Built-in networking

The professional and reliable method of connecting label printers is typically via a
network, and the TD-4100N incorporates a 10/100 Base TX network port as standard.
By giving the opportunity to locate the label printer away from the PC, you have the
advantage of being able to place the label printer wherever your labels are required.
And of course, networking offers the ability for any number of users or computers to
print their labels to the same label printer. If many copies of labels are required quickly,
the "distributed printing" function (found in the printer driver) will automatically send
the print job to two or more connected printers - thereby increasing throughput. As
an example, if two TD-4100N label printers are set up for distributed printing and 10
copies of a label are required, the driver will automatically send five labels to one printer,
and five labels to another.
By connecting the TD-4100N to a nearby network point, the machine can be sited wherever the labels are required
