TSC Auto ID Technology has introduced a new two-inch-wide small-footprint thermal label printer – the TTP-225 – is loaded with standard features, comes with a two-year vs. one-year warranty, and costs about 15 percent less than comparable products on the market.
Ideal for most retail, medical and office applications, the new ultra-compact TTP-225 is loaded with standard features and options not offered by other printers in its class, including a USB host option, a real-time clock (an expensive extra on other small-footprint units) and an adjustable sensor – a $90 option on many other printers.
In addition, the TTP-225 is the industry’s first two-inch-wide thermal-transfer desktop printer to offer an optional LCD display. The LCD presents important information about job status and setup, greatly simplifying the entire printing process.
‘Out-of-the-box’ language-emulation support
The TTP-225 offers plenty of other attractive features, including a label-present sensor, cutters, an optional keyboard for printing labels in standalone mode or downtime periods, and an inexpensive internal Ethernet adapter for easy integration into network systems.
The TTP-225 also comes with a secure digital (SD) Flash card reader for easy storage of fonts, international character sets and graphics, and it supports, “right out of the box,” the most popular programming languages, including Eltron® and Zebra® languages, making it easy to replace old installed hardware. It also comes with a head-up sensor and supports (in addition to Ethernet) both serial and USB 2.0 connectivity.
A wide range of applications
The TTP-225’s space-saving, feature-rich design makes it the perfect solution for a wide range of applications, including retail point-of-sale labeling, oil change and auto service labeling, pharmacy prescription labeling, healthcare specimen labeling, shelf labeling, file-folder labeling, inventory and asset management, and wristband labeling.
Easy-loading clamshell design
For easy loading, the TTP-225 employs a user-friendly double-clamshell design with a large five-inch (outside diameter) center-biased media bay. To load the unit, users simply open the cover and drop labels into a spring-loaded media guide. Top-of-form sensing – by gap, black mark, or notch – is standard and completely adjustable from side to side.
203-dpi and 300-dpi resolutions
The TTP-225 offers a choice of two resolutions: a standard 203-dpi version featuring print speeds up to five inches per second and a higher resolution 300-dpi version. The 300-dpi model, the TTP-323, is ideal for producing two-dimensional barcodes, fine text and small-graphics labels.
“Our new TTP-225 is not only loaded with extras, but also comes with a standard two-year warranty, while featuring an attractive price tag that is about 15 percent less than the cost of other printers in its class,” said David Lundeen, vice president of sales and marketing for TSC Auto ID Technology America, Inc. “It’s a great product that brings TSC quality, innovation, performance and reliability to the two-inch compact-printer market – at a superb value.”
