BATTERY DRIVE, MICRO LINE THERMAL PRINTER
2” TYPE MECHANISM AND INTERFACE BOARD
FTP-623MCL400/FTP-623DCL002
■ OVERVIEW
This battery driven, micro line thermal printer provides high speed
printing for 2-inch wide (58mm) paper. It is suitable for portable
equipment that requires compact, light weight components.
In addition to the interface board, a driving LSI (MCU + Gate Array)
is also available.
■ HIGHLIGHTS
• Driven by batteries (direct connect between thermal head
and batteries)
FTP-623MCL400
It can be driven by a broad range of voltages (4.2 to 8.5 V) of
NiCd or Nickel-Hydrogen by using Fujitsu Components' unique
head drive control system. The battery pack can be connected
directly to the print head without a voltage regulator. Also, a
lithium-ion battery can be used.
• High speed printing
It can print at approximately 23 character lines/s (460 dotlines/s =
57.5 mm/s).
• Compact and lightweight
It has a light weight of approximately 75 g.
FTP-623CU001, FTP-633GA101
• Low power consumption
The peak current for head driving is approximately 3.0 A.
• Selectable paper paths
Front, rear, and top paper insertion paths can be used.
• Paper auto loading function
Paper feeding is enabled by operating the head up lever.
• Variety of suitable papers
This model is suitable for printing on a variety of papers,
including 1-ply roll paper, 2-ply paper (TCC and roll), labels, and
long-life paper.

*1: Character composition for single density reduced mode is the same as for single density standard mode.
*2: The data to be printed is automatically read out by the printer driver equipment memory (host system frame
memory). The communication is parameter transfer.
*3: Temperature range for guaranteed printing density. It can be operated in the range of 0 to +40°C.
