TSC Adds New TDP-324W Wristband and TDP-324 Label Desktop Printers
TSC has added two new high-resolution printers, the TDP-324W wristband printer and the TDP-324 desktop printer, to its growing line of direct-thermal desktop products.
TDP-324W Wristband Printer
The two-inch-format TDP-324W is engineered to print high-definition wristbands used for patient identification, entertainment ticketing and various government applications, including restricted-area access and visitor identification.
Standard features include a 300-dpi printhead, a large 6.5-inch-diameter media cabinet, and an easy-to-read LCD that displays printer status. The TDP-324W can be operated either as a standalone desktop or wall-mounted printer and supports USB 2.0 and Ethernet communications. It also features a USB-host port for connecting keyboards or scanners.
TSC consulted with many of the industry’s largest wristband manufacturers during the early development of the TDP-324W. Many of their recommendations were incorporated into its design. As a result, the printer offers customers maximum flexibility in the choice of wristband types, while supporting a wide variety of wristband-printing applications.
The TDP-324W can be optionally configured to print wristbands even if a computer network fails. In the event of an outage, operators can quickly configure a PC keyboard to enter wristband ID information, eliminating costly downtime.
