4) Ultra small connectors, designed to conform with FFCs, and miniature driver chips have been used. Although the resulting printheads are surprisingly compact and lightweight, they can be used with large platens of up to 20 mm in diameter. 5) One rank resistance value of 800Ω ± 3% eliminates the inconvenience of rank selection. 6) The required driving voltage of 3.15 to 5.25V allows wide range of power supply voltage setting. This also allows multiple choice of electronic components for printers. 7) 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch series are available.
