Key Advantages

The TDP-247 offers a balance between compact size and robust construction ideal for office and industrial environments. Its 203 dpi print resolution ensures high-quality label output suitable for detailed barcode and text printing. The printer supports multiple connectivity options allowing easy network or standalone use. It comes with a metal housing which protects internal components against dust and mechanical damage. The device supports a variety of label sizes and types, enhancing flexibility. Additionally, TSC’s TSPL-EZD programming language ensures compatibility with many existing printer commands and software.

Limitations

The TDP-247 has a limited print speed of up to 5 inches per second, which may not be sufficient for high-volume printing environments. Its maximum print width of 4.25 inches constrains label size options compared to larger industrial printers. The printer's thermal transfer technology requires ribbon replacement, adding maintenance and operational costs. It lacks some modern connectivity options like Wi-Fi which limits wireless printing convenience. The device’s firmware and software may not support some of the latest label design features. Also, the print resolution at 203 dpi while adequate may be insufficient for extremely fine detailed graphics.
