TSC PEX-2260 6-Inch Print Engine overview
The PEX-2260 is the 6-inch, 203 dpi version of TSC's PEX-2000 print engine series, for automatic labelling lines that need wide labels such as pallet and carton labels. It prints up to 168 mm (6.61") wide at up to 14 inches per second and comes in right-hand (PEX-2260R) and left-hand (PEX-2260L) versions.
Like the 4-inch models, it supports DB15/DB25 applicator interfaces and GPIO emulations, accepts 600 m ribbons from 3 to 7.1 inches wide, and has an adjustable-angle peel-off. Dealer options include UHF RFID encoding and a ribbon saver.
The engine has a 536 MHz processor with 512 MB Flash and 512 MB DDR2 RAM, a 3.5-inch colour display and an operating range of -5 to 45 °C. It can be managed with TSC Console and SOTI Connect.
