TSC TC200 Desktop Thermal Transfer Barcode Printer

Product Code / MPN: 99-059A003-6002
Brand: TSC Printronix

Keep your busy warehouse, retail stockroom, or shipping department running smoothly with the TSC TC200. This hard-working desktop label printer is built for environments that require dependable, day-in-day-out label production without taking up valuable desk space. From printing high-volume courier shipping labels and product identification tags to asset management stickers, it delivers sharp results at impressive speeds.

The TC200 uses a premium double-walled clamshell design that handles tough daily use while making media changes straightforward. It supports both direct thermal (printing without ink on heat-sensitive paper) and thermal transfer printing (using an ink ribbon for long-lasting, scratch-resistant labels), giving you total choice over your labelling materials.

Key Features That Make Printing Simple

• Complete Connection Options: Comes standard with Ethernet, USB 2.0, Serial (RS-232), and Parallel ports, allowing you to plug into older legacy systems or network it directly to multiple computers across your workplace.

• High-Speed Dispatch: Prints at speeds up to 152mm per second (6 inches per second), letting you clear through large batches of shipping labels or barcode sheets without waiting around.

• Clear, Scannable Printing: The crisp 203 dpi resolution ensures tiny text, tracking numbers, and complex 1D or 2D barcodes (like QR codes) are easily readable by industrial scanners.

• Effortless Loading: The wide-opening spring-loaded top cover lets you drop in standard 5-inch outer diameter label rolls and up to 110-metre ribbon rolls without awkward feeding or fiddly threading.

• Universal Compatibility: Built-in TSPL-EZ firmware automatically interprets and translates label files designed for Zebra or Eltron printers, letting you swap out old hardware without reprogramming your current setup.
