FTP-637MCL401/411/601
n Overview
The FTP-637 MCL Series are 24V driven high-speed printers
with a ultra low prole auto cutter and long life.
The FTP-637 MCL Series can be used for a variety of
applications, such as POS terminals, ticket vending machines,
label printers, banking terminals, and measurement and
medical equipment.
n HiGHLiGHTS
Height 21.8 mm, width 103.2/104.5 mm, depth 42.2 mm
It can print at 100/150 mm/s maximum by using Fujitsu's
unique head drive control.
Long life and high reliable guilotine with dedicated motor.
Our lever platen release mechanism allows a
wide paper route, so paper can be easily inserted.
Conventional auto loading is also available.
Wide operating temperature range, long continuous
printing, high ESD absorbtion and discharge of static
electricity vibration and shock resistant.
