TSC Auto ID, a global provider of quality Auto-ID solutions for transportation and logistics, manufacturing and healthcare, industry and retail, has launched its new mobile barcode printer—the TDM-30.

It is intelligently designed for on-the-go printing. Mobile printing is an excellent solution for any business that needs to print on demand. The TDM-30 is equipped to operate across different platforms with multiple connectivity options. It is lightweight, durable and comes in a flexible design, coupled with ease of operation without compromising with the functionality is very essential for retail & mobile point of sale (MPOS) applications.

The rugged palm-size design of the TDM-30 is built for long-lasting performance and its real-time printer health status provides two important functions like self-diagnostic TPH care mechanism for stable, high-quality printouts and battery management solution (BMS) that effectively monitors the charging status to maximise battery capacity. With the 3080 mAh battery, workers can use the printers for an entire shift without downtime.

The TDM-30 has a wealth of tools that guarantees easy integration into your MPOS system such as; Bluetooth is MFi certified and can be connected with an NFC tag; ESC/POS language is supported and has an OPOS driver for POS systems; a smartphone application for both Android and iOS are available for browser-based applications and Software Development Kits (SDKs) and printer languages are available for all other software integration needs.

The TDM-30 has passed extensive testing– IP rating, drop and tumble tests to maximise its functionality in harsh environments. With an optional protective case, TDM-30 printers are rated IP54 against dust and water for daily tasks. By simulating real-world workplaces for on-the-go mobile workers, the TDM-30 has been certified with a 2.5 m drop test using its protective case, MIL-STD-810G standard drop test and a 1 m tumble test. 

The TDM-30 smart battery option lets you monitor your fleet of batteries for both charge level and number of charge cycles using the Battery Management system found in the TSC Printer Management Utility. This allows you to understand the battery status while in operation and to determine when batteries are aging and need to be replaced. The result is having the right number of batteries with the right charge capacity to keep operations running smoothly.

The TDM-30 not only supports OPOS, but also provides mainstream platform driver support for Windows, Android, iOS and WinCE/Mobile. Having the OPOS/SDKs software pack integrated in to the mobile printer allows users to easily use the library, saving programmers development time and increasing staff productivity. After integration, the customised software can be leveraged, tailored and optimised between POS terminals and printers for port communications, connections and transferring of print commands.
