24V DRIVE, ULTRA HIGH SPEED LINE THERMAL PRINTER 3” MECHANISM FTP-631MCL101/102 ■ OVERVIEW This thermal printer (driven by 24 VDC) provides ultra-high speed printing for 3-inch wide paper (85 mm). This printer is small in size, light weight, and has low power consumption. The print head is designed with 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. FTP-631MCL101, 102 ■ HIGHLIGHTS • Ultra high speed printing It can print at 100 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) by using Fujitsu Components' unique head drive control system. • Compact and lightweight The printer has a low profile of only 28 mm, and a light weight of approximately 260 g. • Low power consumption The peak current for head driving is approximately 5.2 A (at 50 mm/s printing speed, 50% printing ratio). FTP-621CU102, FTP-633GA101 • 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. FTP-631MCL102 can print on paper thicknesses of up to 150 µm.
