Thermal printer for fast, portable label output

13 June 2007 Computer/Embedded Technology

Fujitsu Components Europe offers a high-speed, battery-powered, 4-inch (10,16 cm) thermal printer mechanism for high-performance, portable label printing applications such as warehousing, POS, industrial, medical, and scientific instrumentation.

The FTP-648MCL103/104 series features a 50 mm/s print speed with 8 dot/mm (210 dpi) resolution to quickly output high-quality barcodes, graphics and text. The lock lever-releasable, detachable platen simplifies paper loading and periodic maintenance for reduced downtime.

Weighing in at 160 g and measuring 139,5 x 40,5 x 20,5 mm (W x D x H), the printer is suitable for compact portable designs. For installation flexibility, both front and bottom paper insertions paths are offered.

The printer handles paper up to 114 mm maximum width. It is supported by a serial (RS232C) or USB interface. A variety of Windows drivers are available for download from the FCAI website.

Fujitsu has rated the print head at 100 million pulses or 50 km of paper. The printer has an operating temperature range of -25 to 70°C and a platen life of 5000 cycles.
