TSC MX240 Series

Drop us a line

With the MX240 Series TSC offers you faster label printing than ever before. With up to 356 mm per second you reliably print labels up to 114 mm wide. The robust thermal transfer printers are therefore your first choice in operating environments such as incoming or outgoing goods, as well as in assembly environments for parts marking. The molded aluminum housing gives it the robustness it needs to withstand high wear and tear. For applications requiring particularly small or very detailed labels, TSC also offers versions with 300 and 600 dpi (12 and 24 dots/mm, respectively).

The 4.3″ color touch panel, in combination with the 6-key menu and a variety of media sensors ensure for simple handling. The TSPL-EZ Firmware allows for Plug ’n’ Play, so that you may begin immediately. Using the standard integrated interfaces (RS232, USB, parallel, Ethernet) integration is a breeze. For wireless connections there are optional expansion modules available for Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g/n. You additionally realize efficient stand-alone applications with the MX240 Series, thanks to the integrated USB host.
