TSC MH 340T Barcode Printer

Description:

The MH240 Series is TSC™s mainstream industrial barcode label printer. The MH240 Series features premium printhead technology, faster processing and all the memory customers will need to print high-quality labels delivered at the fastest speeds. 

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 10 inches per second (254 mm/sec), making it efficient for mid-volume printing tasks.
• Print Resolution: Offers a good resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch), ensuring clear and crisp printing of barcodes, text, and even small graphics.
• Printing Technology: Primarily utilizes thermal transfer printing, which uses a ribbon to create durable labels on a wider variety of materials compared to direct thermal printing. While not directly supported, some users might explore using compatible direct thermal media for specific applications.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial Construction: Features a robust design with an all-metal casing and a die-cast aluminum print mechanism, built to endure demanding environments in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates large rolls of labels with an outer diameter of up to 8 inches (203.2 mm), minimizing media changes and downtime.
• Clear View Window: A window allows for easy monitoring of media levels.

Usability and User Interface:

• Two Interface Options (depending on model):
  • 3.5-inch color LCD display with 6-button control panel for navigation and configuration.
  • 4.3-inch color touch LCD panel with 6-button control panel for a more intuitive user experience.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with standard interfaces for flexible network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet for network printing.
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a computer.
  • RS-232 serial for compatibility with older devices (optional on some models).
  • Parallel port (optional on some models).
  • USB Host port for connecting external devices like a scanner or keyboard.

Memory:

• Ample Memory: The MH-340T comes standard with 64MB of SDRAM and 128MB of Flash memory, providing sufficient storage for fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and custom applications.
• Optional Memory Expansion: An SD card slot allows for additional memory expansion (up to 32 GB) if needed for storing complex graphics or custom fonts.

Additional Features:

• Thermal Smart Control™ (on some models): This feature (on some TSC MT Series models) optimizes print quality by precisely controlling heat application for each pixel, resulting in crisp and clear labels.
• Media Versatility: The MH-340T can handle a range of label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, black mark labels, fan-fold labels, and notched labels.
• Fast Label Throughput: The combination of print speed and efficient media handling allows for quick processing and printing of labels.
• Durable Printhead: The printhead is designed to withstand wear and tear for extended use.
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customization of label formats and integration with existing barcode software.
