TSC Printronix Auto ID has rolled out a series of strategic upgrades to its best-selling barcode printers and print engines, introducing new models alongside enhanced security features, next-generation wireless connectivity, intelligent remote management capabilities, and a sophisticated printhead management system. These upgrades are designed to elevate operational efficiency, connectivity reliability and supply chain label quality for industrial users across diverse sectors.
The newly enhanced printer models are integrated with powerful, highly adaptable wireless connectivity options – including built-in 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 modules – which deliver faster roaming speeds and significantly boost overall productivity. This advanced connectivity performs exceptionally well in facilities with multi-access point Wi-Fi networks, ensuring seamless, lossless data transmission during roaming between different access points and eliminating costly workflow interruptions caused by data loss.
TSC has revamped the core electronic components of its MX, MH and PEX series printers to optimize their operational performance and stability. In addition to the core component upgrades, the MH261 product line has been expanded with two new 6-inch industrial thermal transfer printers: the MH261T and MH361T, further enriching the company’s product portfolio to meet the diverse labeling needs of industrial applications.
All upgraded printer models come with native support for SOTI Connect, a leading enterprise device management platform. This integration provides enhanced visibility into the health and operational performance of entire printer fleets, delivering real-time data and analytics to administrators. Empowered by this tool, businesses can implement full-lifecycle remote management of their printing devices – including remote monitoring, configuration and troubleshooting – streamlining device management workflows and reducing on-site maintenance costs.
A landmark advancement in printhead management technology stands out as a key upgrade, effectively preventing non-compliant or poor-quality labels from entering the supply chain. The integrated intelligent printhead management mechanism conducts real-time scanning and accurate reporting of defective dots on printheads, and issues proactive alerts to prompt the replacement of faulty printheads before they impact label quality. What’s more, the system automatically logs and stores detailed printhead usage data locally, providing users with clear, actionable insights into key metrics such as total print output volume, real-time printhead health status and optimal replacement timelines.
TSC Printronix Auto ID remains unwaveringly committed to delivering cutting-edge thermal printing technology and solutions to its global customers. All upgraded products are engineered to operate reliably and efficiently in the demanding industrial environments of logistics, manufacturing, retail and other sectors, helping businesses optimize their labeling and traceability workflows and enhance overall supply chain efficiency.
