DB_LTPH243 25.05.01 10:58 Uhr Seite 1 LTP Series LTP LTPH243 PRINTER • High resolution printing (8 dots/mm) • High speed, low voltage printing (30 mm/s @ 3.6V, 40.5mm/s @ 4.2V, 55.0 mm/s @ 5.6V) • Battery operation of 3 cells Ni-MH / Ni-Cd batteries or 1 cell of lithium-ion batteries for hand-held applications • Low 2.7 to 5.6V power supply operation • Improved operability of paper installation and head cleaning by release lever operation • Compact and lightweight (approx. 46g) • Low noise thermal line dot printing • Design to fit easily into the outer case (reduced number of outer case parts) LTPH243 presents the first low power-supply mechanism by Seiko Instruments supplementing the easy paper operation line. Using only 3V (voltage range from 2.7 to 5.6V) and due to its comfortable battery drive of only one lithium-ion or, alternatively, three Ni-MH / Ni-Cd batteries, LTPH243 is an ideal print mechanism for all portable devices such as handheld terminals in the EFT-POS market. The LTPH243 thermal printer combines extraordinary compact design and high-speed, high resolution thermal line dot printing with easiest paper installation. A lock arm either holds the platen or opens it when pushing the release lever. In addition, two springs guarantee an even pressure between thermal head and platen roller. LTPH243 is applicable for electronic cash registers, measuring instruments and analysers, various POS applications as well as communication and data terminal devices.

It processes data obtained from a host device, converts it and transfers it to the LTPH243. The interface is compatible with both parallel and serial data input. It prints characters and bit images as well as extended graphic character sets. IFH301-01B also outputs internal test patterns and gives information about the status of the printer.
