TSC MB241T Industrial RFID Barcode Label Printer
The MB241T's bifold media door design shrinks your operational footprint by 24%, making industrial-grade RFID printing accessible even in tight workspaces. With RAIN UHF passive RFID encoding (GS1 EPC Gen2 v2 / ISO 18000-63), you can handle both standard RFID labels and on-metal tags up to 1.65 mm (0.06 in) thick, verified by TSC's Validation Lab. The all-metal print mechanism delivers consistent encoding and printing at speeds up to 304.8 mm (12 in) per second, while TSC Sense Care smart monitoring prevents costly downtime by tracking printhead health and performance metrics. Deploy faster with auto-switching printer language emulation that simplifies integration across mixed printer fleets. Remote management through SOTI Connect, TSC Console, and the Internal Embedded Webpage lets IT configure, troubleshoot, and update printers from anywhere. Optional accessories including a guillotine cutter, peel-off kit, and Wi-Fi & Bluetooth module adapt to evolving workflow needs. ENERGY STAR® qualified with 100% recyclable packaging and casing, the MB241T delivers RFID encoding capabilities for manufacturing, transportation, retail, and healthcare applications where asset tracking and supply chain visibility drive operational efficiency.
