TSC MB240 Series Industrial Thermal Transfer Printer

Model TSC MB240 Series Brand TSC Printers

TSC's MB240 series of industrial thermal label printers is the new value leader for 4" wide light industrial label printing, designed to fit alongside TSC's bigger industrial printer models including the MH240 and MX240P series. The MB240 features a small footprint, an easily understandable operator interface, and a full set of options to meet nearly every printing application.

Its compact design, quiet operation, and fast label throughput make it equally at home in the office or on the shop floor. The printer's all-metal construction and die-cast aluminum print mechanism engine are durable enough to withstand the toughest production environments, built for years of trouble-free use.
