Product Features
Technical Overview
This printhead utilizes direct thermal printing technology, where heat is applied directly to thermal paper to create images without consumables beyond the paper itself. The 203 dots-per-inch resolution provides sufficient detail for standard barcode, text, and basic graphic printing needs in commercial and retail environments.
As an original Brother component, the PA-HU2-002 printhead is manufactured to exact specifications that match the thermal transfer characteristics and mechanical dimensions required by Brother TD-2D Label Printers. This ensures consistent print quality and reliable operation throughout the component's service life.
