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. 16 x 8, 16 x 16, 24 x 12 and 24 x 24 characters are supported, resolution is 8 dots/mm. The communication interface with the host machine is via parallel, serial or USB with Seiko’s interface boards or control chips; Windows and Linux drivers are available.
