High speed 24VDC embedded printer for medical applications

Two versions are available: for Point-of-Sale receipt printers and similar uses, the ‘Easy Load’ version with a removable thermal head that enables simple drop-in roll replacement. The ‘Auto Load’ model has a hinged thermal head assembly for embedded designs such as kiosk and ticketing machines and an optical sensor that automatically initiates replacement paper loading.

Both versions offer print speeds of 300mm/s on standard 58, 60, 80 and 83mm wide paper up to 90 micron thickness; the thick paper model prints at 280mm/s on paper up to 150 micron thick. The integral cutter has a hardened V-shaped blade specified to two million operations of either complete or partial cuts that leave a small centre point attached between receipts.

The units feature an all-metal body, powerful motors and wide gears throughout to ensure reliability. They are designed to output more than 1.3 million x 150mm receipts with up to 640 dots/line. Furthermore, 16 x 8, 16 x 16, 24 x 12 and 24 x 24 characters are supported, resolution is eight dots/mm.
