PRU·PMU·PHU SERIES SPECIFICATIONS

1. GENERAL OUTLINE

The PRU-130 is a presenter unit (automatic paper feed output unit) equipped with an auto-cutter mechanism. When used in conjunction with various types of printer, the PRU-130 can help to prevent paper misfeeds, paper jams, and troubles associated with issuing coupons and receipts. The PMU-231 is a mechanical printer unit exclusively designed for the PRU-130. The PHU-131 / 132 is a paper holder that can accommodate a large-diameter paper roll.

1.1 Features

<PRU-130>

•Compact and lightweight.

•High reliability realized at a low cost, based on a simple mechanism.

•Up to 170 mm (or 6.7 inches) long receipts can be issued. (Receipts longer than 170 mm are pushed out of the paper output slot as printing proceeds.)

•Equipped with a thin-type, high-reliability auto-cutter.

<PMU-231>

•High speed with low noise, based on line thermal printing technology.

•Long-life head adopted, and high reliability attained with a simple mechanism.

<PHU-131 / 132>

•Capable of holding a large-diameter paper roll (ø 203 mm max.).

•Near-paper-end sensor adjustable.

•Capable of 2-level detection of near-paper-end conditions. (PHU-132)

1.2 Uses

• Issuing a variety of tickets and coupons (game machines and amusement equipment).

• Unattended ticket issuing systems

• Outdoor information terminals (KIOSK)

• ATM bank terminals

PRU·PMU·PHU SERIES SPECIFICATIONS

CAUTION:

•Install this equipment to machines which are placed horizontally and securely.

•Do not install the equipment near a heater, radiator, or in direct sunlight.

•Avoid using the equipment in a high-temperature, high-humidity, or dirty environment.

•Avoid condensation occurring on or inside the equipment. If condensation should occur, never turn on the equipment until the condensation disappears completely.

•Be sure to keep this User’s Manual with care for future reference.
