US printing machinery firm Fujitsu has announced the upgraded version of FP-510 thermal printer, which operates at a speed of 300mm/sec. The firm said its new FP-510II has been integrated with optimized driver and firmware to produce a first-page in 1.9 seconds.

It can conveniently print a wide range of papers up to 83mm wide and 0.075-0.150mm thick. Paper rolls up to 102mm can be used to minimize paper changes, said the firm.

The machine with 128(W) x 207(D) x 145(H)mm footprint and front-feed media delivery reduces occupied work space.

Standard components of the machine includes 16 grey-scale or 2-color printing of characters, graphics and bar codes, 203dpi resolution (8dots/mm), 3MB user memory, an auto-cutter and drop-in paper loading.

Suitable for long-term installations, the FP-510II provides reliability rating of 70 million lines (MCBF), 150km of paper and 2 million cuts.
