24V DRIVE, FTP-609 SERIES  
ULTRA HIGH SPEED (200
mm/s)
2” TYPE MECHANISM (Cutter option)
FTP-629MCL103/383-R
n  OVERVIEW 
The FTP-609MCL Series thermal printer (driven by 24VDC) 
provides ultra-high speed printing (200mm/s) for 2-inch and 3inch wide paper. 
This series is suitable for a variety of applications, such as POS/ 
ECR, kiosk terminals, ticket machines, label printers, banking 
machines, measuring devices, medical equipment, etc.
n  HIGHLIGHTS 
• Ultra high speed printing
   It can print at 200 mm/s (1600 dotlines/s) maximum by using  
   Fujitsu Components' unique head drive control.
FTP-6x9MCL103R with FTP-629DCL014R
• High resolution
   8 dots/mm head provides clear print out.
• ELM (Easy Loading Mechanism) with lock type
   Fujitsu Components' unique platen release mechanism allows 
easy paper setting and easy head maintenance.
• Auto Cutter
   Printer with auto cutter (full cut/ partial cut) is available. It can 
be mounted on top of the mechanism.
• Multi-featuring diecast frame
   By application of multi-featuring diecast frame, continous print 
by function of heat-sink, high ESD stand by function of earth 
frame and shock/vibration stand by function of solid frame are  
valid.
• Compact size
   Depth: 40.5mm, width: 82.2mm, height: 20.5mm for the 2   inch model. The 3-inch model has a width of 104.2mm
• RoHS compliant
