Fujitsu FTP-628 Series Manuals

1 This document explains an ultra-compact thermal printer which uses our unique platen release mechanism. I TYPES OF PRINTERS Printer types are largely classified into a letter and dot printer in terms of character configuration, and into a non-impact and impact printer in terms of the printing mechanism. Non-impact type printers include thermal type, inkjet type and electro-photographic type. Impact type printers include letter type and wire dot type. A printing unit is classified into serial, line and page. Thermal printers have thermo-sensitive types and heat transfer types. Fujitsu Components' printer explained here is a thermo-sensitive line printer. The major features of this printer follow. ULTRA COMPACT THERMAL PRINTERS (1) Compact, light weight Configuration is simple, compact and light weight. (2) Low noise Noise is low because it is a non-impact type which prints without mechanical impact. (3) High-speed and high quality printing High quality images can be printed at high-speed because of a line dot system where printing is performed in one line units by a fixed print head. (4) Maintenance free Such consumables as ribbon, tape, ink and toner are unnecessary. Thermo-sensitive paper alone is required.
