TSC TTP 384MT Barcode Printer

Description:

This 8-inch wide industrial printer series features two models to meet your wide format labeling needs: TTP-286MT, 203 dpi resolution at print speeds up to 6-inches per second. TTP-384MT, 300 dpi resolution at print speeds up to 4 inches per second. With its wide printing capabilities, the TTP-286MT is designed to print wide lateral bar codes without the need for image rotation.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 4 inches per second (102 mm/sec), enabling efficient handling of moderate to high-volume printing needs.
• Print Resolution: Offers a standard resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch), ensuring clear and crisp printing of barcodes, text, and even intricate graphics on wide labels.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial Construction: Features a robust design with a full metal frame that can withstand harsh industrial environments in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates wide labels with a maximum print width of up to 8.64 inches (219.5 mm) at 300 dpi resolution and 8.5 inches (215.9 mm) at 203 dpi resolution. The outer diameter of the media roll can be up to 8.2 inches (208.3 mm). This reduces the frequency of media changes and keeps printing operations running smoothly.
• Clear View Window: Allows for easy monitoring of media levels, so you can refill before encountering any interruptions.

Usability and User Interface:

• High-Contrast Touchscreen (on some models): Provides a user-friendly interface for navigation, configuration, and monitoring tasks. The large, 4.3-inch color touchscreen with high contrast makes it easy to interact with the printer even in bright or poorly lit environments (alternative LCD displays might be available on some models).
• Control Buttons: In addition to the touchscreen (if applicable), control buttons are typically available for basic operation.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Equipped with a variety of interfaces for flexible network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet for network printing, enabling multiple users to access the printer on a shared network.
  • 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 Storage: Comes standard with sufficient memory capacity (exact specifications might vary depending on the model) for fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and custom applications. This ensures smooth operation and storage of necessary printing elements.

Advanced Features (depending on the model):

• 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, especially at higher resolutions.
• Media Versatility: The TTP-384MT can handle a range of wide format label types and media, including continuous labels, die-cut labels, black mark labels, fan-fold labels, and notched labels, providing flexibility for various printing applications.
• Ribbon Handling: Utilizes thermal transfer printing, offering features like a ribbon end sensor and encoder to ensure proper ribbon usage and avoid printing errors (ribbon not included).
• TSPL-EZ Printer Programming Language: Supports industry-standard languages for customizing label formats and integrating with existing barcode software, allowing for tailored printing solutions.

Additional Enhancements (depending on the model):

• Optional Cutter: An automatic cutter can be included for precise on-demand label separation, improving workflow efficiency.
• Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Connectivity (optional): Enables wireless printing from compatible devices or mobile applications, offering more flexibility in printer placement and operation.
