TSC MH261T 6-Inch Industrial Barcode Printer overview
The MH261T is the 6-inch member of TSC's MH241/MH261 family. It prints labels up to 168 mm (6.61") wide, which makes it a good fit for pallet labels, larger shipping labels and signage. It prints at 203 dpi and reaches 12 ips. A 300 dpi version, the MH361T, is also available.
The printer has a die-cast mechanism, takes 8.2" OD label rolls and uses 450 m ribbons from 2" to 7" wide. You operate it from a 4.3" colour touchscreen, and the TPH Care feature in TSC Sense Care checks printhead condition.
Standard ports are RS-232, parallel, USB 2.0, Ethernet and two USB host ports. GPIO and a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.2 combo module are dealer options, and the printer supports remote management with SOTI Connect and TSC Console.
