Full or partial cutting are available by normal or reverse rotation
of the motor (command set).
• Low power consumption
The peak current for head driving is approximately 3.3 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
