Label printer TSC PEX-2000 Series 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) with display, USB, USB Host, RS232, Ethernet, GPIO, kit (USB), black

The TSC PEX-2000 Series label printer is an industrial print engine offering 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) resolution, a built-in LCD display and a range of wired interfaces. Designed for printing high-detail barcode labels, product tags and small-format thermal labels, this model supports media up to 118 mm wide with a maximum print width of 104 mm. The unit is supplied as a kit including a USB cable and power cable and provides onboard memory for complex label formats and graphics.

Advantages

The PEX-2000 Series combines fine 300 dpi print quality with a compact industrial design and a user-facing LCD display for straightforward status checks and configuration. Multiple connectivity options — USB 2.0, USB Host ports, RS232 serial, Ethernet and GPIO — enable flexible integration into existing POS, warehouse or production systems. With 512 MB RAM and 512 MB flash memory, the printer handles large label formats and image data reliably. A maximum print speed of 356 mm/s and support for rolls up to 90 mm diameter reduce downtime and increase throughput in high-volume environments.

How to use

Install the printer on a stable surface and connect the power cable. Use the supplied USB cable or Ethernet to link the printer to a PC, POS terminal or network. Configure basic settings and load media through the front-loading mechanism, ensuring the media width does not exceed 118 mm and the ribbon core matches 25.4 mm where applicable. Use the LCD display to navigate menus, set print parameters and run test prints. Send print jobs from label design software or device drivers compatible with the PEX-2000 Series.

Usage recommendations

For consistent print quality, use thermal transfer ribbons and label media recommended for 300 dpi printing, keep the printhead and platen roller clean, and avoid exceeding the specified roll diameter. When integrating via Ethernet or RS232, verify network settings and driver compatibility before large-scale deployment.
