Star Micronics TSP100LAN - Reliability

– 30 –
10-6. Reliability
1) Life Mechanical : 20 million lines
Head : 100 million pulses, 100 km
(±15% max. average head resistance uctuation)
For 2-color printing, 50 million pulses, 50 km
(±15% max. average head resistance uctuation)
Auto cutter : 1 million cuttings
(provided the paper thickness is between 65 and 85 µm)
*
All the reliability values indicated above are based on the use of
the recommended thermal paper. No reliability can be guaranteed
for the use of non-recommended thermal paper.
<Conditions>
Average printing ratio : 12.5%
Recommended thermal paper : 65
µm
2) MCBF: 60 million lines
e Mean Cycle Between Failure (MCBF) is dened to be the overall failure cycle, which
includes random or wear failures that occur until the printer reaches its mechanical life of
20 million lines.
*
As the mechanical remains at 20 million lines, the MCBF of 60 million lines does not
indicate its useful life.
