Here are the specifications for the JX-2R-01 Thermal Printhead with 6cm Ribbon Cable, based on the manufacturer’s datasheet and technical guides. The JX-2R-01 is a widely used 58mm mini thermal printer mechanism designed for POS terminals and portable printers. It is a purely mechanical “execution unit” that requires external control circuitry for power, data, and motor driving. Datasheet

High Reliability: Features a one-piece metal frame, metal gear shaft, and a print lifetime of over 50km for stable, long-term use.
Low Noise: Uses a brushless stepper motor and high/low-temperature resistant gears for quiet operation.
Integrated Sensors: Includes a built-in thermistor for printhead over-temperature protection and a reflective sensor for paper-out detection.
Versatile Compatibility: Electrically and structurally compatible with FTP-628MCL101, LTP01-245-11, and PT486F-B101 mechanisms.
Wide Power Supply: Supports a logic voltage range of 2.7V to 5.25V and a motor/head power range of 3.15V to 8.5V, offering flexibility for various system designs.
Dual Power Supplies Required: The printhead requires two separate power supplies: VDD for logic (typically 3.3V or 5V) and VH for the heating elements (typical ~7.6V, capable of peak currents >2A). These must have a specific power-on sequence to avoid malfunction.
Stepper Motor Drive: The motor is 4-wire, 2-phase and requires a 1-2 phase drive with PWM control for smooth operation. Avoid constant voltage drive to prevent overheating.
Data Transfer & Heating: Print data is loaded via a serial interface (SPI-like) over 384 CLK cycles. After loading, the LAT pin locks the data, and the STB pins (STB1~STB6) control heating duration to achieve different print densities.
Ribbon Cable: The printhead connects to the control board via a flexible printed circuit (FPC) cable. The 6CM cable you specified is a common variant used for board-to-board connections. The cable typically has 30 pins and is used with a ZIF connector on the PCB
