New benchmarks in portable label printing

From March 13 to 15, 2012, TSC Auto ID EMEA Technology GmbH will be at LogiMAT 2012 in Stuttgart to present their latest product development, the Alpha-3R portable label printer, for the first time in Germany. This superlight 550 g printer has a variety of attractive standard and high-performance features that simply cannot be found in comparable printers in its class. TSC Auto ID will also be presenting its TTP-2410M Pro series, which is based on the familiar best-selling TTP-2410M and guarantees top performance in industrial thermal transfer printing.


With the new Alpha-3R portable thermal direct printer, TSC Auto ID is setting yet another new highlight. The Alpha-3R prints a maximum print length of 2268 mm (more than twice that of a comparable model from the competition!) and at a print speed of 100 mm/sec and a resolution of 203 dpi, for razor-sharp labels with a printed width of up to 80 mm. That makes the Alpha-3R perfect for many requirements in commerce, in sales, in the warehouse, in production or in transportation - but also in the public arena such as the police, fire-fighters or clinical uses.


8 MB DRAM and 4 MB of Flash memory provide plenty of storage capacity. USB 2.0 is integrated by default, along with the programming languages TSPL-EZ (EPL2, ZPL2) and CPCL.


Peak performance in a compact package

This user-friendly device, at only 550 g including the battery, is so light that it can easily be carried on a belt for long periods. A rechargeable 7.4V/2500 mAh battery ensures ideal performance for 12 hours. The user can see the current status at any time using a clear LED display.


Not just the performance, but also the price of the Alpha-3R is attractive, because it doesn't just offer the best price/performance ratio in its class - it is actually the least expensive. As usual with TSC Auto ID, it has a 2-year warranty period.


Stable construction and high functionality

The TTP-2410M Pro thermal transfer printer also to be presented at LogiMAT 2012 is also characterised by top performance at an unbeatable price. This high-performance printer is based on the familiar TTP-2410M platform, but it includes a number of improvements in the functionality and service life of that already robust model.


The improved motor ensures quieter and even more precise printing, with a removal back wall for easy handling and an aluminium floor plate for rigidity. It now also includes a very stable label feed, an antistatic film brush and a label tensioner consisting of two rollers.


The TTP-2410M Pro is rounded out by a lockable gap sensor that prevents the label sensor from slipping. In addition to the standard built-in interfaces such as Ethernet, Centronics, RS-232, PS/2 keyboard interface and USB 2.0, the TTP-2410M Pro can also optionally be equipped with a USB host. That makes it ready for any application that requires the use of a USB scanner or a keyboard.


Of course, TSC Auto ID will also offer a comprehensive overview at the conference of its entire product line of high-performance desktop and industrial printers, as well as mobile devices - and the ideal label solution for every application in industry, trade, logistics, transport and health care.
