Fujitsu’s New Receipt/Journal Printer Series Offers Modular Design Options -

Sunnyvale, CA, April 28, 2009 —  Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today released a new series of ultra low-profile, 24V, receipt and journal printer units that can either be combined together into one modular unit, or mounted separately for design and installation flexibility. Target applications include mini kiosks, banking and POS terminals, and scientific and medical equipment.

The new FTP-627USL525/526 series consists of two units: a 2-inch thermal receipt printer/cutter unit (FTP-627USL525), and a 2-inch journal printer/rewinder unit (FTP-627USL526). The receipt printer unit measures a compact 82 (W) x 150 (D) x 110 (H)mm, while the journaling unit measures 86(W) x 150(D) x 157(H)mm. Both units weigh 350g each.

Designed for medium-duty applications, both the receipt and journal units have output speeds of up to 150mm per second and have an operating life of 100km of paper. The receipt printer unit’s guillotine cutter features its own dedicated stepper motor to deliver 1 million cuts at 20 cuts/minute.

The platen release mechanism on both the receipt and journaling unit resists paper jams and allows drop-in paper loading into a plastic paper bucket for rolls up to 58mm wide and 83mm in diameter. Print capability includes a variety of text, standard, extended and 2D barcodes, logos and graphics at 8dots/mm resolution.

Both units feature a die-cast frame that provides shock and vibration resistance, mounting stability, ESD absorption, and static electricity dissipation. It also enables combined or separate unit use, while ensuring suitability for many types of installations.

Available immediately, the RoHS-compliant FTP-627USL525 receipt printer unit is priced $79 and the FTP-627USL526 is priced at $94 each in one thousand-piece quantities. Delivery is 14-16 weeks ARO. Serial or USB interface boards, Windows® 2000/XP, Linux, and OPOS drivers, and cables are also available.
