Fujitsu releases panel-mount thermal printer subassembly

January 20, 2017

Fujitsu Components America, Inc. released a smallest-in-class, panel-mount thermal printer subassembly for OEMs that streamlines the process of embedding a printing/cutting solution into kiosk, POS, ticketing, vending, measurement equipment, medical device and banking ATM applications, according to a press release.

The FTP-62GUSL unit incorporates a 2-inch wide, direct thermal printer mechanism, auto cutter and control board. It can be specified with a plastic frame chassis (FTP-62GUSL001) measuring 92.0 W x 95.9 D x 115.4 mm H, or enclosed in a metal housing (FTP-62GUSL101) measuring 97.2 W x 96.3 D x 119 mm H for additional durability and circuit protection.

The unit features a print speed of 170-mm per second (1360 dotlines per second) and command-selectable partial or full auto-cut capability. It accommodates up to 83-mm diameter rolls of 60-100-μm-thick paper stock and is designed with a straight paper path to reduce jams.

The printer has service life of 100 million pulses/dots, an operating temperature of 0°C to +50°C and a cutter life of 1,000,000 cuts per minute.

Other features include RS-232 and USB-interface support, drop-in paper replacement and auto paper feed. Alternatively, external switches on the unit’s finished faceplate permit manual paper feed and cutting.
