Label printer TSC TC300

The TSC TC300 is a desktop thermal transfer label printer designed for reliable, compact label production. Based on the proven TSC TC series, the TC300 prints 4-inch-wide labels, tags or receipts at up to 102 mm/sec (approximately 6 ips) with a maximum resolution of 300 x 300 dpi. It accepts thermal transfer ribbons up to 110 m long on 0.5" notched cores and holds label rolls up to 5" diameter on 1" or 1.5" cores. The unit is available in navy and provides wired Ethernet LAN connectivity for integration into POS and label printing environments.

Advantages

Compact footprint and durable construction make the TSC TC300 suitable for environments with limited space. The printer combines a 300 x 300 dpi resolution and a 102 mm/sec print speed to deliver clear, readable labels at a practical throughput. Media and ribbon loading are designed for ease of use: center-biased spring-loaded roll holder and support for 0.5" notched core ribbons reduce downtime. Standard interfaces include Ethernet, USB 2.0, USB host and RS-232 for flexible connectivity.

Recommendations

Use ribbons up to 110 m in length on 0.5" notched cores and label rolls no larger than 5" diameter on 1" or 1.5" cores. For consistent print quality, select thermal transfer media and ribbons compatible with 300 x 300 dpi output and perform periodic printhead cleaning as recommended by the manufacturer.
