305 dpi resolution – Clear advantage in printing 2D codes

The major difference from the TG308 is the higher resolution. What does this mean in practice?

• Better defined QR and DataMatrix codes
• Small text clearer and more legible
• Logos and graphics printed with fine detail
• Reducing scanning errors

In high-volume scanning environments (POS, warehouse, logistics), more accurate printing means fewer interruptions and more efficient workflow.
