Frequently Asked Questions - ML240 TSC
How do I load labels into the TSC ML240?
Open the top cover, release the media holder, insert the label roll with the outer wound outwards, adjust the media guides to fit, and route the labels through the paper path. Close the cover and press the feed button to calibrate.
How do I install the ribbon for thermal transfer printing?
Ensure the ribbon unwind and rewind are correctly aligned. Insert the ribbon core onto the supply spindle, route it along the print head, and attach to the take-up spindle. Turn the spindle gently to remove slack. Close the print head assembly.
The printer is not printing properly. What should I check?
First, check that the printer is powered on and connected. Ensure the media and ribbon (if used) are loaded correctly. Verify the print darkness and speed settings in the driver. Clean the print head with a soft cloth and alcohol. If issues persist, recalibrate the printer via the self-test menu.
How do I perform a self-test or print a configuration label?
Press and hold the feed button while turning on the printer. Continue holding until the status LED blinks, then release. A configuration label will print showing current settings, firmware version, and sensor status.
How can I set up the printer for wireless printing?
Install the optional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module. For Wi-Fi, use TSC's configuration utility or the printer's web interface (if equipped) to connect to your network. For Bluetooth, pair with your device following the module's instructions. Ensure drivers are installed.
What types of labels can the ML240 print?
The ML240 supports continuous, die-cut, and fanfold labels, as well as tags and receipts. It can handle a wide range of materials including paper, synthetic, and polyester labels, provided they are within the specified width and thickness.
How do I clean the print head and platen roller?
Turn off the printer and open the cover. Use a cleaning pen or cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the print head surface. For the platen roller, rotate it while wiping with a lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol. Wait for the alcohol to dry before closing.
The printer is skipping labels. How do I fix this?
Ensure the label gap sensor is clean and properly positioned. Perform an auto-calibration (press and hold feed button while powering on, or use software). Check that the label size settings in the driver match the actual label dimensions. If using die-cut labels, verify the gap between labels is consistent.
Can I use continuous roll without gaps?
Yes, the ML240 can print on continuous media. Set the media type to 'continuous' in the printer driver or via commands. The printer will not rely on gap sensing but will use label length settings. Ensure the peel-off or cutter options are configured appropriately.
Where can I find the user manual and software?
The user manual is included in the package as a printed copy and can be downloaded from TSC's official website. Software like TSC Console, driver, and label design programs (e.g., Bartender) are available on the TSC support page. Search for 'TSC ML240' to find downloads.
