PEX-2000 Series Print Engine:

The 4-inch PEX-2000 Print Engines easily integrate into any label applicator for smooth daily operations, reducing integration effort and speeding up time-to-market.

The PEX-2000 is highly compatible with hardware and software for easy integration. It supports DB15 and DB25 interfaces and major printer brands’ GPIO emulations. The customizable printer language firmware supports major printer languages so template commands and print files can remain the same.

The PEX-2000 is reliable for 24/7 operations, compact to meet space constraints, and is easy to service. From its angle-adjustable peel-off module, advanced sensor design, durable TPH, to optional RFID and Ribbon Saver, the PEX-2000 provides precise functionality and future-proof technology. It delivers high imprint accuracy for labels with a minimum of 5mm length and printing deviation within ±0.4mm. It’s also compatible with the remote printer management tools, TSC Console and SOTI Connect.

PEX-1000 Series Print Engine:

TSC's Innovative Print Engine is easy to use, easy to integrate, and easy to service

The innovative PEX Series 4-inch Performance Print Engine incorporates a robust die-cast construction designed for years of reliability, ease of use, and cost-conscious serviceability. The PEX Series combines a precision print mechanism with high performance electronics to produce labels at up to 18 inches per second. In addition, the PEX Series supports 203, 300, and 600 dpi resolutions for all of your label formatting needs.

Designed for ease of integration, the PEX Series features a bolt-compatible construction with a commonly used GPIO interface and an easy to use color display. The PEX Series offers simple integration into both new and existing label application installations. It is ideal for manufacturing and logistic applications where high speed and high demand label printing is required.

PEX-1000 Highlights: 

Rugged Design

Rugged design with die-casting structure ensures stable media path for outstanding print quality and accuracy and the powerful peel-off capability fits various label width, particularly for small label.

High Performance

The PEX Series can print high quality labels at 18 inches per second, one of the fastest speeds on the market. With the high precision label positioning, it can print labels as small as 5 mm in height. It offers multiple connectivity options including USB, GPIO, parallel, serial, Ethernet, USB host and optional 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless and Bluetooth 4.0 module.

Is there any way that I can reboot my printer and return to default settings?
Way 1: Printer > Menu > Advanced > Initialization. Way 2: TSC Console > Select the printer > Functions > Printer Configuration > Factory Default.
What should I know before using the printer to print the labels?
1. Let your computer detect the printer or manually install the driver first. 2. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected. (wired connection user)
Why can't the driver wizard find my device? (USB interface)
1. Switch off the power and turn on again. 2. Computer might have detected the device already.
Why can't the printer detect the media type after calibration?
1. Media should be loaded and located correctly before calibration (check if the media is above the sensor) 2. Wrong media type might have been used.
Why can’t I use printer through Ethernet?
Please make sure the Ethernet cable and the printer are well connected and lights are flashing.
Why is my Bartender unable to print the label?
1. Check that the printer is powered on. 2. Check that the driver is correct. 3. Check that the printer and port is correct.
Why is there a wrinkle on my printout?
1. Inspect the print head mechanism and make sure the pressure is even. 2. Use the correct ribbon and the ribbon’s width should not be much wider than the label.
