MP400/MP500 Series 9 Needle Impact Mechanism

Introduction

The MP400 and MP500 are a range of bi-directional, logic seeking impact printer mechanisms designed for high speed printing and reliability. The MP400 offers a print speed of 5 lines per second at 24 or 30 columns on paper of 45 or 58mm wide. The MP500 offers a speed of 4 lines per second at 30 or 42 columns on paper of 58 or 76mm wide.

The six position black mark/paper end sensors are supplied as standard on both models and there is also the option of a second sensor available for surface or reverse black mark sensing. The built-in, serrated edge tear bar and highly reliable 9 million lines MCBF and a head life of 100 million characters, make these high performance mechanisms the first choice for many applications.
