Seiko Low Voltage Thermal Printer Mechanisms: Compact and Reliable Thermal Printing Solutions

Seiko Low Voltage Thermal Printer Mechanisms

When it comes to portable printing applications, the compact and reliable low voltage thermal printer mechanisms from Seiko are the ideal choice. These mechanisms offer an array of benefits, including low power consumption for extended battery life, innovative design options for space-saving solutions, and exceptional print performance.

Introducing the LTPD & CAPD Series

Seiko’s LTPD and CAPD series thermal printer mechanisms are specially designed to meet the demands of smaller, faster, and more reliable mobile devices. With these mechanisms, developers can enjoy enhanced design flexibility, improved reliability, and impressive print speeds.

Compact Design

The LTPD and CAPD series mechanisms feature a smaller overall form factor, making them perfect for compact designs. Additionally, the innovative angled paper guide requires less depth, allowing for further space optimization. With a smaller pitch flexible print circuit (FPC) cable, these mechanisms ensure efficient use of critical design real estate.

Speed and Performance

Speed is a crucial factor in mobile printing. The LTPD and CAPD series mechanisms are rated for print speeds of up to 100 mm per second, providing a significant performance boost to mobile devices. Whether you need to print receipts, labels, or tickets, these mechanisms deliver impressive speed without compromising quality.

Versatility and Integration

Seiko’s LTPD and CAPD series mechanisms offer a wide range of form factor choices to suit various integration requirements. From EZ-OP clamshell-style and auto-loading models to ASIC and interface board solutions, developers have the flexibility to choose the mechanism that best fits their application. Moreover, these mechanisms support both horizontal and vertical mechanical orientations, providing even greater versatility.

Reliability at its Core

Reliability is of utmost importance in printing applications, and Seiko’s LTPD and CAPD series mechanisms deliver outstanding results. With a minimum of 50 km of total printing and 100 million pulses, these mechanisms offer long-lasting performance. The CAPD models feature a new built-in auto-cutter design, enhancing cutter reliability and ensuring consistent and precise media output.
