TSC TH240R 4-Inch Desktop UHF RFID Barcode Printer, 203 dpi, USB/Ethernet/Serial (TH240R-A001-0001)
SKU:TH240R-A001-0001
The TSC TH240R (part number TH240R-A001-0001) is a 4-inch desktop RFID barcode printer from TSC's TH Series. It prints 203 dpi labels by thermal transfer or direct thermal at up to 8 inches per second and encodes RAIN UHF RFID tags while it prints, for uses such as retail item labels, shipping and warehouse labeling.
Key features
- Print and encode in one pass: TSC's Encode During Print function writes RAIN UHF passive tags (GS1 EPC Gen2 v2 / ISO 18000-63) as labels print.
- RFID auto calibration: a calibration routine feeds three labels to set the encoding position and power levels, and an RFID label counter tracks good and bad labels.
- Thermal transfer and direct thermal: 203 dpi at up to 8 in/sec with a 4.25 in (108 mm) maximum print width.
- Wide media range: 0.59 in to 4.72 in (15 mm to 120 mm) media and 5 in (127 mm) OD label rolls.
- Wired connectivity: Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), USB 2.0, USB host and RS-232 serial, with optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.
- Printer management: embedded web page, virtual control panel, TSC Console and SOTI Connect (license required), with HTTPS, SNMPv3 and 802.1X support.

Frequently asked questions
What RFID tags can the TSC TH240R RFID printer encode?
The TH240R encodes RAIN UHF passive tags that follow GS1 EPC Gen2 v2 / ISO 18000-63. TSC states that the TH240 supports a wide range of UHF inlays and labels and keeps a sample listing in the support section of its website. Minimum label or tag pitch is 0.625 in (15.9 mm).
How do I set up the TH240R for different RFID labels?
Run the RFID label calibration in the printer's RFID menu. The calibration feeds three labels to determine the optimal encoding position and power levels.
What connections does this TSC barcode RFID printer have?
Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), USB 2.0, USB host and RS-232 serial are standard. TSC offers a Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.0 combo module and a Bluetooth 5.0 module as dealer options, and MFi Bluetooth 5.0 as a factory option.
Can the TH240R print labels formatted in other printer languages?
Yes. TSPL-EZD firmware automatically recognizes EPL, ZPL, ZPL II and DPL, so existing label templates can print without changes. For RFID encoding, TSC lists TSPL and ZPL.
