This interface board is similar to the PRN-608 and can also be used with the Fujitsu FTP-628MCL1xx series mechanisms but unlike the PRN-608 the PRN-628 can also drive the FTP-628MCL35x series with convential paper loading and auto cutter option.
It still needs to integrated into oem equipment and so inevitably demands more design and development than an external or even panel mounted printer. However, like other oem solutions, 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.
