Fujitsu's new receipt/journal printer series offers modular design options
April 28, 2009
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Fujitsu Components America Inc. has released a new series of ultra low-profile, 24-V receipt and journal printer units that can be combined into one modular unit or mounted separately for design and installation flexibility.
According to a news release, target applications include mini kiosks, banking and POS terminals, and scientific and medical equipment.
The new FTP-627USL525/526 series consists of two units: a 2-inch thermal receipt printer/cutter unit and a 2-inch journal printer/rewinder unit. The receipt printer unit measures a compact 82 (W) x 150 (D) x 110 (H)mm, while the journaling unit measures 86 (W) x 150 (D) x 157 (H)mm. Each unit weighs 350g.
Designed for medium-duty applications, both the receipt and journal units have output speeds of up to 150mm per second and have an operating life of 100km of paper. The receipt printer unit's guillotine cutter features its own dedicated stepper motor to deliver 1 million cuts at 20 cuts/minute.
The platen release mechanism on both the receipt and journaling unit resists paper jams and allows drop-in paper loading into a plastic paper bucket for rolls up to 58mm wide and 83mm in diameter. Print capability includes a variety of text, standard, extended and 2-D barcodes, logos and graphics at 8dots/mm resolution.
Both units feature a die-cast frame that provides shock and vibration resistance, mounting stability, ESD absorption and static electricity dissipation.
