern, you should take a look at a thermal printer. Compared with their inkjet counterparts, they can only print in monochrome and are limited to using thermal paper, which-depending on the paper stock-can have a distinct, unpleasant odor. Portable thermal printers like the Brother PocketJet 7 PJ722-BK ($379) are more of a niche product than even portable inkjet printers, making them easy to overlook.
