TSC M-23 Portable Printer
(TSC M23 Printer)
  TSC M-23 Portable 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.
