Citizen CT-E651 POS Receipt Printer (CTE651XAEBX)

The Citizen CT-E651 is a stylish, cube-shaped 80 mm thermal receipt printer with front paper exit, built for busy hospitality and retail counters. It prints sharp 203 dpi receipts at a fast 300 mm/s, cuts them automatically and – at just 125 mm wide and 108 mm tall, the height of a cash drawer – fits neatly beside the drawer or beneath an all-in-one POS terminal. This version, CTE651XAEBX, is black with USB + Lightning for a wired iPad or iPhone connection with charging, plus three USB host ports; it comes with a Citizen AC adapter and a power cord with an EU (Schuko) plug – no cables for connecting an iPad or PC are included.

Key Features

• Super-fast 300 mm/s printing – sharp 203 dpi receipts, logos and barcodes keep queues moving, even at peak times.
• Front exit, top loading – receipts come out at the front, which protects the mechanism from spills and crumbs; drop-in loading for rolls up to 83 mm in diameter.
• Compact cube design – only 125 mm wide and 108 mm tall, the same height as a cash drawer; in black or pure white with LED status indicators.
• USB + Lightning – a wired Lightning connection prints from an iPad, iPad Pro or iPhone and charges it at the same time – no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi pairing needed; three USB host ports connect a barcode scanner, card reader or customer display.
• Auto-retracting guillotine cutter – full or partial cut, rated for 2 million cuts on 80 mm paper.
• 80 or 58 mm paper – the supplied partition switches the printer to 58 mm rolls in seconds.
• Two cash drawers – the RJ12 drawer kick-out port drives up to two 24 V cash drawers that open automatically with every sale.
• Logos and barcodes – 8 MB flash memory with 384 KB for logos and user-defined characters; prints 1D barcodes, GS1 DataBar, PDF417 and QR codes.
• ESC/POS compatible – drivers for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS plus SDKs for iOS, Android and Windows; works with most POS software, including Loyverse.
• Built to last – 200 km print head life and an energy-efficient ENERGY STAR AC adapter (included).
