TSC PEX-2340L 3-inch Desktop Barcode Printer (203 dpi)

Product Specifications

Product Details

The TSC PEX-2340L Desktop Barcode Printer addresses the growing need for wider label printing capabilities in compact desktop form factors. With its 3.1-inch maximum print width, this printer bridges the gap between standard 2-inch desktop printers and larger industrial units, providing businesses with expanded labeling options without requiring significant workspace or investment. The 203 dpi resolution ensures that barcodes remain sharp and scannable, while text and graphics maintain clarity across the wider print area.

This wider format capability makes the PEX-2340L particularly valuable for applications that require more horizontal space for information, graphics, or multiple data fields. The additional width allows for more comprehensive labeling without reducing font sizes to unreadable levels, making it ideal for compliance labeling, detailed product information, multi-language content, and labels with company branding elements.

Despite its wider printing capability, the PEX-2340L maintains the user-friendly design and simple operation characteristic of the PEX series. The USB 2.0 interface ensures compatibility with modern computing systems, while the intuitive media loading system accommodates the wider label rolls without complexity. The printer's dimensions (8.3" × 11.8" × 8.7") are optimized to provide wider printing capability while maintaining a footprint suitable for desktop, countertop, or shelf placement.

The PEX-2340L excels in these wider format labeling applications:

• Retail & Product Labeling: Wider product labels with detailed descriptions, ingredient lists, usage instructions, and branding elements for retail products, food items, and consumer goods.
• Shipping & Logistics: Larger shipping labels with complete address information, tracking barcodes, handling instructions, and return addresses for packages and shipments.
• Compliance & Regulatory Labeling: Labels with extensive regulatory information, safety warnings, compliance symbols, and multi-language content for industrial, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications.
• Asset Management: Wider asset tags with comprehensive identification information, maintenance records, ownership details, and tracking data for equipment and inventory.
• Warehouse & Inventory Control: Bin labels, shelf tags, and location identifiers with detailed information for warehouse management and inventory tracking systems.
• Healthcare & Laboratory: Specimen labels with extensive patient data, test information, collection details, and handling instructions for medical and laboratory applications.
• Office & Facility Management: Door signs, equipment labels, and facility identification with comprehensive information and branding elements.
• Event & Conference Management: Name badges, attendee labels, and session tags with detailed information and branding for events and conferences.

The printer's direct thermal printing technology offers significant operational advantages. By eliminating the need for ribbons, ink, or toner cartridges, the PEX-2340L reduces ongoing consumable costs while providing reliable, consistent output. The thermal printing process creates durable images on specially coated label materials, with the 203 dpi resolution ensuring good readability and scanning performance across the wider print area.

Media handling capabilities are optimized for wider labels, with support for label widths ranging from 1.0" to 3.2". This flexibility allows users to print standard 2-inch labels as well as wider 3-inch formats, providing versatility for different labeling requirements. The printer accommodates roll diameters up to 3.1 inches, balancing media capacity with compact design.

Energy-efficient operation and quiet performance (less than 55 dB) make the PEX-2340L suitable for office, retail, healthcare, and educational environments where noise levels and power consumption are considerations. The printer's reliable performance ensures consistent output quality, whether printing individual labels or batches.

Compatibility with industry-standard label design software allows users to create sophisticated label layouts that take full advantage of the wider print area. The ability to include multiple data fields, graphics, logos, and barcodes on a single label enhances information presentation and functionality.

Maintenance requirements are minimal, with the primary consumable being the thermal labels themselves. The printhead has an expected lifespan of approximately 50 kilometers, providing long-term reliability for typical usage scenarios. The straightforward mechanical design facilitates easy cleaning and routine maintenance when required.

Backed by TSC's commitment to quality and supported by Markaa's comprehensive service network, the PEX-2340L represents an excellent value proposition for businesses seeking wider label printing capabilities in a desktop format. Whether expanding labeling capabilities from 2-inch to 3-inch formats or implementing a new wider-format labeling system, this printer provides the additional print width needed for more comprehensive labeling while maintaining the convenience and affordability of desktop printing.
