TSC MH 361T Barcode Printer

Description:

The TSC MH-361T is an industrial-grade thermal transfer printer designed for mid-range printing applications in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. It offers a balance of performance, durability, and affordability.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Fast Print Speed: Delivers a blazing-fast print speed of up to 10 inches per second (254 mm/sec), making it efficient for handling high-volume printing needs.
• High Resolution Printing: Offers a standard resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch), ensuring clear and legible labels with crisp barcodes, text, and even detailed graphics.
• Printing Technology: Primarily utilizes thermal transfer printing, creating 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-Grade Build: Features a robust design with a premium metal frame, built to withstand harsh industrial environments in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates large rolls of labels with an outer diameter of up to 6.8 inches (172.7 mm), minimizing media changes and downtime.
• Media Fine Adjustment: This feature (on some models) allows for precise media alignment, improving print quality and reducing ribbon wrinkles.
• Clear View Window: A window allows for easy monitoring of media levels.

Usability and User Interface:

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

Connectivity Options:

• Flexible Connectivity: Equipped with a variety of interfaces for seamless network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet for network printing.
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a computer.
  • USB Host port for connecting external devices like a scanner or keyboard.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity (optional on some models) for wireless printing from compatible devices or mobile applications (increasing mobility and flexibility).

Memory:

• Ample Storage: The MH-361T comes with 512 MB Flash memory and 256 MB SDRAM memory, providing sufficient space 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 superior label clarity.
• Media Versatility: The MH-361T 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:

• Heavy-Duty Cutter: Designed for reliable and precise cutting of labels after printing.
• Optional Features: Several features might be available depending on the specific model, including:
  • GPIO Connectivity for connection to external devices or sensors for additional functionality.
