According to Doug Waldal, product manager, Brady Worldwide, Inc., the TLS PC Link creates labels efficiently and accurately as a desktop or portable printer. The unit also has the smallest footprint in its class and weighs a mere 2.5 lbs. For users looking for an affordable, versatile, low to medium volume thermal-transfer-labeling solution, the TLS PC Link is a must have, explains Waldal. This system offers the best print quality available in a printer package of its size and is one of the easiest to use and integrate systems available in the marketplace. What truly makes the TLS PC Link unique is that it can be used as a desktop or portable unit, depending on the users needs. And, whether it is stationary, belt-worn, cart-carried or hand-held, the printer delivers the same high quality. The dual functionality of the TLS PC Link is perfect for users who label items in multiple locations or have space constraints present in their work environment.
The TLS PC Link labeling system’s advanced features reduce time and material waste for the end-user. Brady’s patented Smart Cell Technology automatically identifies label size and printer settings, so calibration and printer set up are not required. Not only are labels cut quickly and cleanly with the built-in industrial cutter, the printer then automatically re-registers the settings. For added convenience, the ribbon cartridge system allows end-users to replace a ribbon in seconds and eliminates complicated ribbon threading. In addition, upgradeable firmware protects the technology investment. Lastly, a three button operation and LED status indicator allows for easy operation and enables the user to view printer status.
The TLS PC Link’s standard accessories include the printer, an AC power supply, LabelMark Labeling Software, Windows print drivers, Communications Cable and Brady’s built-in programming language (BPL). A rechargeable battery pack, built-in industrial cutter, ribbon, sample role of labels, belt carrying-strap, quick start guide, user’s manuals, programmer’s guide and cleaning card are also standard with the system. According to Waldal, the included Windows print drivers allow the unit to print labels from both LabelMark and Codesoft software, or any Windows software application available. In addition, the printer has its own printer control language, allowing the unit to be integrated with a piece of equipment and precisely printing labels wherever and whenever they are needed.
