TSC Desktop Direct Thermal Barcode Printer - DA220

The TSC DA220 is an enterprise-grade 4-inch desktop direct thermal label printer engineered to bring expanded connectivity, high-capacity processing, and commercial reliability to demanding retail, logistics, and supply chain operations. A premium step up from the entry-level DA210 series, this versatile workhorse features a robust internal memory bank and an all-in-one network interface layout, allowing you to seamlessly share the printer across multiple workstations or tie it directly into complex warehouse management networks.

Product Features:

Expanded All-In-One Network Interfaces: Equipped with an onboard multi-interface suite—including Ethernet (LAN), USB 2.0 High-Speed, USB Host, and RS-232 Serial ports. This expanded connectivity standard lets you deploy the printer as a shared network device or connect an external peripheral like a standalone keyboard or barcode scanner.
Blazing Fast High-Quality Output: Driven by a heavy-duty 60-watt power supply, the DA220 produces razor-sharp text, custom logos, and precise barcodes at print speeds up to 6 inches per second (152 mm/s) without fading or losing contrast.
Massive Onboard Memory Bank: Loaded with 64MB SDRAM and 128MB Flash memory, allowing enterprise users to easily store large international character sets, intricate TrueType fonts, and complex graphic layouts directly on the hardware for near-instant job processing.
Rugged Double-Walled Frame: Constructed with a premium, double-walled plastic clamshell housing that handles the rigorous wear of busy fulfillment centers while opening wide for fast, tool-less 5-inch Outside Diameter (OD) media roll swaps.
Universal Auto-Language Emulation: Runs intelligent TSPL-EZD firmware that automatically senses and emulates standard industry languages out of the box—including Zebra (ZPL, ZPL II), Eltron (EPL), and Datamax (DPL)—making it a true plug-and-play replacement for older, failing hardware.

Ideal Applications:

Logistics & Distribution: High-volume 4" x 6" parcel shipping labels, inventory management tracking stickers, and bin location tags.
Retail & Point-of-Sale: Product markdown labels, item pricing tags, shelf edge signs, and itemized customer vouchers.
Healthcare & Administration: Specimen labels, file folder indexing, patient wristbands, and security asset tracking.
