The Citizen CT-E301 is a compact, fast 80 mm thermal receipt printer with an antibacterial, disinfectant-resistant housing – ideal for retail checkouts, restaurants, kitchens, pharmacies and healthcare counters. It prints sharp 203 dpi receipts at up to 250 mm/s on 80 or 58 mm paper, cuts them cleanly with a full/partial auto-cutter and takes up only 125 × 165 mm of counter space. This version, CTE301X3EWX, is white with USB, serial (RS-232) and Ethernet (LAN) interfaces (triple interface); it comes with an external power supply and a power cord with an EU plug – the interface cable is not included.
