This device combines a space-saving design with robust performance, offering a print resolution of 203 x 203 DPI and a consistent print speed of 80 mm/sec.

How to use

To begin using the Citizen CT-S280, connect the printer to your POS terminal using the appropriate interface cable and plug the power supply into a standard AC outlet.
