10-6. Reliability
1) Life
Mechanical : 20 million lines
Head :
Auto cutter : 1 million cuttings
<Conditions>
Average printing ratio :
Recommended thermal paper :
2) MCBF: 60 million lines
The Mean Cycle Between Failure (MCBF) is defined to be the overall failure cycle, which
includes random or wear failures that occur until the printer reaches its mechanical life of
20 million lines.
* As the mechanical remains at 20 million lines, the MCBF of 60 million lines does not
indicate its useful life.
3) Auto Cutter (Life)
1 million cuttings (provided the paper thickness is between 65 and 85 µm)
* All the reliability values indicated above are based on the use of the recommended
thermal paper. No reliability can be guaranteed for the use of non-recommended thermal
paper.
