Why the TE210

Labels with or without a ribbon, on your network

The TE210 is the 203 dpi model of TSC's TE200 Series; the TE310 is the same printer at 300 dpi. TSC places the TE210 and TE310 above the entry TE200 and TE300: they add Ethernet, RS-232 and USB host, more memory and a real-time clock. TSC India names the TE200 Series as the replacement for the TTP-244 Pro.

Two print methods in one printer

Print thermal transfer with a ribbon for labels that must last, or direct thermal without one for shipping and short-life labels. TSC lists continuous, die-cut, black-mark, fan-fold and notched media, 20 to 112 mm wide.

Network and serial ports built in

USB 2.0, Ethernet 10/100, RS-232 and a USB host for a scanner or PC keyboard are standard. TSC offers Bluetooth 5.0 or Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with Bluetooth 5.0 as dealer options, and MFi Bluetooth 5.0 as a factory option.

Long or short ribbons

It takes 300 m ribbons on a 1-inch core or 110 m ribbons on a 0.5-inch core, 40 to 110 mm wide. Longer ribbons mean fewer changes on a busy desk.

Keeps your existing label formats

Formats written in EPL, ZPL, ZPL II or DPL for many existing desktop printers usually run on the TE210 unchanged, because TSC's TSPL-EZD firmware is compatible with those languages. Print one test label before a rollout.

Memory and clock for stored formats

128 MB Flash and 64 MB SDRAM hold fonts, graphics and stored formats, and the real-time clock prints dates and times without a PC.

Cutter or peeler when you need it

TSC offers a guillotine cutter (full cut and partial cut) and a peel-off module as dealer options, plus an external mount for 214 mm (8.4 in) rolls.

Used in

  • Manufacturing
  • Transportation & Logistics
  • Retail
  • Warehouse

For buyers in India

Using the TE210 in India

These are the points buyers in India ask us about the TE210. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

Use a ribbon for MRP and batch labels that must last

For MRP, batch and date lines that must stay readable, print them thermal transfer with a ribbon on the TE210. Ask us to set up those lines in your label format and print test labels on your roll and ribbon.

Print 4 × 6 inch courier labels in about a second

The TE210 prints up to 108 mm wide on media up to 112 mm wide, so a 4 × 6 inch (101.6 × 152.4 mm) courier label fits. At 152.4 mm/s (6 ips) one such label takes about 1 s. Use direct thermal labels for courier dispatch and keep the ribbon for product labels.

Keep it below 40 °C

TSC rates the TE210 to run from 5 °C to 40 °C at 25-85% humidity, non-condensing. Keep it out of direct sun and hot, unventilated stockrooms.

Protect it from power cuts with a UPS

The TE210 runs from an external supply rated AC 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, giving DC 24 V, 2.5 A (60 W). On a site with frequent cuts or voltage swings, plug it into a UPS or stabiliser.

Exploring for a different use?

If your job differs from what the TE210 is built for, these TSC models may fit it better:

  • Buyers who print small text or small QR and Data Matrix codes often look at the TSC TE310 (300 dpi, up to 5 ips, same body, ribbons and ports).
  • Buyers who print only shipping and receiving labels at one PC often look at the TSC DA210 (direct thermal only, no ribbon; USB 2.0 with a Bluetooth option).

Questions buyers ask

TE210 FAQ

What is the price of the TSC TE210 in India?

The TE210 price depends on the options you add and the quantity. We can quote the labels and ribbon with it. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

TE210 or TE310: which should we choose?

They are the same printer at two resolutions. The TE210 prints at 203 dpi, up to 152.4 mm/s (6 ips) and up to 108 mm wide. The TE310 prints at 300 dpi, up to 127 mm/s (5 ips) and up to 105.7 mm wide. Choose the TE310 for small text and small QR or Data Matrix codes; choose the TE210 for shipping, shelf and warehouse labels.

We use a TSC TTP-244 Pro. Is the TE210 its replacement?

Yes. TSC India lists the last sale of the TTP-244 Pro on 31 December 2026, with support to 31 December 2031, and names the TE200 Series as its replacement. The TE210 is the 203 dpi model of that series with Ethernet, RS-232 and USB host built in. Send us a label your TTP-244 Pro prints today when you ask for a quote.

TE210 or DA210: do we need a ribbon?

The TE210 prints with a ribbon (thermal transfer) or without one (direct thermal). Direct thermal suits shipping and short-life labels; for labels that must last, ask for thermal transfer and we quote the ribbon with it. The DA210 prints direct thermal only and connects over USB, with Bluetooth as an option.

Can the TE210 print over our network or Wi-Fi?

Yes on a wired network: Ethernet 10/100 is standard, with USB 2.0, RS-232 and USB host. For Wi-Fi, TSC offers an 802.11 a/b/g/n with Bluetooth 5.0 combo module as a dealer option, so ask for it in the same quotation.

Which labels and ribbons does the TE210 take?

Media 20 to 112 mm wide and 0.06 to 0.19 mm thick, on rolls up to 127 mm (5 in) across with 25.4 to 38 mm cores, or fan-folded. Ribbons are 40 to 110 mm wide, 300 m on a 1-inch core or 110 m on a 0.5-inch core, ink coated outside. Send us your label and ribbon sizes with the quote request.

Will our existing label formats work on the TE210?

Usually. TSC's TSPL-EZD firmware is compatible with EPL, ZPL, ZPL II and DPL, so formats written for many existing desktop printers print without a redesign. Tell us which software prints your labels, and print one test label before a rollout.

Can Allmark install the TE210 and connect it to our software?

Yes. We install the TE210 at your site, connect it so your ERP, warehouse or billing software prints to it (our own warehouse management system included) and train the people who use it. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
