Confirm Exact Configuration Before Large Orders
This listing (DH240-A001-1001) is built on the same TSC DH240T platform as our DH240-A001-0001 listing. TSC's DH240 part-number suffix typically encodes locale/region and minor default options (such as real-time clock or buzzer defaults) rather than a different connectivity tier. If your deployment specifically depends on a distinction between the -1001 and -0001 part numbers, please confirm the exact configuration with ShopPOSPortal or TSC before ordering in volume.
Current Replacement for the TSC TDP-247 Series
The TSC DH240 Series replaces the discontinued TDP-247 Series. That makes the DH240T an important current option for businesses replacing older TDP-247 printers or standardizing new desktop label-printing deployments.
TSC TDP-247
- 203 dpi
- Direct thermal
- Up to 7 ips
- USB
- RS-232 serial
- Parallel on common legacy configurations
- Older desktop printer platform
TSC DH240T
- 203 dpi
- Direct thermal
- Up to 8 ips
- USB
- RS-232 serial
- Built-in Ethernet
- USB Host
- Color LCD with buttons
- 128 MB Flash
- 128 MB SDRAM
Important: The DH240T should not be assumed to be a drop-in replacement for every TDP-247 installation. Older TDP-247 systems using a parallel connection may need to move to USB, serial or Ethernet. Confirm your software, driver, interface and label requirements before replacing the printer.
Why Choose the TSC DH240T?
Fast 8 IPS Printing
The 203 dpi DH240T prints at speeds up to 8 inches per second, making it a strong desktop option for shipping, receiving, retail, inventory and other recurring label-printing workflows.
Built-In Ethernet
Ethernet connectivity makes the DH240T well suited to networked label-printing environments where a printer needs to be available to a workstation, application or supported network workflow without relying only on a direct USB connection.
Color LCD Interface
The integrated color LCD with buttons gives users a convenient way to view printer status and work through supported configuration and operating functions directly at the printer.
USB Host Connectivity
USB Host expands the printer's connectivity options for compatible peripheral and standalone workflow requirements. Actual peripheral support depends on the application and configuration.

Important: DH240T Is Direct Thermal Only
The TSC DH240T prints on compatible direct thermal label media and does not require ink, toner or a thermal-transfer ribbon.
Direct thermal printing is a strong choice for shipping labels, retail labels, inventory labels, food labels and other applications where ribbon-free operation is preferred. If you need longer-lasting labels, outdoor durability, synthetic media or ribbon-based printing, compare an appropriate TSC thermal-transfer printer instead.
Direct Thermal vs. Thermal Transfer
| Feature | TSC DH240T Direct Thermal | Thermal Transfer Printer |
|---|---|---|
| Ribbon Required | No | Yes |
| Typical Media | Heat-sensitive direct thermal labels | Thermal-transfer labels plus ribbon |
| Best For | Shipping, inventory, food, retail and short-to-medium-life labels | Longer-life product, asset, synthetic, outdoor and harsh-environment labels |
| Daily Operation | No ribbon changes | Ribbon changes required |
| Choose When | You want straightforward ribbon-free label printing | Label durability or specialized media is more important |
Replacing a TSC TDP-247?
The DH240 Series is the manufacturer-designated replacement family for the TDP-247 Series. The DH240T maintains the core 203 dpi direct thermal desktop format while moving the platform toward faster printing, modern Ethernet connectivity, USB Host, substantially more memory and a color display.
View TSC TDP-247 Legacy & Replacement GuideTDP-247 Parallel-Port Users
If your existing TDP-247 communicates through a parallel printer port, do not assume the DH240T is a plug-and-play replacement. This DH240T configuration provides USB, RS-232 serial, Ethernet and USB Host instead of parallel.
Confirm that your POS, ERP, warehouse, inventory or label-printing application can move to USB, serial or Ethernet before replacing a parallel-connected TDP-247.
What Labels Does the TSC DH240T Use?
The DH240T uses compatible direct thermal label stock. Before ordering labels, confirm label width, length, roll diameter, core diameter, gap/black-mark sensing requirements, adhesive type, and software template dimensions.
Shop barcode and label media or contact ShopPOSPortal if you need help matching existing labels to the DH240T.
Compatibility Before Ordering
Compatibility depends on your POS software, operating system, connection type, drivers, accessories, and configuration. Confirm compatibility before ordering.

The TSC DH240T DH240-A001-1001 is a strong current-generation choice for businesses that need fast 203 dpi direct thermal desktop label printing with USB, RS-232 serial, Ethernet and USB Host connectivity. It combines up to 8 ips printing, a 4.25-inch maximum print width, substantial onboard memory and a color LCD in a compact desktop platform.
It is also particularly important for businesses replacing the discontinued TSC TDP-247, because TSC identifies the DH240 Series as the replacement family.
If your existing TDP-247 uses a parallel connection, or if you are uncertain about label media, software, printer language or connectivity, confirm compatibility before ordering.
