PHB-CF3 – Toshiba CF3 Printhead Driver Board

PHB-CF3

PHB-CF3 is AEWA printhead driver board for Toshiba CF3 printhead. It connects to AEWA Print Manager Board (APMB) via optical fiber cable which makes the data transfer immune to electromagnetic interference. It can also be run in electrically noisy environments without concern as electrical noise will not affect fiber.

Features

  • Supports Toshiba CF3 printhead (600 dpi, 1278 nozzles).
  • Can print also 2 colors with one printhead.
  • Optical fiber interface for long distances, 600 Mbits/sec.
