The PEX-2000 is highly compatible with hardware and software for easy integration. The printer 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, and optional RFID labeling feature, the PEX-2000 provides precise functionality and future-proof technology. It’s also compatible with remote printer management tools, TSC Console and SOTI Connect.

Seamless Integration into any Print and Apply System

  • With a 14% smaller rear section, the compact footprint makes it easy to maintain and mount to label applicators in any orientation.
  • Supports both 25-pin and 15-pin D-Sub socket connectors and major printer brands GPIO emulations, making integration and replacement easy.
  • Customizable printer language firmware supports major printer languages, eliminating the need to redesign your template commands or print files.

Advanced Performance for Diverse Applications

  • Industry-first adjustable peel-off module in metal supports performance in angles of minus 18-degrees to minus 3-degrees peel off. This flexibility makes applicator integration and scaling up applications easy.
  • The top black mark sensor supports labels with the black mark on the print side, e.g. preprinted labels.
  • The optional RFID encoding module supports emerging applications, such as item-level RFID labeling in apparel. Long distance back-feed enables overstriking bad RFID labels.

Designed to Maximize Uptime

  • Full metal chassis is robust to withstand harsh environments.
  • Mean time between failures (MTBF) is up to 22,000 hours for 24/7 mission-critical operations.
  • A magnetic lock tightly seals the media door under any vibration in any orientation.

Easy to Use and Operate

  • The PEX-2000 media sensors were designed to make media handling and calibration easy with top and bottom sensors. Both sensors can be adjusted to different locations to support various media type setup and calibration. Additionally, the rear label holder cover is simple to release, giving users more space to clean sensors.
  • Wide media handling space makes media installation easier (55mm max.).
  • One push and quick release design makes removal of the printhead and its replacement effortless.
  • After being installed on any print and apply label applicator, the rear chassis can be easily lifted and pulled out in two steps, saving valuable space for repairs and component replacement without taking up additional room on the shop floor.

Remote Printer Management and Monitoring Ensure Continuous Operations

  • Web-based SOTI Connect remote printer management software offers one dashboard for deployment and real-time monitoring of all print engines. IT staff can set up, configure, and update print engines from a single console. Users can also set up rules in the console so that when pre-defined conditions are met, notifications will be sent so that relevant stakeholders can take action.
  • Within the intranet, the on-premise TSC Console remote printer management software enables IT staff to deploy, manage, monitor, and troubleshoot through wired or wireless connections to one or a group of print engines. This ensures that print engines are serviceable at all times. With TSC Sense Care, the TSC Console can monitor TPHs, and track and record the TPH odometer for component replacement.

Can I clone the printer's configuration/firmware or label format to other printers via USB drive in one step?

Yes, you can clone the printer's configuration, firmware or upload label style to a USB flash drive and specify the file name inside. Please contact the TSC Service Center for more information.

Can I customize the logo on the main screen?

 To customize the logo, please contact TSC for more information.

Can I print with labels that have black marks on the print side? (black mark on the top side of the label)

If you want to print with labels that have black marks on the print side, go to Sensor > Black Mark Location and then select Print Side. After finishing the setting, follow the steps described in the User Manual to adjust the position of the top black mark sensor. Please refer to the PEX-2000 User Manual for more information.

Can I replace the media drive module?

Yes. You can easily access the media drive module by just opening the rear cover. You can choose to replace the whole module or only the belt. The replacement takes no more than 15 minutes.

Can I rotate the printer's LCD display 180 degrees?

Yes, users are allowed to rotate the printer's display. The display can be set to 0 degrees (standard) or 180 degrees using the printer's setup menu. To change the direction of the display, go to Menu > Advance > LCD Invert and then select Yes or No based on how you are going to use the printer.

Does the PEX-2000 Series printer support micro labels?

Yes, you can use the front gap sensor to calibrate the micro label. The printer's default gap media sensor setting is on the label holder cover (rear side of the printer), with the green media sensor LED. If you want to use the front gap sensor, go to Sensor > Gap Location and then select Front. You can refer to the PEX-2000 User Manual for more information.

Does the PEX-2000 Series printer support thick RFID labels/tags?

 Yes. To install the thick media (0.9 mm - 1.2 mm), use a tool to lift up the front gap media sensor to facilitate the media installation.

How is the limitation of the media unwind and rewind force?

 Media Unwind Force:

  • In Peel Mode (with liner drawn by the peel roller):
    Applicator media supply steady state tension must be uniform and not exceed 940g (2.0 lbs.) Start/Stop tension transients must not exceed 1840g (4.0 lbs).
  • In Tear Mode (media feed without peeling):
    Media tension not exceed 400g (0.88 lb).

Media Rewind Force:

  • In Peel Mode (with liner drawn by the peel roller):
    Applicator media take-up pull tension must be uniform and not exceed 1840g (4.0 lbs).
