The TBP600 printer line is mechanically and electronically planned for heavy duty (es: automotive).
The case is made of alluminium with a stainless cutter and the cover has two "security" screews.
The motherboard drives an Epson dot impact mechanism with 24 columns (TBP624) or 42 (TBP642). Control system for absence or feed paper fault.
Characteristics (programmables by internal dip switch) of "mod. P" printer are:
- Power on-off by RTS line for energy saving.
- Auto power-off after 25 secs. Stand-by of only 15 uA (@ 13.8V).
- Automatic paper loading
- Availability of a small FONT to reduce the paper consumption of 30 % respect to the traditional models (only TBP624).
On each model of TBP600 series is present an "autodiagnostic" system and a "fault" led in front of the device. It is moreover possible to supply the printer through the pin 9 of the DB9 connector.
