TSC ML 340P Barcode Printer in Saint Peter Basseterre

Description:

The compact footprint of the ML Series is perfect for crowded work environments. With its enhanced design and printing algorithm, the noise level from printing operation is dramatically reduced. The adjustable thermal printhead and self-diagnostic TPH Care mechanism ensure optimal print quality regardless of the application or label design. The TSC ML Series is a brand new generation of smaller industrial barcode label printers that are designed to fit into more work areas than ever before. The ML Series features a compact footprint, durable and flexible design, ease of use, noise-reduced printing, self-diagnostic TPH Care, and tool-free maintenance. The ML Series is available in 203 and 300 dpi print resolutions. The printer incorporates a robust die-cast aluminium print mechanism engine that is ideal for light industrial duty printing.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Method: Employs both thermal transfer and direct thermal printing methods, offering versatility for different label types and applications.
  • Thermal transfer uses a ribbon to create durable labels on a wider range of materials.
  • Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive media for faster printing but with less durability. (Compatibility with specific direct thermal media might need research)
• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 6 inches per second (152 mm/sec), making it suitable for light to moderate printing volumes.
• Print Resolution: Offers a standard resolution of 203 dpi (dots per inch), ensuring clear and legible printing for most barcode applications.

Durability and Design:

• Light Industrial Design: Features a durable design with a combination of plastic and metal elements, suitable for light industrial environments like offices, retail stores, or small warehouses.
• Media Capacity: Accommodates labels with an outer diameter of up to 5.5 inches (139.7 mm), which might require more frequent media changes for high-volume printing.

Usability and User Interface:

• LCD Display and Control Panel: Provides a basic LCD display with a button control panel for navigation and configuration.

Connectivity Options:

• Standard Connectivity: Offers options for connection to a computer or network:
  • RS-232 serial for compatibility with older devices.
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a computer.
  • Internal Ethernet (on some models) for network printing.

Memory:

• Limited Memory: Comes with standard memory capacity (exact specifications might vary depending on the model), which might limit storage for complex graphics or custom fonts.

Additional Features:

• Media Sensors: Includes black mark and gap sensors for accurate label positioning and printing.
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customizing label formats and integrating with existing barcode software.

Since it's a discontinued model, replacement parts and technical support from TSC might be limited. Here are some alternatives to consider:

• TSC ML-240P: A newer version potentially offering similar features with slight improvements.
• TSC MX-240P: A mid-range model with potentially faster print speed, higher resolution options, and a more robust design.
