Features

The main features of this printer are described below.

Realizing High Productivity

High-speed printing

The speed of the print head and paper feed have been
increased for faster printing.

The printer is equipped with a high-speed rotary cutter
for quick cutting, significantly increasing productivity.

Improved operability with an easy to see and use
color screen

Designed for intuitive operation, the large, brightly-lit,
color LCD display is easy to understand and easy to use.

The large display offers detailed, easy-to-understand
error messages and illustrated guides to loading paper.

“Screen View” on page 16

Checking current operating status even from afar
thanks to an alert lamp

Errors are immediately obvious even at a distance,
thanks to the large, highly visible alert lamp. This helps
prevent any wasted time when printing has stopped due
to running out of ink or paper.

High-capacity Ink Tanks

This printer is equipped with high-capacity ink tanks to
ensure high productivity. Our ink packs for refills are
also provided at a size of 1000 ml. This eliminates the
need to replace ink cartridges so frequently.

Waste Ink Bottle

The SC-F6200 Series is equipped with a Waste Ink
Bottle as standard. This eliminates the need for frequent
Maintenance Box replacement. This also reduces the
amount of wasted plastic.

Insistence on Ease-of-Use

Spindle-free roll paper adapter makes loading roll
paper a snap

The lack of a spindle makes it possible to load and
remove roll paper even in environments where space is
at a premium.
