Printheads
Thick film thermal printhead
(8 dots / mm)
KD2008-CF10A
The KD2008-CF10A is a A4-size thick-film thermal printhead, developed mainly for handy printers for personal
computers.
zApplications
Plain-paper printers
Low speed ticket vendors
Measuring terminal printers
zFeatures
1) A new pin connector structure greatly reduces the size and weight.
2) A newly developed 144-bit IC levels the strobe partition and reduces the noise level.
3) One rank resistance value of 1000Ω ± 3% eliminates provides good printing quality on rough paper.
