4.3 Direct Thermal vs. Thermal Transfer Printing

The TE200 supports two printing methods:

• Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens when heated. Ideal for short-term labeling applications where labels are not exposed to harsh physical or environmental conditions (e.g., receipts, temporary shipping labels).
• Thermal Transfer: Uses a ribbon that melts ink onto the label material. This method produces more durable and long-lasting labels, suitable for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, high heat, or direct sunlight (e.g., product labels, asset tracking).

5. Viðhald

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your TSC TE200 printer.

• Þrif á prenthaus: Periodically clean the print head with an alcohol-based cleaning wipe designed for thermal printers. Ensure the printer is off and cooled down before cleaning.
• Þrif á plötuvalsinum: Clean the platen roller with a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to remove any adhesive residue or dust.
• Rykhreinsun: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from the interior of the printer.
• Skipti á miðlum: Replace label rolls and ribbons as needed to prevent printing interruptions and maintain print quality.

Always refer to the detailed cleaning instructions in your Setup Installation Guide for specific procedures.
