English term or phrase: desktop label printer
Hi everyone,

This is a translation targeting hispanics living in the US; mostly from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Cuba.

The word "desktop" throws me off and I just can't get a translation that sounds natural in Spanish so I need a little help with it.

Here's more context:

By providing electronic messages that notify caregivers about the existence or stat orders, XXXX eliminates the requirement to observe "desktop label printers" where stat labels normally print when stat orders are entered.

Thanks everyone!

Have a great weekend!
