24V DRIVE, ULTRA HIGH SPEED LINE THERMAL PRINTER
3” MECHANISM

FTP-631MCL201/202

■ OVERVIEW

This thermal printer (driven by 24 VDC) provides high speed
printing for 3-inch wide paper (85 mm). This printer is small in
size, light weight, and has low power consumption. The print
head is designed with open construction for easy maintenance.

This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as POS
terminals, ticket machines, label printers, measuring devices and
medical equipment.

In addition to the interface board, a driving LSI (MCU + Gate
Array) is also available.

FTP-631MCL201, 202

■ HIGHLIGHTS

• Ultra high speed printing

It can print at 100 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) by using Fujitsu
Components' unique head drive control system.

• Compact and lightweight

This printer has a low profile of only 28 mm, and a light weight
of approximately 260 g.

• Low power consumption

The peak current for head driving is approximately 2.6 A (at 50
mm/s printing speed, 50% printing ratio).

• Easy head access

Head-open construction makes head maintenance easy,
especially for head cleaning.

• Paper auto loading function

The thermal paper can be loaded without head-up lever
operation.

• High resolution

8 dots/mm head provides clear print output.
