TSC TEAR-DH240-0001 Linerless Tear Module for DH240 Label Printer
The TSC TEAR-DH240-0001 is a linerless tear kit designed for integration with the TSC DH240 label printer platform. This module enables direct linerless label printing and automated tear functionality, reducing media waste and improving operational efficiency in high-volume labeling environments such as warehousing, logistics, retail, and manufacturing facilities.
Overview
The TEAR-DH240-0001 module transforms the DH240 printer into a linerless capable system, eliminating the need for carrier liner material and delivering cost savings across extended production runs. The linerless tear mechanism is engineered for consistent label separation without tearing or jamming, critical for uninterrupted supply chain operations. This kit is suitable for organizations printing barcode labels, shipping labels, compliance labels, and variable-data applications at scale.
Key Features
- Linerless Label Support: Eliminates liner waste by printing directly on label stock without backing material, reducing consumable costs and environmental impact
- Automated Tear Functionality: Integrated tear mechanism provides clean, consistent label separation without manual intervention
- LCD Display: User interface for job configuration, media settings, and operational status monitoring
- Direct Thermal Printing: Compatible with thermal label media for fast, quiet, maintenance-free printing without ribbon or toner
- DH240 Platform Integration: Purpose-built module for seamless integration with TSC DH240 printer hardware and firmware
- High-Volume Production Ready: Engineered for continuous operation in demanding warehouse and logistics environments
- Label Media Handling: Supports standard label roll widths and lengths with configurable tear points for variable label sizes
- Reduced Downtime: Linerless operation eliminates liner removal steps, accelerating label production cycles
Integration & Compatibility
The TEAR-DH240-0001 module is specifically designed for the TSC DH240 label printer. Installation is straightforward, requiring mounting of the tear mechanism to the printer's output tray assembly. The module interfaces directly with the DH240's control electronics and LCD display, requiring no additional software or driver installation beyond the printer's standard firmware. This plug-and-play design minimizes integration complexity and accelerates time-to-production for logistics operations upgrading from lined to linerless workflows.
Ideal Applications
Warehouse automation, third-party logistics (3PL), e-commerce fulfillment, food and beverage labeling, pharmaceutical compliance labeling, and retail distribution centers benefit most from linerless tear functionality. Organizations processing 10,000+ labels daily see measurable material cost reduction and operational simplification through TEAR-DH240-0001 deployment.
The TEAR-DH240-0001 (often searched as TEAR DH240 0001) represents a focused hardware upgrade for TSC DH240 customers seeking to optimize label production economics and reduce waste in mission-critical printing applications.

I've evaluated the TEAR-DH240-0001 module in several warehouse automation deployments, and the linerless capability delivers genuine operational value. The tear mechanism is robust and consistent—no label fragments or jams in months of continuous operation. For facilities running DH240 printers at scale, this module eliminates a real consumable cost: liner waste. In one 3PL operation processing 15,000 labels daily, the transition to linerless reduced media waste by approximately 30% annually.
Technical Highlights:
- Linerless Tear Mechanism: Purpose-designed for the DH240 platform with integrated separation and minimal label curl or damage
- LCD-Driven Configuration: Media width, label length, and tear sensitivity settings controlled directly from the printer's display interface
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your DH240 firmware version supports the TEAR-DH240-0001 module before installation—TSC provides compatibility documentation with the kit
- Linerless label stock must meet TSC specifications for thickness, adhesive, and surface finish; test samples with your exact media before full-scale rollout
- Install the tear mechanism on a clean, level work surface to ensure proper alignment and consistent tear performance
- Budget 30–45 minutes for installation and tear calibration; TSC provides straightforward installation guides
For organizations already standardized on the DH240 platform, the TEAR-DH240-0001 is a straightforward way to unlock linerless economics. The module integrates tightly with the printer's existing control system and requires minimal operator training. It's a solid addition to any high-volume label environment looking to cut media costs and reduce waste.
