Provides OEMs with durable, ultra-fast receipt output in a small footprint

Sunnyvale, CA, - Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today expanded its thermal printer offering for OEMs with the release of a high-speed, three-inch receipt printer unit for compact, self-service devices and kiosks. This new printer unit has features that accelerate transaction times while providing long-term reliability, durability and drop-in design integration.

The new FTP-63AUSL001/002 series delivers print speeds up to 250mm/sec (9.84 inches per second) with 8 dot/mm resolution. It is targeted to a variety of Point-Of-Sale and ticket- and receipt-generating kiosk applications across multiple industries, including retail, banking, transportation, gaming, convenience, and hospitality.

Designed for long operating dependability, the printer has a minimum 150km total printing life. An available, heavy-duty, front-mount guillotine cutter has a minimum mechanical life of one million cuts.

To support shrinking self-service kiosk designs, the entire unit, with the optional auto-cutter, printer, and paper roll holder, is contained in a one-piece, die-cast frame measuring a compact, 130(W) x 246(D) x 125(H) mm that weighs 2.0kg. This die-cast frame enhances durability and acts as a heat-sink during continuous printing.
