TSC MB240T & MB340T 4-Inch Compact Industrial Printers (203/300 DPI, 3.5-Inch Color Touchscreen)

Engineered to deliver heavy-duty industrial label printing performance in a remarkably compact, space-saving footprint, the TSC MB240T (203 DPI) & MB340T (300 DPI) 4-Inch Light Industrial Thermal Barcode Label Printers provide 39% less weight and 30% smaller volume than traditional industrial printers without sacrificing print quality or rugged reliability.

Ideal for crowded assembly benches, retail backrooms, and hospital pharmacies where counter space is at a premium, the MB240T Series features an all-metal mechanism housed in a rugged die-cast aluminum chassis with a bi-fold metal media door. Equipped with a vibrant 3.5-inch color resistive touchscreen display with an intuitive icon-driven GUI, operators can quickly calibrate media, configure network parameters, or clone printer settings via single-step 1D/2D configuration barcode scans. Printing at blistering speeds up to 10 inches per second (254 mm/s at 203 dpi) or 7 ips at 300 dpi, it handles massive 450-meter ribbons (1-inch core) and 8.0-inch OD label rolls. Standard connectivity includes USB 2.0, RS-232, Internal Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), and USB Host with optional slot-in 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 modules.
