TSC Cutter - Etiket-/labelprinter

In high-volume labelling environments, manual cutting of labels slows down production and introduces errors. The TSC CUT-MB240-0001 solves this by integrating a precise guillotine cutter directly into a robust industrial printer, delivering cleanly separated labels at speeds up to 6 inches per second. This printer handles both thermal transfer and direct thermal media, making it suitable for everything from shipping labels to durable product identification.

Who is it for

This printer is built for warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing lines, and retail back offices that require fast, accurate label printing with automatic cutting. It is ideal for businesses that print large volumes of labels and need to eliminate manual trimming, reduce waste, and improve workflow efficiency.

Main features

• Integrated guillotine cutter for automatic label separation, reducing manual labour and increasing throughput.
• High-resolution 203 dpi printing (8 dots/mm) ensures crisp text, barcodes, and graphics on labels up to 108 mm wide.
• Dual-mode printing: thermal transfer for long-lasting labels and direct thermal for cost-effective short-life applications.
• Fast print speed of up to 152 mm/s (6 ips) keeps pace with demanding production schedules.
• Flexible connectivity with USB 2.0, RS-232, Ethernet, and USB Host for standalone or networked operation.
• Supports a wide range of media types including roll-fed, fan-fold, die-cut, continuous, and optional linerless labels.
• Large 300 m ribbon capacity reduces downtime for ribbon changes in high-volume environments.
• Robust 400 MHz 32-bit RISC processor with 16 MB SDRAM and 8 MB Flash memory for fast label processing.
• Emulates TSPL-EZD, compatible with EPL, ZPL, and ZPL II, ensuring easy integration with existing software.
• Includes Bartender UltraLite label design software and Windows drivers for quick setup.

Tips

To maximise cutter life, use only approved label materials and regularly clean the cutter blade according to the user manual. For linerless media, ensure the optional linerless kit is installed. When using thermal transfer mode, match ribbon width to label width to avoid ribbon wrinkling and print defects.
