BATTERY DRIVE, MICRO LINE THERMAL PRINTER 2” TYPE MECHANISM AND INTERFACE BOARD

FTP-623MCL400/FTP-623DCL002

■ OVERVIEW

This battery driven, micro line thermal printer provides high speed printing for 2-inch wide (58mm) paper. It is suitable for portable equipment that requires compact, light weight components.

In addition to the interface board, a driving LSI (MCU + Gate Array) is also available.

■ HIGHLIGHTS

• Driven by batteries (direct connect between thermal head and batteries)

It can be driven by a broad range of voltages (4.2 to 8.5 V) of NiCd or Nickel-Hydrogen by using Fujitsu Components' unique head drive control system. The battery pack can be connected directly to the print head without a voltage regulator. Also, a lithium-ion battery can be used.

• High speed printing

It can print at approximately 23 character lines/s (460 dotlines/s =

57.5 mm/s).

• Compact and lightweight

It has a light weight of approximately 75 g.

• Low power consumption

The peak current for head driving is approximately 3.0 A.

• Selectable paper paths

Front, rear, and top paper insertion paths can be used.

• Paper auto loading function

Paper feeding is enabled by operating the head up lever.

• Variety of suitable papers

This model is suitable for printing on a variety of papers, including 1-ply roll paper, 2-ply paper (TCC and roll), labels, and long-life paper.

*1: Character composition for single density reduced mode is the same as for single density standard mode. *2: The data to be printed is automatically read out by the printer driver equipment memory (host system frame

memory). The communication is parameter transfer.

*3: Temperature range for guaranteed printing density. It can be operated in the range of 0 to +40°C.
