Citizen CT-S801

The integrated LCD display is the key for uncomplicated operation by the user. Along with messages and status information, all error messages are shown on the display. The easy navigation is guaranteed via the user button, whereby uninterrupted use is ensured even for untrained personnel. Especially effective is the off-site diagnosis: errors are directly reported from customers and are clearly assigned from them; the users correct the problem themselves using your instructions – breakdowns are thus corrected within a few seconds. Moreover, they conduct maintenance and replacement procedures within a brief time directly on-site: a defective cutter is replaced within 30 seconds, the printer head in 90 seconds.

At up to 300 mm per second, the CT-S801 is the fastest direct thermal POS printer on the market. Your customers optionally print two-colour, high-quality receipts with 203 dpi. Paper widths of 83, 80, 60 and 58 mm as well as paper grades of 65 and 150µm are professionally printed with text, graphics and 2D bar codes. In a split second, the integrated cutter cleanly separates receipts almost noiselessly and makes them available to the user. In addition, complete and partial cuts can be selected using commands. The Quick Clear technology clears paper jams in the cutter module in a single process: if the cutter is jammed from objects or shredded receipts in the cutting area, opening the front cover automatically sets it back in its basic position thanks to the integrated »self-retracting system« and it again is immediately ready for use.

For replacing receipt rolls, the entire cover opens with only one touch, the user has direct access to the periphery of the device and has more room when reloading. Cumbersome threading of receipts is no longer necessary, simply insert and close the lid – finished! The ingenious aspect here: the soft-opening and closing mechanism prevents jammed fingers.

Despite these first-class features of ergonomics and design, the CT-S801 makes a particularly small impression at the POS or office desk with its compact design and the stable dimensions. The PSU is integrated into the housing as standard, reducing cable clutter and avoiding downtimes due to unplugged cables. In the event of damage, the PSU is replaced in a few easy steps. In order to reduce the dimensions even further, if needed you simply disassemble the integrated adapter shell and run it with an external PSU. In order to be able to react flexibly to your needs, you get the CT-S801 standardly with integrated interface module: along with a parallel, serial, USB and Ethernet interface, you can optionally select a powered USB connection as well as a USB hub. A cash drawer connector, as well as an additional RJ-45 port for further peripheral devices such as a customer display, etc. is also included. A change is made simple through adaptation using the included software and the high compatibility of the Citizen mini printers. The printers of the CT series are completely ESC/POS compatible and all required drivers for 2000/XP/Vista/2003 Server, Linux and OPOS are naturally included in the scope of delivery.

Perfectly coordinated with the surroundings at a POS, bar, restaurant or shop, the printers of the CT series are available in black or white. In the scope of delivery, you find everything required for secure and immediate use: along with PSU and power connecter cable, the CT-S801 also has a USB cable (only with the version with USB interface) and a receipt roll for immediate use. A cable and switch cover prevents unintended shutdowns or unplugging of cables, thereby increasing security and stability when being used.
