n  Overview
The FTP-607MCL Series thermal printer (driven by 24VDC)
provides ultra-high speed printing (80mm/s) for 2-inch and
3-inch wide paper. Our original platen removal mechanism
allows easy paper loading and maintenance.
The FTP-607 MCL series can be used for a variety of
applications, such as POS/ECR, Kiosk terminals, ticket
issuing terminals, label printers, banking terminals, and
measurement and medical equipment.

•  Compact size
 Height 5.5 mm, width 70.4 mm, depth 33.0 mm for the 2
inch model. The 3-inch product has a width of 92.4mm.
•  High speed printing
 It can print at 00 mm/s (800 dotlines/s) maximum by
using Fujitsu's unique head drive control.
•  easy loading mechanism (eLM) type
 Our unique platen removal mechanism improved paper
 loading and maintenance.
•  Multi-featuring diecast fame
 By application of multi-featuring diecast frame, continous
print by function of heat-sink, high ESD stand by function
of earth frame and shock/vibration stand by function of
solid frame are valid.
•  High resolution printing
 8 dots/mm of resolution printing is possible.
