Brother TD 2 Printer Series

The Brother TD 2 Series, also referred to in the supplied material as the TD 2300 Series, is a compact 2-inch direct thermal desktop printer family designed for labels, tags, receipts and wristbands. It is built for businesses that need reliable, flexible and space-efficient printing for retail, warehouse, manufacturing and food service workflows. The series is positioned around practical flexibility. Different models offer different connectivity, display, control and accessory options, allowing users to choose a configuration that fits their workflow, available space and existing systems. The range includes the TD-2310D, TD-2320D, TD-2350D and TD-2350DSA. The TD 2 Series uses direct thermal print technology. This means it does not use a ribbon, making it suitable for thermal labels, tags, receipt media, wristbands and other direct thermal supplies. It is best suited for labels and printed items where direct thermal media is appropriate, such as product labels, shelf-edge labels, food labels, box labels, pick labels, barcode labels, bin labels and online order labels. The series supports 203 dpi printing, and selected models are available in 203 dpi or 300 dpi versions. The 203 dpi versions are suitable for general-purpose label, tag and receipt printing where speed and readability are the main priorities. The 300 dpi versions are better suited when sharper text, smaller barcodes, compact product labels or more detailed output is required. Maximum print speed is listed as up to 6 ips. Maximum print width is 2.32 inches / 59 mm, maximum print length is 118.1 inches / 3000 mm and minimum print length is 0.25 inches / 6.4 mm. Media width ranges from 0.59 inches to 2.48 inches / 15 mm to 63 mm, with media thickness from 0.058 mm to 0.279 mm. The printers support receipt media, labels, tags and wristbands. Media handling depends on the model. The TD-2310D supports continuous and tear-off operation. The higher models support continuous, tear-off, cutter and peeler options. Optional accessories include cutter, peeler, battery base, battery, tablet holder, battery charger, serial adapter, AC adapter and healthcare adapter, depending on model. The TD-2310D is the entry model in the series. It offers USB, USB Host and RS232C Serial connectivity. It is a practical choice when a simple, compact direct thermal printer is needed for local or serial-connected printing. It uses three LEDs and three buttons for user interaction and does not include a display. The TD-2320D adds Ethernet / LAN connectivity to the USB, USB Host and serial interface set. This makes it suitable for networked desktop printing in stores, warehouses, production areas or food service locations. It is available in 203 dpi and 300 dpi variants and includes improved management and network protocol support compared with the entry model. The TD-2350D adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity in addition to USB, USB Host, serial and Ethernet. It is the better choice where wireless deployment, mobile workflows or flexible placement are important. It supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.2, including Bluetooth Low Energy and MFi support. This makes it relevant for environments using mobile devices, tablets or wireless infrastructure. The TD-2350DSA is the most advanced model group in the supplied series. It includes the same broad connectivity as the TD-2350D, with USB, serial, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It adds a more advanced user interface with a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen and a 24-key numeric keypad. This makes it better suited to workflows where local printer interaction, on-device selection or more direct operator input is required. The control interface varies significantly by model. The TD-2310D uses three LEDs and three buttons. Networked and higher models include three LEDs, seven buttons and LCD support with 14 languages, while the DSA model group adds a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen and 24-key numeric keypad. This model separation is important when recommending the right configuration: simple local printing can use the TD-2310D, while more operator-driven workflows may benefit from the TD-2350DSA. The series is compact and suitable for limited counter, shelf or workstation space. The TD-2310D and TD-2320D measure 119 mm × 224 mm × 158 mm. The TD-2350D and TD-2350DSA measure 119 mm × 224 mm × 176 mm. Weight ranges from 1.46 kg to 1.77 kg depending on model. Threaded inserts for tablet mounting and secure mounting are available on higher models, supporting more integrated workstation setups. Durability is a key part of the TD 2 Series positioning. The printers include IP4x sealing protection and use sealed LCD/keypad elements and sturdy metal parts to help prevent damage from spills and improve durability. This makes the series more robust than a basic office label printer while remaining compact enough for desktop use. The TD 2 Series supports auto media detection for width, length and sensor type. Sensor support includes gap transmissive sensing and black mark reflective sensing, with fixed gap sensor location and adjustable black mark sensor location. This helps simplify media setup and supports different label and tag formats. The printer language and emulation support is broad for a compact desktop range. Printer languages include P-touch Template 2.0, raster and ESC/P. Emulations include ZPL, EPL, DPL and CPCL. This helps integrate the printers into existing systems and label workflows where common printer command languages are already in use. Internal font and barcode support is also extensive. Linear barcode support includes CODE 39, ITF, EAN/JAN 8 and 13, UPC-A/E, CODABAR, CODE 128, GS1-128, GS1 DataBar and Composite, CODE93, POSTNET, MSI and Intelligent Mail Barcode. 2D barcode support includes QR Code, Micro QR, Maxicode, PDF417, MicroPDF417, Data Matrix and Aztec. The series supports Windows 10 and 11, Linux, Android and iOS. Driver support is listed for Windows and Linux. SDK support includes Windows bPAC and Android 9. Brother support tools include Brother Printer Setting Tool, while device management options include Brother BRAdmin Device Management and SOTI on supported models. Mobile apps listed in the supplied material include Smooth Print, Mobile Deploy, Mobile Transfer Express and Print SDK Demo. Label design and integration tools mentioned for the series include Brother P-touch Editor, BarTender, Loftware Cloud, Codesoft and MarkMagic. This makes the TD 2 Series suitable for businesses that need either simple label creation or integration into broader enterprise labelling environments. Power is supplied by an external AC adapter with input 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 1.5 A and output 24 V DC, 3.6 A. Selected models support an optional battery system. The optional battery is listed as 14.4 V, 1750 mAh, 26 Wh, with charging directly in the battery base or via an optional single-slot charger. Battery charging time is listed up to 2.2 hours.

Extended warranty service can be added while the printer is still under warranty, with a maximum total coverage period of 5 years including standard and extended warranty. Overall, the Brother TD 2 Series is a flexible 2-inch direct thermal desktop printer family for businesses that need reliable label, tag, receipt and wristband printing in compact spaces.
