TSC MH240 Series

Drop us a line

The mid-range direct thermal/thermal transfer printers of the TSC MH240 Series are excellently suited for warehouses and logistics. They manage a print width of 104 mm and are available in three different versions, which in turn also have three different print resolutions – 203, 300 or 600 dpi. All in all, the series comprises nine models.

The standard version of the MH240 Series produces labels up to 356 mm/sec. A 3.5’’ LCD panel with six buttons shows all the information and messages at a glance, and convinces with intuitive operation. A two-color, highly visible LED informs you about the current status of the device.

With the extended version MH240T, a color 4.3’’ touch display replaces the LCD panel, making it even easier to use. All models of the MH240 Series have two USB ports on the front to conveniently connect peripherals, such as a keyboard or barcode scanner. Other interfaces on the back connect the printer to the host: you choose between RS232, Ethernet or USB 2.0. WLAN, parallel and GPIO are optionally available factory-direct or as a separate interface.

The premium variant MH240P is additionally equipped with a rewinder. This wraps the printed labels inside the device on a 3’’ core for easy removal and direct further processing. An optional near-end sensor allows you to swap media capacity, even without tools.
