What does this machine do?
TSC MX241P series
The rugged MX241P industrial thermal printer series is built for high-volume, high-quality label production. The MX240P series offers TSC’s fastest printing with greater processing power and connectivity, making it ideal for manufacturing, logistics, shipping and product identification.
Designed for demanding round-the-clock use, the MX240P series has a cast-aluminium print mechanism in a tough yet lightweight enclosure for the heaviest workloads.
Excellent resolution and warranty
Three models are available: the MX241P prints at 203 dpi and up to 18 inches per second; the MX340P at 300 dpi and up to 14 inches per second; and the MX640P at 600 dpi for small 2D barcodes, graphics and fine text. All TSC printers include a standard limited two-year warranty.
Extensive standard features
MX241P printers include a redesigned colour touchscreen interface with six menu buttons, support for 600-metre ribbons and 8-inch OD media rolls, built-in Ethernet, two USB host ports for a keyboard and scanner, and USB 2.0, parallel and serial connections. Parallel and GPIO ports are available as options.
Memory to spare
The MX241P series provides 512 MB SDRAM and 512 MB Flash for fonts, international character sets and graphics. An SD Flash card reader allows affordable expansion to 32 GB.
Powerful TSPL-EZ printer language
TSC uses TSPL-EZ firmware throughout its printer range. It supports TSC commands, TPLE (Eltron® emulation) and TPLZ (Zebra® emulation). Built-in scalable TrueType fonts, a BASIC interpreter and file manager help create interfaces with many host systems.
