TDP-244
Desktop Barcode Printer

Historic Reliability At An Affordable Price
TSC is pleased to introduce the TDP-244 direct thermal desktop printer.  In typical TSC fashion, the TDP-244
offers a perfect combination of ultra low cost with a durable and reliable design.

TSC has been leading the way in 4” direct thermal desktop printers since the introduction of its best selling
TDP-245 model in 2002.  The TDP-244 is a new economy version of the proven TDP-245 architecture which
has an installed base of over 100,000 printers.

The new TDP-244 printer features 203 DPI resolution, print speeds up to 4 inches per second and high speed
USB 2.0 connectivity.  Its large 60 watt power supply produces high quality printed labels.

The TDP-244 is an ideal printer for product marking, shipping, retail and other labeling applications at the best
price anywhere.  For easy loading, the TDP-244 employs a user-friendly double-wall clamshell design with a
large five-inch (outside diameter) center-biased media bay.  Top-of-form sensing – by gap, black mark, or notch
– is standard and completely adjustable from side to side.  It also comes with a head-open sensor.

The TDP-244 has plenty of memory with 8MB DRAM and 4 MB FLASH that can be used for easy storage of
fonts, international character sets and graphics, and it supports, “right out of the box,” a fully compatible set
of standard industry emulations, including Eltron® and Zebra® languages, making it easy to replace old
installed hardware.
