The TSC MB241 from the MB241 Series is a rugged, space-saving industrial label printer: its bi-fold media door cuts the space needed for operation by 24%, while the all-metal print mechanism on a metal frame handles high volumes as well as thicker tags and hangtags. It prints in thermal transfer and direct thermal at 203 dpi and up to 305 mm/s, takes 203 mm (8-inch) label rolls on 1- to 3-inch cores and 450 m ribbons, and connects via USB, RS-232, Ethernet and USB host as standard. This version, MB241-A001-0202, has a 2.3-inch colour LCD with six-button menu navigation.

The standard models have a 2.3-inch colour LCD, the T models a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen. Compare other models in our Industrial Label Printers collection or contact our team for volume pricing.
