The Citizen CL-E720DT (1000852) is a cost-effective 4-inch industrial label printer that fits where floor space is tight: its Hi-Open™ metal case lifts vertically, so the footprint stays the same when it is open. This version prints direct thermal at 203 dpi and up to 200 mm/s (8 ips), takes label rolls up to 200 mm (8") on 1"–3" cores, and has USB and Ethernet built in plus a free slot for an optional Wi-Fi, serial or parallel card.
