FTP-644MCL001/002/FTP-624DCL/DSL

■ OVERVIEW

FTP-644MCL/FTP-624DCL/DSL Series is a high speed line
thermal printer driven by battery, printing on 4-inch wide paper
(112 mm/ 114 mm).

The printer is compact and lightweight, and the design allows
easy head maintenance, head cleaning and head replacement.

This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as hand
held terminals, POS terminals, ticket machines, coupon
machines, label printers, etc.

■ HIGHLIGHTS

• High speed printing

It can print at 50 mm/s (400 dotlines/s) maximum by using
Fujitsu

Components' unique head drive control.

• Compact and lightweight

The printer has a low profile of only 20 mm, and a light weight
of approximately 125 g.

• Low power consumption

The peak current for head drive is only 3.5 A (8.5VDC, 128
dots on).

• Easy head access

It is designed for easy head cleaning and head replacement.

• Paper auto loading function

Thermal paper can be loaded without head-up lever
operation.

• UL recognized

File No. E171434
