Brother TD-2310D 2-inch Direct Thermal Desktop Label Printer, 203 dpi, 152 mm/s, USB-C, Black

The Brother TD-2310D is a 2-inch desktop label printer that prints by direct thermal at 203 dpi and up to 152.4 mm/s (6 ips), made for product, price and small shelf labels, specimen and asset labels, and narrow receipts up to about 60 mm wide.

It connects over USB 2.0 (Type-C), RS-232C (RJ25, adapter needed). ZPL, EPL, DPL and CPCL emulation let it take over from other brands' printers without rewriting label formats. It is a compact, single-user or workgroup printer for counters, packing benches, back offices and small warehouses rather than a 24/7 industrial line printer.

In practice it sits between a PC or POS terminal and a roll of labels: you design labels in label software such as BarTender, or print them straight from your ERP, WMS, e-shop back office or courier portal. Label size, gap and darkness are set once in the driver or by a quick media calibration, and after that every print lands in the same place on the label.

• Brother TD-2 series printer
• AC adapter and power cord
• USB cable
• Printed setup guide
• No labels — media is ordered separately

• Labels from 15–63 mm (wristbands 15–36 mm) wide on rolls up to 127 mm outside diameter — typical 25 to 58 mm product labels and 58 mm receipt rolls fit; 100 mm shipping labels do not.
• At up to 152.4 mm/s (6 ips) a 50 mm long label prints in roughly 0.3 seconds, so batches of a few hundred labels are a matter of minutes.
• With USB 2.0 (Type-C), RS-232C (RJ25, adapter needed) only, it prints from the PC it is cabled to; to use it from several PCs, share it from that PC or choose the network version.
• No ribbon to buy or change: running cost is the labels only, and loading a new roll takes seconds.
• With the optional battery and base it unplugs from the wall and moves to a ward, shop floor or goods-in door: about 13,000 labels (50 × 30 mm) per full charge.

• Media wider than 63 mm or rolls larger than 127 mm outside diameter.
• Ribbons and thermal transfer-only labels — this model has no ribbon mechanism.
• Colour printing, photos or ordinary A4 office printing — it prints one colour (black) on label media.
• Network or wireless printing — the TD-2310D is USB-C (plus serial via adapter); for LAN choose the TD-2320D.
• Serial connection without Brother's adapter cable — the RS-232C port is an RJ25 socket.
