It prints at 10 characters per inch across 40 columns at a speed of 160 lines per minute, using a 16 x 20 pixel print head on 4.25" paper.
Design and Maintenance: The printer features a low maintenance modular design, allowing for individual component testing and quick repairs. It employs a solid-state print head with no moving parts, enhancing reliability. Built-in test capabilities facilitate error detection and maintenance.
Key Benefits: The printer operates with minimal consumables, reducing costs. It uses aviation-proven technology and is compliant with ASTM and TAPPI standards, ensuring reliable operation under extreme conditions. The paper is resistant to smudging, sticking, and degradation from solvents, and remains legible after prolonged sunlight exposure. Quiet operation minimizes crew distraction.
Technical Specifications: The printer is ARINC 740 compliant and FANS compatible, with easy paper loading and variable power control panel backlighting. It supports multiple colors and external alerts. The MTBF is 10,000 to 15,000 hours, depending on configuration. It offers print resolutions of 150 dpi, with speeds of 160 lines per minute, and supports various character formats and fonts.
Configurations: The printer is available in several configurations, with part numbers indicating ARINC 429 FANS compatibility and color options (gray, brown, black). Each configuration supports 12 channels.
Physical and Power Specifications: The printer dimensions are 5.75"W x 6"H x 7.5"D, weighing 9.5 lbs with paper. It requires 115 Vac power input and consumes 22 Watts in idle mode and 40 Watts during printing. No cooling is required due to convective design.
Performance Standards: The printer meets DO160E standards for thermal, vibration, and radiated RF emissions.

TP4840 PRINTER-1

KEY BENEFITS: Minimum consumables, lowest printer operating cost Employs proven aviation printer technology Paper tested to 95% humidity and temperature extremes of -15 to 71°C Paper tested and certified to comply with ASTM (American Society of Testing & Materials) and TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry) standards for reliable operation with printer Paper print will not smudge and adjacent forms will not stick together Paper resists degradation when exposed to solvents such as water, gasoline, oil and grease. Paper print legible after long exposure to direct sunlight Certified on large population of air transport and business jets Quiet printer operation will not distract crew The most compact printer available for installation on flight-deck, in bulkhead, partition, video control center or purser station. Miltope's TP-4429 thermal printer is the most compact printer available for reliable operation in congested cockpits. In normal operation, 10 characters per inch are printed in 40 columns at a rate of 160 lines per minute. High resolution characters are printed using a 16 x 20 pixel print head, generating a hard copy on 4.25" paper. A paper cutting edge facilitates paper tear off at the end of print job. The front panel indicators provide visible viewing under all cockpit lighting conditions. Low Maintenance Modular Design Use of modular components allows individual bench-testing of components to facilitate turnaround time during repair. Reliability is optimized utilizing a solid-state, multiple function print head that has no moving parts. Extensive built-in test capabilities allow error detection during operation and can be used for depot level maintenance.
