Fujitsu adds to printing options

January 12, 2012

Fujitsu Components America Inc. has expanded its mobile thermal printer offering with a 2-inch receipt unit compatible with Apple iOS, Android and BlackBerry operating systems.

The new FTP-628WSL210 thermal printer features Bluetooth and USB interfaces to support connectivity with a variety of mobile computing devices for field sales, medical, retail and industrial receipt and label printing applications, according to a company press release. The printer is powered by either a 3.7VDC lithium ion battery or a 120/240 VAC adapter. With modest 1.6A power consumption, the unit will print six rolls (100m) of paper on a single battery charge.

The company has also enhanced its FP-510 standalone thermal printer series with an ultra-high print speed and expanded functions to improve throughput efficiency and reduce wait times for receipt, ticket and label printing, according to a release.

The new FP-510II printer combines a 300mm/sec print speed with optimized driver and firmware to produce a first-page in 1.9 seconds from data transfer initiation. A print reduction/resize function conserves paper, lowers operating costs and reduces paper waste.

The printer accommodates various paper widths up to 83mm wide and 0.075-0.150mm thick. Paper rolls up to 102mm maximum (outside diameter) can be used to minimize paper changes. A space-efficient, 128(W) x 207(D) x 145(H) mm footprint and front-feed media delivery minimizes occupied work space.

With a reliability rating of 70 million lines (MCBF), 150km of paper and 2 million cuts, the FP-510II is especially suited for long-term installations. Target applications include POS and kiosk systems, as well as gaming, industrial scales, voting and medical applications. A splash-proof casing offers protection in industrial or healthcare environments.
