Custom FH190 Impact Panel Printer **DISCONTINUED**

UPDATE: October 2022 - Custom have announced the end of life (eol) of the FH190 range of impact panel printers. There is an alternative range of printers (MLX-PM190II) with a very similar but not exactly the same form factor. Please note, migration to this range would also require modifications to data and power connectors and also changes in software.

The FH190 from Custom SpA is based on the Epson M190 or M192 impact dot matrix printer mechanisms. Paper loading and ribbon changing is from the panel front for easy maintenance.

Available in 24 or 40 column formats, the FH190 is also available with a choice of 5VDC or 9 to 40VDC variable voltage powered versions.

The FH190 range includes a Real Time Clock for automatic time stamping functions.
