n Overview

The FTP-627 MCL Series are 24V driven high-speed printers

with a ultra low prole auto cutter and long life.

The FTP-627 MCL Series can be used for a variety of
applications, such as POS terminals, ticket vending machines,
label printers, banking terminals, and measurement and
medical equipment.

n HiGHLiGHTS

• Ultralowprole

Height 21.8 mm, width 81.2 mm, depth 42.2 mm

• Highspeedprinting

It can print at 100/150 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) maximum by

using Fujitsu's unique head drive control.

• AutoCutter

Long life and high reliable guilotine with dedicated motor.

• Easypapersetting

Our lever platen release mechanism allows a
wide paper route, so paper can be easily inserted.
Conventional auto loading is also available.

• Multifunctionaldie-castframe

Wide operating temperature range, long continuous
printing, high ESD absorbtion and discharge of static
electricity vibration and shock resistant.

• RoHScompliant
