Fujitsu FTP-628 Series Bedienungsanleitung

This document explains an ultra-compact thermal

printer which uses our unique platen release

mechanism.

■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.

■MARKET TREND OF THERMAL

PRINTERS

The features of a thermal printer are high-speed

printing, high quality image printing, low noise and

maintenance free. Since paper price, storage,

quality and the characteristics of thermo-sensitive

paper have been improving, thermal line printers

are being used for various equipment, including

POS and ECR distribution terminals issuing

receipts, and ATM and CD banking terminals, as

well as for journal printers, ticket issuing machines,

and measurement and medical equipment. As

information equipment and distribution terminals

become compact and mobile, more compact and

more advanced functions are demanded of printers

mounted on this equipment with batteries or with

adapters. Also easy paper setting and better

operability are demanded.

Fujitsu Components' has been including battery-

driven type printers for compact information

terminals, such as hand-held terminals, in a series.

However to meet the above mentioned demands,

we commercialized the new more compact FTP-

628 product series. These are battery-driven ultra-

compact thermal printers built into compact and

high functioning equipment. In order to improve

operability despite the ultra-compact size, we used

our unique platen release mechanism where a

wide route paper path can be secured.

We will introduce the new platen release

mechanism used in the FTP-628 series.

■BASIC CONFIGURATION AND

OPERATION THEORY OF THERMAL

PRINTERS

A thermal printer is basically comprised of a

thermal head, which prints by generating heat, a

platen (rubber roller), which feeds paper, and a

head-pressure spring, which presses the thermal

head to the thermo-sensitive paper. For printing,

thermo-sensitive paper is inserted between the

thermal head and platen, and the head pressure

spring presses the thermal head to the thermo-

sensitive paper. Current is supplied to the heating

resistor of the thermal head to generate heat. This

heat colors the thermal coloring layer of the thermo-

sensitive paper and prints data. This method of

printing is called “thermo-sensitive (direct type)”.

Using this thermo-sensitive type method, when one

dot line (one row in the width direction of paper) of

printing completes, the platen rotates to feed the

paper, and printing continues to the next dot line.

Therefore this system is called a “thermal line type”.

■CONVENTIONAL MECHANISM

Paper is set between the thermal head and the platen. The thermal head is moved by a lever with a cam

mechanism which maintains space from the platen. Since the lever is attached to the side face of the

printer, space for the lever to operate is required on the side face of the printer.

■PLATEN RELEASE MECHANISM

This mechanism allows the platen to be moved away from the thermal head. The platen is attached to the

paper guide. By moving this paper guide away from the thermal head, the platen can be moved away from

the thermal head. Because of this design, the space for a paper route is increased and operation to pass

paper to the paper route became easier. Because of this front face operation, a lever at the side face of the

printer is unnecessary, which makes the printer compact.

Ultra Compact Thermal Printers

In the FTP-628 series, auto loading, the same as in

conventional products, is also possible, and two

types of paper routes are in this series for mounting

in various equipment. In addition to a 2-inch

mechanism, a 24V drive product with the same

shape, and a miniature cutter were also developed

and will be included in the series.

FTP-628 series

The FTP-628 series, which uses a unique platen

release mechanism, has the following features.

●Ultra-compact shape

Designed to be minimum size, with a 15.5mm height,

70.0mm width and 35.6mm depth. The volume is the

smallest in the industry in this class of printers.

●High-speed printing

With our original head control, high-speed printing is

possible. Speed is a maximum 60mm/sec. (480 dot

lines/sec.), which is the fastest among battery-driven

printers in this class.

●Easy paper setting

With our original platen release mechanism, there is

a wide space for the paper route despite the ultra-

compact shape, making paper insertion much easier.

Conventional auto loading can also be supported.

●Two types of paper routes

Two types of paper routes are available in order to be

easily mounted in various equipment.

●Easy mounting

Since the wires of the head, motor and sensor are

collectively housed in one flexible cable, and the

mechanism can be secured by a hook and screws at

two locations, mounting is easy.

●High resolution printing

High resolution printing at 8 dots/mm is possible.

●Industry standard paper width

In the 2 inch type, the 58mm industry standard paper

width is supported.

The above mentioned features allow this printer to be used in various fields. It can be not only built in to

hand-held-terminals, portable settlement terminals, such distribution terminals as ECR, and various

information terminals, but also it can be used for portable communication terminals, ticket issuing machines

and measurement equipment.
