TSC M-23 Portable Printer
(TSC M23 Printer)

The new TSC M-23 portable
printer is the first in a series of TSC portable printers. It introduces
a whole new dimension for lightweight wired or wireless printing. Its 3"
print width makes it perfect for retail marking applications such as
- Item marking
- Markdowns
- Shelf labeling
- Small signs
- Shelf talkers
- Portable POS
The 3" wide print width allows end users
to use the same printer for a variety of applications including
traditional item marking, markdowns, and re-ticketing. The 3" print
width also provides the ability to print shelf labels horizontally -
saving time and money. In addition, emerging applications like printing
small signage- or shelf talkers as well as 3" receipts for portable POS
necessitate the 3" print width. The more applications the end user can
address with the same equipment, the easier it is to cost justify the
purchase.
