improve customer satisfaction.
The TVS-E LP 46 Dlite is a compact thermal
barcode and label printer purpose-built for point-of-sale and light-duty retail
environments. Designed for Indian business conditions — where space, budget,

1. TVS-E LP 46 Dlite — Product Overview
The TVS-E LP 46 Dlite is a direct thermal
label printer — meaning it prints using heat rather than ink or toner,
eliminating the cost and hassle of ribbons for everyday label printing. Its
slim profile, USB connectivity, and plug-and-play setup make it the go-to
choice for small retailers, pharmacies, and boutiques that need reliable label
output without complexity.

3. Key Features & Benefits
✔ Direct Thermal Printing — No Ribbon Required
Unlike thermal transfer printers, the LP 46
Dlite uses heat-sensitive paper so there is no ribbon to buy, load, or replace.
This dramatically lowers your per-label cost and simplifies maintenance — ideal
for high-turnover retail counters.
✔ Ultra-Compact
Desktop Form Factor
Measuring roughly 140 × 195 × 155 mm and
weighing just 1 kg, the LP 46 Dlite fits comfortably on any counter, billing
desk, or pharmacy window — even in cramped spaces.
✔ Plug-and-Play
USB Connectivity
Connect via USB 2.0 and it is recognised
instantly by Windows 7 through 11. Drivers are included; setup takes under five
minutes. No IT specialist required.
✔ High Print Speed
— Up to 127 mm/s
Print up to 5 labels per second, keeping
queues moving at busy POS counters and packing stations without bottlenecks.
✔ 203 dpi
Resolution for Clear Barcodes
Produces crisp 1D and 2D barcodes (Code 128,
EAN-13, QR Code, and more) that scan reliably on the first attempt — reducing
checkout errors and returns.
✔ Wide Media
Compatibility
Supports label widths from 19 mm to 80 mm and
continuous rolls up to 2,000 mm long, covering product price labels, courier
waybills, pharmacy stickers, and restaurant order tickets.
✔ Reliable Indian
Power Compatibility
Auto-switching 100–240 V power supply handles
India's variable electricity supply without the need for an external
stabiliser.

of Ownership

consumable costs are limited to thermal label rolls — widely available and
inexpensive across India.
