Citizen Systems Europe, the leading manufacturer of label, barcode and dot-matrix printers, has launched its CL–S703 and CL–S700R industrial label printer at Gitex 2008.

The CL-S703 features a 300 dpi printhead making it ideal for high speed and high resolution label printing. The 300 dpi head means it is compatible with EAN barcodes required for point-of-sale compatible barcodes.

The CL-S700R features in innovative front-loading rewinder which can be used for printing labels on demand, automatically peeling the printed labels from the backing paper, saving you time, and neatly rewinding the backing paper back into the printer.   Alternatively, batches of printed labels can be taken back into the machine and rewound onto the spool with the roll then being stored until required.

The printer’s innovative yet easy-to-load rewinder only needs access from the front of the printer, eliminating the frustration of feeding the backing paper all the way to the back of the unit, common in other manufacturer’s machines. 

Like all of the Citizen CL-S700 printers, the new models are ideal for use where space is restricted, with all of the standard operations, including paper loading, accessible from the front of the printer. The machine’s Hi-Open™ metal casing minimises the footprint of the printer, providing easy access and simple media loading while maintaining the compact dimensions of the unit. Furthermore, Hi-Lift™ mechanism opens to 90 degrees making ribbon loading quick and effortless.

The CL-S700R is capable of printing up to 10 inches per second whereas the higher resolution CL-S703 runs at 8 inches per second. Both featuring a clear, flat paper path, which increases efficiency and productivity in a diverse range of applications. Due to the printer’s easy to use design, it takes just 10 seconds to change the media, making the time needed to change media and ribbons up to 10 times faster than that of competing printers.

The new printer features parallel, serial and USB interfaces as standard, and internal Ethernet and Wireless LAN options can be added in a minute, providing remote control, configuration and monitoring of the printer.
