Fast 4-inch direct thermal labels on a tight counter
The DT 48 is a 4-inch direct thermal desktop label printer from TVS Electronics. It prints 203 dpi at up to 8 ips, 108 mm wide, in a body 175 mm wide and 219 mm deep. USB and Ethernet are built in, with Bluetooth 5.2/BLE as a factory option. TVS lists ZPL-II, TSPL and DPL printer languages.
8 ips at 203 dpi
TVS rates the DT 48 at up to 200 mm/s (8 ips) at 203 dpi, 108 mm (4.25 in) wide, with labels up to 1,296 mm (51 in) long. A busy packing table waits less for each label.
USB and Ethernet built in
USB-B and Ethernet 10/100 Base-T are standard, so the printer can serve one PC or sit on the network. Bluetooth 5.2/BLE is a factory option, so ask for it when you order.
Fits a small counter
TVS gives 175 mm wide, 160 mm high and 219 mm deep, and 1.65 kg. TVS's brochure names counters with little space and tight production set-ups.
Keep your label formats
TVS lists ZPL-II, TSPL and DPL printer languages, so label files made for other printers can often be reused. Send us a sample file and the name of your software, and we check it.
Sensors that find the label
A gap sensor, an adjustable black-mark sensor and a head-open sensor. TVS lists continuous, die-cut, black-mark, fan-fold and notched media, 25.4 to 118 mm wide.
Memory, drivers and label software
A 32-bit RISC CPU with 128 MB flash and 32 MB RAM. TVS's manual covers a Seagull Windows driver, TVS's own Windows driver and BarTender Ultralite for label design.
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the DT 48. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

Prints 4 × 6 courier labels in under 1 second
A 4 × 6 inch label is 101.6 mm wide, inside the 108 mm print width, and 152.4 mm long, so it takes about 0.8 seconds at 200 mm/s. Send us your courier or marketplace label size and we test print it.
Prints QR, EAN-13 and Code 128 labels
TVS's list covers QR Code, EAN-13, Code 128 and DataMatrix: UPI codes, the QR on GST e-invoices, retail barcodes and cartons. Send us your label and we set up the format.
Keep it within 5 °C to 40 °C
TVS's brochure and product page rate it at 5 °C to 40 °C and 25% to 85% humidity, non-condensing, with limits that depend on the media. If it will sit in an uncooled area, tell us; we confirm the rating in your quotation.

About our product information
The DT 48 price depends on the options you add and the quantity. We can quote the labels with it. We do not publish prices: share the model, quantity and city, and we send a written quotation with current pricing and
delivery time, replying within one working day.
Does the DT 48 need a ribbon?
TVS lists the DT 48 as direct thermal in its brochure, its manual and its product specification table, and gives no figures for an ink supply, so plan on direct thermal labels alone. One line on TVS's product page also says thermal transfer; we confirm the print method in your quotation.
Can it print 4 × 6 inch courier labels?
Yes. A 4 × 6 inch label is 101.6 mm wide, and the DT 48 prints up to 108 mm wide on media up to 118 mm wide. At 200 mm/s a 152.4 mm label prints in about 0.8 seconds. Send the label size your courier or marketplace portal produces with your enquiry.
Will our existing ZPL label formats work?
TVS lists ZPL-II, TSPL and DPL, so ZPL label files made for other printers can often be reused. Check any special commands your software sends. Tell us which software prints your labels and send a sample file, and we check it when we quote.
Can it connect to the network or by Bluetooth?
USB-B and Ethernet 10/100 Base-T are standard, so it can sit on your network. Bluetooth 5.2/BLE is a factory option, so ask for it when you order. TVS's product page also lists Wi-Fi as optional, but its brochure and manual do not; tell us if you need Wi-Fi and we confirm with TVS.
Which labels does it take?
Continuous, die-cut, black-mark, fan-fold and notched media, 25.4 to 118 mm wide and 0.06 to 0.25 mm thick, in rolls up to 127 mm across on a 0.5-inch or 1-inch core. Allmark supplies labels; quote them with the printer and tell us your label size.
How does the DT 48 differ from the LP 2461?
The DT 48 is direct thermal, up to 8 ips, and weighs 1.65 kg. TVS's brochure lists the LP 2461 as thermal transfer, up to 6 ips, and it weighs 2.32 kg. Both print 203 dpi and 108 mm wide, and both have USB and Ethernet built in. Tell us how long your labels must last and we suggest one.
Can Allmark install the DT 48 and connect it to our software?
Yes. We install the DT 48 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.
