The MLX-608 interfaces with the Fujitsu FTP628 (60mm wide paper) and FTP638 (80mm wide paper) series of
direct thermal miniprinter mechanisms.
A mechanism and interface combination would typically be selected for integration into oem equipment
demanding; compact, low cost, low power, printer output. The use of such components inevitably demands more
design and development than an external or even panel mounted printer but it becomes cost effective for larger
volume production runs or where corporate branding or identity is paramount to the aesthetics of the final
product.
Thermal printers would be selected over their impact dot matrix equivalents where faster speed, higher
resolution, greater reliability, lower cost and quiet operation is demanded.
Applications
For integration into oem equipment requiring; compact, low cost, low or battery
power and quality output onto thermal paper rolls or labels (including linerless
stock).
