printer which uses our unique platen release

TYPES OF PRINTERS
Printer types are largely classified into a letter and dot
printer in terms of character configuration, and into a
non-impact and impact printer in terms of the printing
mechanism. Non-impact type printers include thermal
type, inkjet type and electro-photographic type. Impact
type printers include letter type and wire dot type. A
printing unit is classified into serial, line and page.
Thermal printers have thermo-sensitive types and
heat transfer types.
Fujitsu Components' printer explained here is a
thermo-sensitive line printer. The major features of
this printer follow.

(1) Compact, light weight
Configuration is simple, compact and light weight.
(2) Low noise
Noise is low because it is a non-impact type which
prints without mechanical impact.
(3) High-speed and high quality printing
High quality images can be printed at high-speed
because of a line dot system where printing is
performed in one line units by a fixed print head.
(4) Maintenance free
Such consumables as ribbon, tape, ink and toner
are unnecessary. Thermo-sensitive paper alone is
required.
