TSC OP-COM-0003 Standalone Keyboard Unit
Overview
The TSC OP-COM-0003 is a standalone keyboard unit built to decouple print-job entry from the printer itself. Deploy it when your operators need to build label batches, queue prints, or adjust settings from a remote station—without tying up the main printer console. The color LCD display provides real-time feedback on job status and system state, reducing downtime from manual label adjustments in warehouse, logistics, and light-manufacturing environments where label throughput matters.
Compatibility
The OP-COM-0003 integrates with TSC thermal transfer and direct thermal label printer platforms (MB240, MB340, MB240T, MB340T series). Verify your printer model supports external keyboard control via RS-232, WiFi, or Bluetooth before ordering—some older TSC models may require firmware updates. The unit operates across -40°C to 60°C storage and 5°C to 40°C operating temperature, making it suitable for unheated warehouse areas and temperature-controlled production floors.
Installation Notes
Connect via RS-232 serial cable (standard 9-pin D-sub), WiFi 802.11 (if equipped), or Bluetooth pairing—check your printer's interface options before purchase. The keyboard draws 90W at 24V DC via dedicated power supply; ensure a grounded outlet is within cable reach of your keyboard placement. Ambient humidity must stay between 25–85% non-condensing during operation to prevent LCD fogging and connector corrosion. Store the unit in a clean, dry environment (10–90% non-condensing) when not in use to extend sensor and display lifespan.
