TSC MB240 Series

Drop us a line

The TSC MB240 Series of industrial label printers combines high performance with a compact, space-saving design. Their robust die-cast aluminum housing enables them to be used in demanding environments such as manufacturing, transportation and logistics, but they also easily find space in retail stores. The printers come standard equipped with all the necessary buttons and status LEDs on the front, but may also be equipped with a color 3.5” touch display for extended operation, if required.

The series consists of four models, which achieve up to 300 dpi quality and a 203 mm/sec. print speed. All variants are equipped with a practical viewing window on the side so that users see at a glance how full the remaining label stock is. When it’s time to replace the roll, fold up this part of the housing completely for easy access. The MB240 Series printers come standard with a USB, USB host, Ethernet and RS232 port, with optional WLAN and Bluetooth options, as well as a guillotine for fully cut printed labels and a peel-off kit for the backing material.
