THERMAL PRINTER
3” MECHANISM, WITH OR WITHOUT CUTTER
FTP-632MCL001/002/303/304
■ OVERVIEW
FTP-632MCL/FTP-622DCL Series is an ultra high speed line
thermal printer driven by 24 VDC, printing on 3-inch wide paper
(80 mm/85 mm).
This printer is compact and light weight, and the design allows
easy head maintenance, head cleaning and head replacement.
This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as POS
terminals, ticket machines, coupon machines, label printers,
medical instruments, etc. A printer with a specially designed
cutter is also available.
FTP-632MCL001
■ HIGHLIGHTS
• Ultra high speed printing
It can print at 80 mm/s (640 dotlines/s) maximum by using
Fujitsu Components' unique head drive control.
• Compact and lightweight
This printer has a low profile of only 20 mm, and a light
weight of approximately 94 g.
• Low power consumption
The peak current for head driving is approximately 2.9 A (at
80 mm/s printing speed, 50% printing ratio).
• Easy head access
It is designed for easy head cleaning and head replacement.
• Paper auto loading function
Thermal paper can be loaded without head-up lever
operation.
