Fujitsu FTP-641MCL351 User manual

FTP-641MCL351/352
■OVERVIEW
This thermal printer (driven by 24 VDC) and cutter provide high
speed printing for 4-inch wide paper (114 mm). This printer is small
in size, light weight, and has low power consumption. The print
head features open construction for easy maintenance.
This printer is suitable for a variety of applications, such as POS
terminals, ticket machines, label printers, measuring devices and
medical equipment.
In addition to the interface board, a driving LSI (MCU + Gate Array)
is also available.
■HIGHLIGHTS
• Ultra high speed printing
It can print at 100 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) by using Fujitsu
Components' unique head drive control system.
• Auto cutter
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
operation.
• High resolution
8 dots/mm head provides clear print output.
• Selectable paper paths
Front or rear insertion types are available.
