24V DRIVE, ULTRA HIGH SPEED LINE THERMAL PRINTER
2” MECHANISM, WITH AVAILABLE CUTTER
FTP-621MCL351/352
■ OVERVIEW
This thermal printer (driven by 24 VDC) and cutter provide high
speed printing for 2-inch wide paper (60 mm). This printer is
small in size, light weight, and has low power consumption.
The print head is designed with open construction for easy
maintenance.
This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as
POS terminals, ticket machines, label printers, measuring
devices and medical equipment.
In addition to the interface board, a driving LSI (MCU + Gate
Array) is also available.
■ HIGHLIGHTS
• Ultra high speed printing
It can print at 100 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) by using Fujitsu
Components' unique head drive control system.
• Auto cutter
Full or partial cutting are available by normal or reverse
rotation of the motor (command set).
• Low power consumption
The peak current for head driving is approximately 2.2 A (at
50 mm/s printing speed, 50% printing ratio).
• Easy head access
Open head construction makes head maintenance easy,
especially for head cleaning.
• Paper auto loading function
The thermal paper can be loaded without head-up lever
operation.
• High resolution
8 dots/mm head provide clear print output.
• Selectable paper paths
Front or rear insertion types are available.

*1: The data to be printed is automatically read out by the printer driver equipment memory (host system frame
memory). The communication is parameter transfer.
*2: At 25°C, maximum applied voltage, minimum head resistance, specified paper, stable printing ratio.
*3: Temperature range for guaranteed printing density. It can operate at 0 to +40°C.
