To simplify loading, the TDP-244 employs a user-friendly double-wall clamshell design with a large 5-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. The TDP-244 has plenty of memory, with 8 MB DRAM and 4 MB FLASH that can be used for easy storage of fonts, international character sets and graphics. It also 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.

During the pre-installation transitional phase, TSC developed a technology that enables the TDP-244 to support two different printers running different printer languages, each with a custom label format. Hermes was impressed not only by the TDP-244’s configurability, but also by its custom-adjustable clamshell design. The printer’s grey-color housing was specially selected by Hermes and displays the company’s distinctive logo on both sides.

TSC configured its TDP-244 label printer specifically for Hermes, based on the requirements of PDS Entwicklungs-und Service GmbH, a leading mobile data-collection company based in Cologne, Germany. PDS GmbH was chosen by Hermes to oversee the installation of the TSC label printers. Using TSC’s built-in Bluetooth module, the TDP-244 printers, 14,000 of them, are now being integrated into Hermes’ existing parcel shop data system, enabling them to quickly and efficiently print 4-by-2-inch labels for incoming and outgoing packages.

During the selection process the TDP-244 stood out because of its reliable technology and customizable design. A durable, economically priced printer, the TDP-244 offers a wealth of features, including 203-dpi resolution, print speeds up to 4 inches per second and high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity.

Faced with growing competition, Hermes Logistik Gruppe (HLG), Germany’s largest privately held parcel-delivery service, wanted to ensure the fast, reliable delivery of packages to customers who use its more than 14,000 parcel shops. To expedite and monitor the delivery process, packages carry a unique identifier in the form of a linear barcode. The barcode, along with additional information, makes it easy to identify parcels and track their movement through the transport chain. More than 260 million parcels annually flow through Hermes’ inhouse sorting lines before delivery to their final destination for customer pickup.

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.

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.
