n  Overview
The FTP-628 MCL Series are battery driven high-speed  
printers with a 2-inch paper width equivalent.  
The FTP-628 MCL Series can be used for a variety of  
applications, such as portable terminals, POS, banking 
terminals, and measurement and medical equipment. 
n highLighTs 
• Ultralowprole
   Height 21.8 mm, width 81.2 mm, depth 42.2 mm
• Highspeedprinting
   It can print at 60 mm/s (480 dotlines/s) maximum by using 
Fujitsu's unique head drive control.
• AutoCutter
   Full cut type and partial cut type printers are available by 
user selection.
• Easypapersetting
   Our unique platen release mechanism allows a    
   wide paper route even if the printer is ultra-compact, so  
   paper can be easily inserted. Conventional auto loading is  
   also available.
• Multifunctionaldie-castform
   Wide operating temperature range, long continuous  
printing, high ESD absorbtion and discharge of static  
electricity vibration and shock resistant.
• RoHScompliant
