MX240 Series MX240/MX340/MX640

Durable High-Volume, Mission Critical Label Printing
The MX240 Series Industrial Printer is ruggedly built for high volume, mission critical, label printing. Featuring
our fastest processor ever, the MX240 Series boosts productivity with faster communications and printing
speeds. The MX240 Series is ideal for applications including manufacturing, logistics, shipping, and product
identification.

The new high performance MX240 Series was built from the ground up to deliver 24x7 mission critical
performance. The MX240 Series features a die-cast aluminum print mechanism housed in a very strong
yet lightweight cabinet. This new design results in a more durable printer that is suited for your most heavy
-duty demand cycles.。

Superb resolution, great warranty
There are three models available with the MX Series. The MX240 prints at 203 dpi at speeds up to fourteen
inches per second, MX340 offers 300 dpi resolution at speeds up to twelve inches per second, and the
MX640 features 600 dpi high resolution which makes it ideal for printing very small 2D barcodes, graphics,
fine print and other ultra-high-resolution images. All TSC printers feature a standard two-year limited warranty.

Loaded with standard features
The MX Series printers are loaded with standard features including a color touch display with six menu
buttons, support for 600 meter ribbons, 8” OD media rolls, built-in Ethernet, two USB hosts for keyboard
and scanner connections, and USB 2.0, parallel and serial interfaces. An industry-standard GPIO port is
available as an option.

Memory to spare
The MX240 Series offers plenty of memory, including 256 MB SDRAM and 128 MB FLASH, which provides
easy storage of fonts, international character sets and graphics. The MX Series also includes a secure
digital (SD) FLASH memory card slot for inexpensively adding up to 32 GB of memory.
