FTP-624MCL303/304/FTP-624DSL113

■ OVERVIEW

FTP-624MCL303/304 is a high speed, battery driven thermal
printer with a miniature cutter, printing on 2-inch wide paper
(58mm/60mm). A newly developed, long life, compact, light
weight cutter has been partnered with a FTP-624MCL
mechanism to produce this new product.

The design allows easy maintenance, head cleaning, head
replacement, and cutter replacement.

This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as
hand held POS terminals, measurement and medical
instruments.

A dedicated LSI (microcontroller) for driving the printer or an
interface board mounting this LSI is also available.

■ HIGHLIGHTS

• Long life

Due to our proprietary cutter driving mechanism, the life of
the cutter is 300,000 cuts.

• High speed printing

It can print at 60 mm/s (480 dotlines) maximum by using
Fujitsu's unique head drive control.

• Paper auto loading function

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

• Two types of cut functions

Full and partial cut are possible.

• UL Recognized

File No. E171434
