The MLX-608 interfaces with the Fujitsu FTP628 (60mm wide paper) and FTP638 (80mm wide paper) series of direct thermal miniprinter mechanisms.
A mechanism and interface combination would typically be selected for integration into oem equipment demanding; compact, low cost, low power, printer output. The use of such components inevitably demands more design and development than an external or even panel mounted printer but it becomes cost effective for larger volume production runs or where corporate branding or identity is paramount to the aesthetics of the final product.
Thermal printers would be selected over their impact dot matrix equivalents where faster speed, higher resolution, greater reliability, lower cost and quiet operation is demanded.
