Citizen CL-S700

The Citizen CL-S700 series consists of high-performance thermal transfer barcode and label printers. They are designed for industrial-strength applications, offering fast printing speeds of up to 10 inches per second on media up to 4.65 inches wide. The series includes the CL-S700, the high-resolution CL-S703, and the CL-S700R, which features an integrated internal rewinder.

Key Features & Design

  • Hi-Open™ Printer Case: The main case lifts vertically, meaning the printer requires no extra side space for opening, making it ideal for cramped workspaces.

  • Hi-Lift™ Metal Mechanism: The printhead opens wide (90 degrees), leaving the media path completely clear for incredibly easy loading of ribbons and paper.

  • Cross-Emulation: The printer automatically detects and supports both Datamax® and Zebra® emulations, allowing it to integrate into existing systems without complex reprogramming.

  • ARCP™ Technology: The patented Active Ribbon Control and Positioning system maintains consistent ribbon tension to prevent wrinkling and improve print accuracy, especially for small labels.

  • Adjustable Media Sensor: Features a movable sensor that can be positioned to detect various label shapes and sizes, providing flexibility for diverse media types.

Operational Efficiency

  • Front-Access Design: All daily operations, including media loading and power switching, are handled from the front. This eliminates the need to move the printer or surrounding items during routine maintenance.

  • Intuitive Interface: A large, backlit LCD provides clear status messages and allows for quick configuration of settings via the operation panel.

  • Integrated Rewinder (CL-S700R): The “R” model includes an internal rewinder accessible from the front, used for peeling labels or winding up printed batches for high-volume jobs.

  • Standard Connectivity: Comes with Parallel, Serial, and USB interfaces as standard, with options for easy-to-install Ethernet and Wireless LAN boards.

Cost Benefits

  • Space Saving: Because it opens vertically and is operated entirely from the front, it maximizes valuable desk or warehouse space.

  • Reduced Downtime: The easy-loading Hi-Lift™ mechanism and clear LCD status indicators minimize the time spent on media changes and troubleshooting.

  • Versatility: The ability to handle “ink-in” or “ink-out” ribbons, along with inside or outside wound media, allows businesses to use existing stock from different manufacturers, potentially reducing supply costs.

  • Durability: The use of a metal printhead mechanism ensures long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
