BATTERY DRIVE, MICRO LINE THERMAL PRINTER 3” TYPE MECHANISM AND INTERFACE BOARD

FTP-633MCL400/FTP-623DCL002

■ OVERVIEW

This battery driven, micro line thermal printer offers high speed printing for 3-inch wide paper (70 mm). It is suitable for portable equipment that requires compact, lightweight components.

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

■ HIGHLIGHTS

• Driven by batteries (direct connect between thermal head and batteries)

It can be driven by a broad range of voltages (4.2 to 8.5 V) of NiCd or Nickel-Hydrogen by using Fujitsu Components' unique head drive control system. The battery pack can be connected directly to the print head without a voltage regulator. Also, a lithium-ion battery can be applied.

• High speed printing

It can print at approximately 24 character lines/s (460 dotlines/s = 60 mm/s).

• Compact and lightweight

It has a light weight of approximately 84 g.

• Low power consumption

The peak current for head driving is approximately 3.0 A.

• Selectable paper paths

Front, rear and top paper insertion paths can be used.

• Paper auto loading function

Paper feeding is enabled by operating the head up lever.

• Variety of suitable paper

This model is capable of printing on a variety of papers, including 1-ply roll paper, 2-ply paper (TCC and roll), labels, and long-life paper.
