Description

The Citizen CT-S2000 is a high-speed and feature-rich barcode label printer designed for demanding applications in retail, logistics, and hospitality environments. Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities:

Printing Performance:

• Print Method: Thermal – This method utilizes heat-sensitive labels (direct thermal) or a ribbon with ink (thermal transfer) to create durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, and chemicals.
• Resolution: 203 dpi (dots per inch) – This delivers good quality for most applications, producing clear text and readable barcodes.
• Print Speed: Up to 220 millimeters (8.7 inches) per second – This exceptional speed ensures efficient printing for high-volume label production.

Media Handling:

• Media Width: The CT-S2000 can handle labels with widths ranging from 58 millimeters (2.3 inches) to 82.5 millimeters (3.25 inches), accommodating various label sizes commonly used in shipping and product identification.
• Media Thickness: It supports labels from 0.0635 millimeters (0.0025 inches) to 0.254 millimeters (0.01 inches) thick.
• Media Roll Size: The printer accepts rolls up to 102 millimeters (4 inches) in diameter with a core size of 25.4 millimeters (1 inch).

Design and Usability:

• Fast Paper Exit: The front-exit design allows for quick and easy label retrieval.
• Large Capacity Media Loading: With a drop-in design and a maximum roll diameter of 102 mm, the CT-S2000 minimizes downtime for media changes.
• Quick-Clear™ Technology: This feature facilitates effortless clearing of jams for smooth operation and minimal interruptions.
