1-2. Operating conditions
Operating voltage: + 5Vdc ± 5%
Power consumption: At operation: No more than 3.0A (instantaneous maximum value
during printing)
At wait: About No more than about 50 mA
Working temperature: 0 to + 50℃
Storage temperature: -40 to + 60℃
Allowable humidity: 40℃ 85%
About the power supply:
The μTP power supply standards are as specified above. Consider an instantaneous
maximum current of 3.0A during printing. (+5V-VP, Vcc, GND･four lines)
When sharing the power supply with the host system, take measures to avoid possible system
problems due to instantaneous voltage drop (A significant transient voltage drop can be
estimated).
