TSC MB241T – a label printer that gets on with the job

The TSC MB241T is an industrial thermal transfer label printer built for the daily grind. Whether you're running a café, a retail shop, or a workshop, this printer handles repeated label runs without fuss — no constant adjusting, no unexpected stops mid-shift.

Prints fast enough that the queue doesn't build up

At up to 305 mm/s, a label is done before the customer has time to drum their fingers on the counter. Resolution is 203 dpi (8 dots/mm), which is plenty for barcodes, address labels, and price tags. Maximum print width is 107 mm and the printer accepts media up to 120 mm wide, so one device covers the label sizes you're most likely to use.

Settings from the printer itself — no laptop needed

The 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD lets you check print status and adjust settings directly on the device. The built-in real-time clock (RTC) keeps date and time stamps accurate, including after the printer has been switched off overnight — handy for anything that needs a correct timestamp on the label.

Connects to almost any till or stock system you already have

The MB241T offers four connection options:

• ·USB (Type B) — direct connection to a computer
• ·USB Host — plug in a USB stick or external device straight to the printer
• ·RS232 — serial port for older point-of-sale systems
• ·Ethernet (10/100 Mbit) — connect to your local network so several staff can share the printer

In practice, this means the printer slots into your current setup regardless of how your till or inventory system is connected.

Memory and sensors handle roll changes without drama

256 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash memory keep your label templates and settings stored on the device. Black Mark and Gap sensors detect different label materials automatically, so swapping a roll doesn't turn into a lengthy re-configuration.

Everything you need to get started is in the box

The printer ships with a USB cable, power supply unit, and power cable in both EU and UK plug formats. Warranty is 24 months and the unit is manufactured in Taiwan.
