TSC MH 341T Barcode Printer

Description:

The TSC MH341T is an industrial printer designed for high-performance label printing. With a resolution of 203 dpi, it supports direct thermal and thermal transfer printing methods. The printer features a color LCD touchscreen with buttons for easy operation and offers versatile connectivity options, including Ethernet, GPIO, Parallel port, Serial RS-232, USB, and USB Host. It also supports wireless connectivity through Bluetooth MFI and Wi-Fi.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Speed: Delivers a fast print speed of up to 12 inches per second (305 mm/sec), making it efficient for handling high-volume printing tasks.
• Print Resolution: Offers multiple resolution options for versatility:
  • 300 dpi (dots per inch) - Ideal for standard barcode printing, ensuring clear and legible labels.
  • 600 dpi (optional) - Provides exceptional resolution for printing intricate details, tiny barcodes, and high-quality graphics (ideal for applications like circuit board labeling or jewelry tags).
• Printing Technology: Primarily utilizes thermal transfer printing, which uses a ribbon to create durable labels on a wider range of materials compared to direct thermal printing. While not directly supported, some users might explore using compatible direct thermal media for specific applications.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial Construction: Features a robust design with a premium metal frame, built to endure demanding environments in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates large rolls of labels with an outer diameter of up to 8 inches (203.2 mm), minimizing media changes and downtime.
• Clear View Window: A window allows for easy monitoring of media levels.

Usability and User Interface:

• Two Interface Options (depending on model):
  • 3.5-inch color LCD display with 6-button control panel for navigation and configuration.
  • 4.3-inch color touch LCD panel with 6-button control panel for a more intuitive user experience.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with standard interfaces for flexible network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet for network printing.
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a computer.
  • RS-232 serial for compatibility with older devices (optional on some models).
  • Parallel port (optional on some models).
  • USB Host port for connecting external devices like a scanner or keyboard.

Memory:

• Ample Memory: The MH-341T comes standard with 512 MB Flash memory and 256 MB SDRAM memory, providing sufficient storage for fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and custom applications.
• Optional Memory Expansion: An SD card slot allows for additional memory expansion (up to 32 GB) if needed for storing complex graphics or custom fonts.

Advanced Features:

• Thermal Smart Control™ (on some models): This feature optimizes print quality by precisely controlling heat application for each pixel, resulting in crisp and clear labels.
• Media Versatility: The MH-341T can handle a range of label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, black mark labels, fan-fold labels, and notched labels.
• Fast Label Throughput: The combination of high print speed and efficient media handling ensures quick processing and printing of labels.
• Durable Printhead: The printhead is designed to withstand wear and tear for extended use.
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customization of label formats and integration with existing barcode software.

Additional Enhancements:

• Optional Features: Several features might be available depending on the specific model, including:
  • GPIO Connectivity: Enables connection to external devices or sensors for additional functionality like automated label triggering.
  • Bluetooth Module: Allows for wireless printing from compatible devices.
  • Cutter Module: Enables automatic cutting of labels after printing.
