For a versatile and dependable operation, the handy mobile printers of the TDM series come with the TSC Mobile Utility App which provides a set of tools enabling mobile configuration and management of the printers as well as web-based printing tasks via iOS or Android. An OPOS and SDK software pack provides the framework for a seamless integration into existing systems and ensures smooth communication between PCs, mobile devices or POS terminals and the printers. It includes driver support for OPOS, Windows, Android and iOS. Supported printer languages are TSPL-EZD (EPL2, ZPL2, DPL), ESC-POS or CPCL.
