Mobile receipt and label printer

26 June 2013 Computer/Embedded Technology

Fujitsu Components America has added a semi-rugged, USB handheld printer to its mobile thermal printer offering.

The unit supports connectivity with a variety of mobile computing devices for field sales, medical, POS and hospitality receipt and label printing applications.

The FTP-628WSL212 is a 2-inch direct thermal printer with a USB 2.0 interface (12 Mbps max.) and IP54 compliance. It is fully programmable and measures 84,0 (W) x 136,5 (L) x 30 (H) mm and weighs 220 g, including battery, making it compact and lightweight enough for applications requiring a user to wear the printer for extended periods.

The printer is powered by either a 3,7 V d.c. lithium-ion battery or a 120/240 V a.c. adaptor. With modest 1,6 A power consumption, a single battery charge will print 6 rolls (100 m) of paper. Fujitsu’s easy-load mechanism enables quick, drop-in paper loading for continuous use.

The FTP-628WSL212 has a print speed up to 50 mm/sec. (400 dot lines/sec) using thermal paper and continuous or linerless label stock that is 58 mm wide and 0,060-0,100 mm thick. The unit prints a variety of characters, 2D barcodes and stacked barcodes at 203 dpi resolution, and supports Windows 7, Vista, 2000/XP, CE 6.0 and Linux drivers.
