Fujitsu Adds Ruggedized Mobile Printer

Fujitsu Components America, Inc. today introduced a 3-inch mobile printer whose ruggedized design makes it suitable for use in multiple environments where a robust printing solution is needed. Applications include point of sale, logistics (package delivery), retail (e.g., for on-the-spot generation of discount price and food ingredient/expiration date labels), gaming, and airline baggage-tagging.

The lightweight, rugged casing of the handheld FTP638WSL201 printer out-performs comparable units by withstanding damage even when dropped from a distance of 2.1 meters. In addition, its IP54 rating makes it highly dust resistant and splashproof.

Several features of the printer also enhance user productivity. A paper drop-in system enables faster, easier paper loading, while a printing speed of 130 mm per second allows rapid label/receipt production and handling of customers, resulting in increased output. The printer accepts a larger paper roll than is commonly utilized by similar printing solutions, reducing downtime spent on paper roll replacement. Adding to its flexibility, the FTP-638WSL201 can utilize both 2” and 3” paper by simply turning the knob on the paper carriage.

An optional larger-capacity (5,000mAh) lithium battery may be swapped out for the included (2,500mAh) lithium battery. This saves time by decreasing recharging frequency and/or eliminating the need to carry a spare battery for replacement on the job.

A built-in LCD yields easy control of the printer’s status, along with effortless monitoring of battery charge levels and setting of the communications interface (USB, Bluetooth, WLAN, or NFC) and gap or blackmark positions. Standard accessories of the FTP638WSL201 include a carrying belt, AC adapter, and USB cable. Optional accessories include the larger-capacity battery, a battery charging cradle, car charger, and shoulder strap.

Sharp Electronics Corporation Unveils Its New 2.13-inch Class Color Memory In Pixel LCD Module

Sharp Electronics Corporation, Device Division (SECD) unveiled its new 2.13-inch Class (diagonal) color Memory in Pixel (MIP) LCD module. The display (LS021B7DD02) delivers static or moving images in QVGA resolution and 64 colors, making it perfect for various wearable and handheld products. The new display features ultra-low power consumption of 32 µW (Typ.) for static images and 45µW (Typ.) during 1Hz updates. This savings of power increases time between recharges for small products with a battery. It also enables designers to meet the demand for always-on devices that show a full array of data at a glance without the need to “fire up” the device. The 2.13-inch LCD renders color at 18% NTSC and is 9.0% reflective, which makes images pop even in direct sunlight or high ambient lighting scenarios. The QVGA display delivers smooth graphics/animations and is capable of displaying 18FPS content, unlike many cholesteric, electrophoretic, and other bi-stable, “e-ink” type displays.

In addition to the new 2.13-inch Color Memory LCD, Sharp’s Memory LCD line-up includes the following Class sizes (diagonal): 1.08-inch, 1.19-inch, 1.26-inch, 1.28-inch, 1.39-inch, 1.80-inch, 2.70-inch, 3.16-inch and 4.40-inch.
