TSC TE200 Series 4-Inch Desktop Thermal Barcode Label Printers (TE200 / TE300 / TE210 / TE310, 300m Ribbon)

Engineered to deliver unmatched cost-efficiency, high reliability, and exceptional print versatility across retail points of sale, light manufacturing, healthcare pharmacy labeling, and shipping mailrooms, the TSC TE200 Series (TE200, TE300, TE210, and TE310) 4-Inch Desktop Thermal Barcode Label Printers represent the gold standard in entry-to-mid-tier desktop barcode printing.

Built with TSC’s legendary durability, the TE200 Series features an innovative modular dual-gear motor print mechanism that can be removed from its outer ABS clamshell chassis and integrated directly into kiosk ticketing and packaging machinery. Accommodating both industry-standard 300-meter (984 ft) ribbons on 1-inch cores and 72-to-110-meter ribbons on 0.5-inch cores, it dramatically reduces supplies change frequency. Available in 203 DPI (up to 6 ips / 152 mm/s) for standard shipping labels and 300 DPI (up to 5 ips / 127 mm/s) for crisp 2D Data Matrix barcodes, the enhanced TE210 and TE310 models feature expanded memory (64 MB SDRAM / 128 MB Flash), standard Fast Ethernet, USB Host for standalone keyboard operation, and optional Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Powered by TSPL-EZD firmware, it provides out-of-the-box emulation for Zebra ZPL/EPL and Datamax languages.
