3” MECHANISM, WITH CUTTER

FTP-632MCL301/302

■ OVERVIEW

FTP-632MCL/FTP-622DCL/DSL 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
