The TSC TE344 is a 4-inch desktop 300 DPI thermal transfer barcode label printer from TSC’s TE Series — designed and built to deliver best-in-class print performance at a competitive price point for small to mid-sized businesses and high-volume desktop printing environments. At 300 DPI (12 dots/mm) with a maximum print speed of 6 inches per second, the TE344 is optimised for applications requiring fine print detail that standard 203 DPI desktop printers cannot reliably reproduce — including small fonts, high-density 2D barcodes, detailed graphics, and compliance labels with sub-millimetre text. Its modular thermal transfer print mechanism, housed in an ABS shell designed for tough environments, is built to produce thousands of clear, crisp labels per day without interruption.
As an authorised supplier of TSC printers and accessories, Hansprintec offers the TE344 alongside a full range of compatible TSC printheads, thermal transfer ribbons, and label media — providing a complete one-stop source for your TSC desktop printing requirements.
300 DPI High Resolution – At 12 dots per millimetre, the TE344 delivers crisp barcodes, fine text, and detailed graphics — ideal for QR codes, Data Matrix codes, pharmaceutical labels, electronics component tags, and any application where 203 DPI output is insufficient.
Dual Printing Modes – Supports both thermal transfer (with ribbon, for durable long-life labels) and direct thermal (without ribbon, for short-life labels and receipts) — providing full media flexibility from a single printer.
6 IPS Print Speed – Maximum print speed of 6 inches per second (152.4mm/s) at 300 DPI — one of the fastest speeds available in a 300 DPI desktop barcode printer, supporting continuous high-volume label output without bottlenecks.
Large Ribbon Capacity – Supports 300-metre ribbons on a 1-inch core, reducing ribbon change frequency and operational interruptions during high-volume print runs.
Clamshell Media Loading – The TE344’s clamshell design allows operators to load media and ribbon quickly and easily without removing the printer from its workstation position, minimising downtime during media changes.
TSPL-EZ Firmware – Built-in TSPL-EZ firmware emulates TPLE and TPLZ printer languages out of the box, enabling compatibility with a wide range of label design software including BarTender, and integration with Oracle, SAP, and most WMS platforms without additional configuration.
ENERGY STAR Qualified – Auto-detectable power supply with ENERGY STAR certification reduces operating costs and supports corporate sustainability requirements.

Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare – The TE344’s 300 DPI resolution is specifically required for pharmaceutical compliance labels where serialisation barcodes, GS1 DataMatrix codes, and small-font dosage and expiry information must remain legible and scan-reliable on labels where space is limited. Patient wristbands, specimen labels, and medical device identification tags all benefit from 300 DPI output.
Electronics and Component Manufacturing – PCB labels, component identification barcodes, and serialisation codes on electronic parts require 300 DPI output to remain scannable at miniature sizes. The TE344 is a standard desktop solution for electronics manufacturing and SMT line labelling applications.
Retail and Jewellery – Fine jewellery tags, cosmetics labels, garment swing tags, and premium retail product labels requiring detailed typography, small fonts, and high-density barcodes depend on 300 DPI resolution for professional brand-quality output that 203 DPI printers cannot reliably reproduce at small format sizes.
Logistics and Inventory – The TE344’s combination of 300 DPI resolution, 6 ips print speed, and large ribbon capacity makes it a capable desktop solution for shipping labels, inventory barcodes, and asset tracking tags in fulfilment and distribution environments where both print speed and label quality are required.
Food and Cosmetics Packaging – Compliance labels for food packaging, cosmetics products, and personal care items with fine regulatory text, ingredient listings, and GS1 barcodes at small label sizes benefit from the TE344’s 300 DPI precision output.
What is the difference between the TSC TE344 and TSC TE244?
The TSC TE344 prints at 300 DPI (12 dots/mm) while the TE244 prints at 203 DPI (8 dots/mm). Both are 4-inch desktop thermal transfer printers with the same clamshell design and interface options. Choose the TE344 when your labels require fine text, small fonts, high-density 2D barcodes, or detailed graphics that 203 DPI cannot reproduce clearly. Choose the TE244 for standard logistics and inventory labels where 203 DPI is sufficient and lower cost per print is the priority.
Does the TSC TE344 support ZPL (Zebra) label formats?
Yes. The TE344’s TSPL-EZ firmware emulates TPLZ (ZPL-compatible) language out of the box, allowing the TE344 to process existing ZPL label formats without reprinting or software reconfiguration in most cases. It also emulates TPLE (EPL-compatible) language for legacy label format compatibility.
Is the TSC TE344 compatible with BarTender and other label software?
Yes. The TSC TE344 is supported by Seagull Scientific True Windows printer drivers and is fully compatible with BarTender label software, as well as most other major label design and print management platforms. Free Windows drivers and label design software are available via download from TSC’s website.
What ribbon size does the TSC TE344 use?
The TE344 supports 300-metre ribbons on a 1-inch (25.4mm) core, or 72–110 metre ribbons on a 0.5-inch (12.7mm) core. Both must be coated-outside ribbon configurations. Contact us for compatible thermal transfer ribbon recommendations for your specific media and application.
Do you offer the TSC TE344 with Ethernet connectivity?
Yes. The TE344 includes USB 2.0 and RS-232 as standard interfaces. Ethernet (10/100 LAN) connectivity is available as an optional upgrade. Contact us when placing your order to confirm the connectivity configuration required.
Do you offer bulk pricing or international export shipping?
Yes. We support single unit and bulk orders with full commercial documentation for international export via DHL, FedEx, and UPS. Contact us for volume pricing and shipping options on the TSC TE344.
