■ OVERVIEW

FTP-642MCL/FTP-622DCL Series is an ultra high speed line thermal
printer driven by 24 VDC, printing on 4-inch wide paper (112 mm/114
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-642MCL001

■ 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 125 g.

• Low power consumption

The peak current for head driving is approximately 4.1 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.

• ESC/POS

The commands conform to ESC/POSTM.

• Auto Cutter

Printer with auto cutter (full cut/partial cut ) is also available.
