24V DRIVE, ULTRA HIGH SPEED LINE THERMAL PRINTER
2” MECHANISM
FTP-621MCL201/202
■ OVERVIEW
This thermal printer (driven by 24 VDC) provides 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 the 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.
FTP-621MCL201, 202
■ HIGHLIGHTS
• Ultra high speed printing
It can print at 100 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) by using Fujitsu
Components' unique head drive control system.
• Compact and lightweight
This printer has a profile of only 28 mm, and a light weight of
approximately 210 g.
• 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.
