Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 6 inches per second (152 mm/sec), making it efficient for handling moderate printing volumes.
• Print Resolution: Offers a standard resolution for clear labels:
  • 203 dpi (dots per inch) - Ideal for printing basic barcodes, text, and graphics on mid-sized labels.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features a durable design with a metal cover and impact-resistant plastic frame, built to withstand everyday use in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Medium Media Capacity: Accommodates labels with a maximum outer diameter of up to 8 inches (203.2 mm), minimizing media changes but may require more frequent refills compared to high-capacity models.
• Clear View Window: Allows for easy monitoring of media levels.

Usability and User Interface:

• User-Friendly Interface: Provides a 6-button control panel and an LCD display for navigation, configuration, and monitoring printer status. (The size and resolution of the LCD might vary depending on the model)

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity Options: Offers multiple ways to connect the printer to your devices:
  • Standard serial, parallel, and USB connectivity for wired connections to computers or peripherals.
  • Optional Ethernet networking for network printing, allowing multiple devices to share the printer on a local network. (Ethernet might not be available on all models)

Memory:

• Standard Memory: Comes equipped with 2 MB DRAM and 2 MB Flash memory, which provides sufficient storage for basic fonts, graphics, and downloaded formats.

Advanced Features:

• Media Versatility: Can handle a range of label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, and black mark labels.
• Ribbon Handling: Utilizes thermal transfer printing, with features like a ribbon end sensor to avoid printing errors. (Ribbon not included)

Potential Limitations (as a discontinued model):

• Limited Memory: Compared to newer TSC models, the TTP-246M Plus's memory capacity might be lower, potentially restricting storage for complex graphics or custom fonts.
• Optional Features: Advanced features like Ethernet networking 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-247: A newer version potentially offering similar features with slight improvements.
• TSC TTP-346: A mid-range model with potentially faster print speed, higher memory capacity, and a more user-friendly interface.
