New Citizen POS printer for fast and accurate 2D barcodes

Citizen Systems Europe, a leading manufacturer of high quality label, barcode and industrial printers, has extended its range of Point of Sale printers with a new thermal receipt printer. The CT-S281 is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for a wide range of POS applications, and can print both conventional and two-dimensional barcodes quickly and easily. The printer is the first low-voltage model from Citizen, ensuring safe and energy efficient operation.

The CT-S281 has been designed to be easy to use and provide long, low maintenance service life. Media can be changed in moments and an auto-cutter makes presenting labels, receipts and documentation simple. In addition, the CT-S281 features serial and USB interfaces, so that it can be easily incorporated into existing applications.

The new printer is capable of printing speeds of up to 80 mm/sec, producing both text and graphics quickly and accurately. The CT-S281 is compatible with a wide range of media types and sizes, up to 58 mm in width and between 60 and 100 microns in thickness.

The innovative POS printer uses Citizen’s latest MLT-4280 mechanism, which incorporates a zinc-plated die cast frame. This results in excellent shock-resistance, anti-static properties, and low heat build-up, eliminating the most common causes of poor print quality. The CT-S281 printer, available in both white and dark grey, can be held in the hand or mounted on a wall, depending on the specific needs of an application.
