TSC SP-PEX-1001-0031 Media Sensor Assembly
Overview
The SP-PEX-1001-0031 is a media sensor assembly for TSC's PEX-1001 series industrial inkjet printers. This component detects label position and media presence, critical functions for consistent label output and preventing media feed errors. The sensor integrates directly into the printer's media path and requires firmware version A2.16 or above for full compatibility across connected (Ethernet/Wi-Fi) and USB operational modes.
Compatibility
The SP-PEX-1001-0031 is certified compatible with the following TSC printer families (firmware A2.16 and above):
- Industrial series: T8000 (V2.60G+), T6000e (V1.42E+), T4000 (V1.46H+) — all support Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Mid-range series: MB241, ML241P, MH241, MX241, TH240/TH220, DH240/DH220 — Ethernet and Wi-Fi enabled.
- Desktop series: T800 (V1.48D+), TX210 — both with Ethernet and Wi-Fi support.
- Print engine: PEX-1001 and PEX-2000 series modules.
Partial compatibility (marked △ in TSC documentation) exists for MB240, ML240, and DA210/TE200/TC210 series, though these may lack Wi-Fi or require USB-only operation; contact regional TSC support to verify your specific firmware version before ordering.
Installation Notes
Replacement requires removal of the existing sensor assembly and mechanical re-alignment with the printer's media path. Verify your printer firmware version against the compatibility table above — older firmware versions will not recognize the sensor. No torque specifications or specialized tools are detailed in TSC documentation; consult your printer's service manual or contact TSC technical support for mechanical alignment tolerances and calibration procedures post-installation.
