Citizen CT S801II Barcode Label Printer

Description

The Citizen CT-S801II is a high-speed barcode label printer designed for demanding applications in retail, logistics, and warehousing environments. Here’s a breakdown of its key functionalities:

Printing Performance:

• Print Method: Thermal – This method utilizes either heat-sensitive labels (direct thermal) or a ribbon with ink (thermal transfer) for creating 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 300 millimeters (11.8 inches) per second – This exceptional speed ensures efficient printing for high-volume label production tasks.

Media Handling:

• Media Width: The CT-S801II can handle labels with widths ranging from 58 millimeters (2.3 inches) to 80 millimeters (3.15 inches), accommodating various commonly used label sizes for 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 83 millimeters (3.3 inches) in diameter with a core size of 25.4 millimeters (1 inch).

Design and Usability:

• Top Paper Exit: The design allows for quick and easy retrieval of printed labels, minimizing workflow disruptions.
• Large Capacity Media Loading: The drop-in media loading design with a maximum roll diameter of 83 mm facilitates efficient media changes and minimizes downtime.
• Quick-Clear™ Technology: This feature enables effortless clearing of jams for smooth operation and minimal interruptions during high-volume printing tasks.
• Durable Construction: The CT-S801II features a robust build with a long-lasting printhead (estimated to last for 200 million pulses or 150 kilometers of printing) to withstand demanding printing environments.

Connectivity:

• Standard Interfaces: The CT-S801II comes equipped with standard interfaces like USB 2.0 and Serial (RS-232C) for connection to computers and point-of-sale systems.
• Optional Interfaces: Additionally, it offers optional interface cards for Ethernet (wired network), Parallel (IEEE 1284), and ESC/POS command support for wider connectivity options.

Additional Features:

• Automatic Cutter: The built-in, high-quality cutter ensures reliable and precise label separation, ideal for high-volume printing tasks.
• Sensor Options (Model Dependent): Some models might include black mark and gap sensors for more accurate label registration during printing.
• Emulations: The printer supports various printer languages (emulations) like ESC/POS™ and JavaPOS™, simplifying integration with existing label design software.
