TSC TTP 366M Barcode Printer

Description:

The TSC line-up soars to new levels with the introduction of their 6" industrial printer, the TTP-366M. This die-cast aluminum label printer is designed for your most demanding barcode and identification needs, without breaking your budget. The TTP-366M boasts a print speed up to 6 ips with a 300 dpi resolution (Optional 203 dpi). The TTP-366M is ideal for your mission critical printing applications, either on-demand or in batches. The TTP-366M includes USB 2.0, Parallel, Serial and internal Ethernet, PS/2 keyboard interface, all standard. The electronics include 32MB DRAM, 8 MB FLASH memory and a slot for an SD card so users can inexpensively add up to 4 GB of additional FLASH storage.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Speed: Delivers a fast print speed of up to 6 inches per second (152 mm/sec), making it efficient for handling moderate to high-volume printing tasks.
• Print Resolution: Offers two resolution options for versatility:
  • 203 dpi (dots per inch) - Standard resolution for clear and legible printing of barcodes, text, and basic graphics on mid-size labels.
  • 300 dpi (optional) - Higher resolution for applications requiring finer details and smaller barcodes.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial Construction: Features a robust design with a high-quality die-cast aluminum frame, built to withstand harsh industrial environments in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates labels with an outer diameter of up to 8 inches (203.2 mm), minimizing media changes and downtime.
• Clear View Window: Allows for easy monitoring of media levels.

Usability and User Interface:

• LCD Display and Control Panel: Provides a large, graphic LCD display (resolution might vary depending on the model) with a 6-button control panel for navigation, configuration, and monitoring printer status.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with a variety of interfaces for flexible network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet for network printing (might be optional on some models).
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a computer.
  • RS-232 serial for compatibility with older devices (optional on some models).
  • Parallel port for legacy systems (optional on some models).
  • PS/2 keyboard interface for stand-alone operation or data entry at the printer (might be optional on some models).

Memory:

• Standard Memory: Comes with 32 MB SDRAM and 8 MB Flash memory (memory capacity might vary depending on the specific model). This provides sufficient storage for basic fonts, graphics, and downloaded formats.

Advanced Features (on some models):

• Thermal Smart Control™: This feature (not available on all models) optimizes print quality by precisely controlling heat application for each pixel, resulting in crisp and clear labels.
• Media Versatility: The TTP-366M can handle a range of label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, black mark labels, fan-fold labels, and notched labels.
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customizing label formats and integrating with existing barcode software.

Potential Limitations (as a discontinued model):

• Limited Memory: Compared to newer TSC models, the TTP-366M's memory capacity might be lower, potentially restricting storage for complex graphics or custom fonts.
• Optional Features: Some advanced features, like an Ethernet port or higher memory capacity, might only be available on specific models.
• Replacement Parts and Technical Support: Since it's discontinued, finding replacement parts and technical support from TSC might be limited.

Alternatives to Consider:

• TSC TTP-370: A newer version potentially offering similar features with slight improvements.
• TSC MH340T: A mid-range model with potentially faster print speed, higher resolution options, and a more user-friendly interface.
