Why the LP 46 Dlite / LP 46 Plus
The LP 46 Dlite and LP 46 Plus are two of TVS Electronics' current 4-inch desktop label printers. Both print at 203 dpi, up to 6 inches per second and up to 108 mm wide. The Dlite prints with a ribbon (thermal transfer); the Plus prints with or without one. The Dlite starts with USB and takes add-on interfaces; the Plus has USB, serial and Ethernet built in and more memory.
The LP 46 Dlite has a USB port as standard. TVS lists an RS-232 serial port, Ethernet, and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (one of the two) as options. The LP 46 Plus has USB 2.0, RS-232 serial and Ethernet as standard, so it can sit on the office network from day one.
Both print at 8 dots/mm (203 dpi) with a maximum print width of 108 mm (4.25 in). TVS rates the Dlite at up to 152 mm/s and the Plus at up to 152.4 mm/s (6 ips). The Dlite prints thermal transfer, always with a ribbon; the Plus prints direct thermal without a ribbon or thermal transfer with one.
Both take ribbons up to 300 m long. The Plus takes 300 m on a 1-inch core (up to 67 mm across) or 110 m on a 0.5-inch core, 40 to 110 mm wide, ink coated outside. The Dlite takes 12.7 mm (0.5-inch) and 25.4 mm (1-inch) ribbon cores.
The Plus has 128 MB flash and 64 MB SDRAM. The Dlite has 16 MB flash (64 MB optional) and 32 MB SDRAM. The Plus has 8 bitmap fonts and a scalable TrueType font engine; the Dlite has 7 bitmap fonts and 1 vector font. Both accept downloaded fonts and graphics.
TVS lists TSPL-EZD on the Plus, compatible with EPL, ZPL, ZPL II and DPL, so label files from other printers can often be reused. TVS's Dlite manual lists two command sets, BPLZ and BPLA, and choosing the matching Windows driver for each.
TVS lists a peel-off module and a guillotine cutter (full cut or partial cut) for the Plus as options; in peel mode it prints up to 3 ips on labels 25.4 to 152.4 mm long. For the Dlite, TVS lists tear-off and rewind output, with peel-off and cutter as options.

For buyers in India
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the LP 46 Dlite / LP 46 Plus. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
Either LP 46 model prints a 4 × 6 inch courier label in about 1 second at 6 ips. The label is 101.6 mm wide, inside the 108 mm print width of both; the Dlite takes media up to 118 mm wide and the Plus up to 112 mm. With a 3 mm gap each label uses 155.4 mm of media. A 300 m ribbon covers about 1,930 such labels; the Plus's 110 m half-inch-core ribbon about 708.
Both LP 46 models print at 8 dots/mm. For retail packs, ask us to set up the MRP, net-quantity and date lines in your label format and print test labels on your roll.
Both models print the QR, EAN-13 and Code 128 symbols Indian labels use. QR Code is used in India for UPI payment codes and the IRN QR on GST e-invoices, and EAN-13 is the retail barcode GS1 India issues. Code 128 serves carton and courier labels; the Plus also lists EAN128 (GS1-128). Both list Data Matrix (GS1 DataMatrix on the Plus) for small labels, such as pharma packs.
For an uncooled godown office, choose the Dlite: TVS rates it for 5-45 °C and 20-90% humidity (at 40 °C), against 5-40 °C and 25-85% humidity, non-condensing, for the Plus. TVS's Dlite manual says not to power on until any condensation has gone. Input is 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz on both, covering India's 230 V supply.

Both print 4-inch labels at 203 dpi and up to 6 ips. The Dlite always prints with a ribbon (thermal transfer); the Plus can also print direct thermal labels without one. Choose the Dlite for one PC or billing counter over USB; TVS lists serial, Ethernet, and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi as add-ons. Choose the Plus when the printer must be shared on the network or fed by a serial device, or when your labels were made for ZPL or EPL printers. Tell us your label size and software when you ask for a quote.
Yes. A 4 × 6 inch label is 101.6 mm wide and both models print up to 108 mm wide. The Dlite takes media up to 118 mm wide and the Plus up to 112 mm. At 6 ips a 4 × 6 label with a 3 mm gap prints in about one second. Send the label size your courier or marketplace portal produces with your enquiry.
TVS lists the LP 46 Plus language as TSPL-EZD, compatible with EPL, ZPL, ZPL II and DPL, so many label files from other brands can be reused; check any special commands your software sends. For the LP 46 Dlite, TVS's manual lists the BPLZ and BPLA command sets and does not state ZPL or EPL compatibility, so tell us which software prints your labels before choosing it.
Both take label rolls up to 127 mm across on a 1-inch or 1.5-inch core, and ribbons up to 300 m long. The Plus takes ribbons 40 to 110 mm wide with the ink on the outside, on a 1-inch core (300 m) or a 0.5-inch core (110 m). The Dlite prints only with a ribbon and takes 0.5-inch and 1-inch ribbon cores. Allmark supplies labels and ribbons; quote them with the printer.
The standard Dlite (TVS item code 3006300005) is the USB version. TVS lists RS-232 serial, Ethernet, and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi as options, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as alternatives rather than both. If you need network printing from day one, the LP 46 Plus has Ethernet and serial as standard. Say which connection you need when you ask for a quote.
For the LP 46 Plus, TVS lists a peel-off module and a guillotine cutter (full cut, or full and partial cut) as options. In peel mode the Plus prints up to 3 ips on labels from 25.4 to 152.4 mm long. For the LP 46 Dlite, TVS lists peel-off and cutter output as options alongside tear-off and rewind. Ask for the option in the same quotation.
