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