Optional Accessories

♦Serial (RS-232) cable

♦External media suppler (for media roll with max. 8 inch OD)

♦Peel and Present

♦Flash memory

♦Font board

♦Extension RAM ++ (0.5M for models FM402DT, FM402TT and FM403TT and 1M for the FM403TT model)

Notes:

**: Since this printer uses band buffers technology the maximum print length depends on the printout contents. Text and bar code printing typically allow long label lengths up to 30 inches or more. Extensive use of graphics may reduce the maximum label length to approximately 10 inches.

++: The Peel and Present, Cutter, expansion RAM and flash memory options are all installed at factory. As the extension RAM, font board and flash modules use the same connector, only one may be installed at a time.
