Product Overview
The TCP300II and TCP400 are rewritable thermal card printers designed for erasing and re-printing on thermochromic and Leuco cards, and for adding marks on one-time thermal cards.

Key points

• Fast erase and re-print cycle
• Multiple interfaces: USB and RS-232C (LAN optional)
• Supports various thermal card types including 760 µm Leuco

Features
Fast erase and re-print
Erases and re-prints Leuco rewritable cards in approximately 3 seconds (TCP300II), enabling high throughput at point of service.
Multiple interfaces
Standard USB and RS-232C interfaces. Optional LAN connectivity available by installing an optional LAN card via cartridge change for networked operation.
Support for thermal card types
Rewritable cards (thermochromic/Leuco): erase and re-print. One-time thermal cards: can add markings such as stamps or validation marks.

Dimensions (mm)
External dimensions: 119(W) × 270.5(D) × 132.5(H) mm. See illustration for detailed measurements.

Other details
Flexibility
Magnetic stripe data capture supported. Shared command set between TCP300II and TCP400 simplifies switching between card types. TCP400 supports full-size re-printing for standard 760 µm Leuco cards. Precise heat control enables complete erasure and clear re-printing.
User-friendly
Includes demo software and supports system integration. Raster driver allows printing from standard applications. Front cover opens with a two-action mechanism for easy maintenance.
