DESCRIPTION OF THE MECHANISM
The main characteristics of the series CM thermal printing mechanism are
definitely the reliability, the quality and the long lasting performance, making it
the suitable product for industrial environments such as weighting, control,
safety systems, as well as medical and portable applications.
The sturdy aluminium alloy casing for a higher thermal efficiency and a much
better rigidity of the structure.
The series CM mechanisms prints at a high 203 dpi resolution on paper
weights between 58 and 80 gr/m2(also labels).
The mechanism is featured with a high torque paper-pulling motor, and with a
silicon rubber roll.
