Description

LTPH243 presents the first low power-supply mechanism by Seiko Instruments supplementing the easy paper operation line. Using only 3V (voltage range from 2.7 to 5.6V) and due to its comfortable battery drive of only one lithium-ion or, alternatively, three Ni-MH / Ni-Cd batteries, LTPH243 is an ideal print mechanism for all portable devices such as handheld terminals in the EFT-POS market. The LTPH243 thermal printer combines extraordinary compact design and high-speed, high resolution thermal line dot printing with easiest paper installation. A lock arm either holds the platen or opens it when pushing the release lever. In addition, two springs guarantee\ an even pressure between thermal head and platen roller. LTPH243 is applicable for electronic cash registers, measuring instruments and analysers, various POS applications as well as communication and data terminal devices.
