TSC ML240P Barcode Printer

Description:

TSC ML240P is a brand new generation of industrial barcode label printers. The light industrial ML240P features ease of use, intuitive color GUI display, noise-reduced printing, and self-diagnostic TPH Care. The ML240P has a durable and flexible design and does not require special tools for performing common service and maintenance. Its compact footprint is perfect for crowded work environments. The ML240P is designed for durability while producing high quality printed labels. 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.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Method: Offers dual printing methods for versatility:
  • Thermal Transfer: Utilizes a ribbon to create durable, high-quality labels on a wider range of materials.
  • Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive media for faster printing but with less durability (compatibility with specific direct thermal media might require verification).
• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 6 inches per second (152 mm/sec), making it efficient for light to moderate printing volumes.
• Print Resolution: Provides a standard resolution of 203 dpi (dots per inch), ensuring clear and legible printing of barcodes, text, and basic graphics.

Durability and Design:

• Light Industrial Construction: Features a durable and flexible design with a combination of plastic and metal elements, ideal for offices, retail stores, or small warehouses.
• Compact Footprint: Its small size makes it suitable for space-constrained environments.
• Easy Media Loading: Offers a wide-open angle for easy media handling and loading.
• 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:

• User-Friendly Design: Features a user-friendly design with an intuitive interface for easy operation and maintenance.
• Color LCD Display and Buttons: Equipped with a 2.3-inch color LCD display with control buttons for navigation, configuration, and monitoring printer status.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Offers multiple options for connection to a computer or network:
  • USB 2.0: Enables direct connection to a computer.
  • USB Host: Allows connection of external devices like a scanner or keyboard for additional functionality.
  • Serial (Optional): Provides compatibility with older devices (availability might vary depending on the model).
  • Ethernet (Optional): Enables network printing (availability might vary depending on the model).
  • Wireless Connectivity (Optional): Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity might be available on specific models, allowing for wireless printing from compatible devices (increasing mobility and flexibility).

Memory:

• Standard Memory: Comes with sufficient memory capacity (exact specifications might vary depending on the model) for fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and basic applications.

Advanced Features (depending on the model):

• TPH Care Mechanism: This feature (on some models) helps ensure optimal print quality and extend printhead life through self-diagnostic monitoring and adjustments.
• Media Versatility: The ML240P can handle a range of label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, black mark labels, and gap detection for accurate label positioning.
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customizing label formats and integrating with existing barcode software.
