6 What is ARCP? Active Ribbon Control & Positioning Printed with ARCP Accurate print positioning Print accurately in boxes Print near to edge of labels Smudges & black marks No Ribbon Wrinkle No stripes through text & barcodes No faulty barcodes causing downtime No smudges or black marks No leading and trailing edge smudging Clean, professional output Ribbon wrinkle Inaccurate positioning Printed without ARCP

7 How does ARCP work? The variation in tension between start and end of the ribbon is related to the size of the rolls. By keeping even tension on ribbon at all times from start to end of the ribbon Small used ribbon roll Large unused ribbon Simpler to change ribbons No setup or adjustment required Less user training Lower operational costs Large used roll Small unused ARCP automatically balances this tension to give better print quality and no ribbon wrinkle

8 Power & Connectivity Features Standard interfaces Serial RS232C - industry standard - up to 115,000 baud / bps USB - the new industry standard - Windows plug-and-play Internal power supply Integral internal power supply for greater reliability and safety. NO external brick (which is easily unplugged, unreliable & less powerful) Optional Interfaces - Networking Undo two screws and remove the blanking plate. Pull out the option interface cable inside each printer. Replace with an optional Ethernet, Wireless LAN or Parallel interface

9 All Metal Mechanism Full metal mechanism To ensure the highest reliability, the mechanism is a self-contained unit made from metal. Citizen s policy of engineering excellence ensures the most robust design. It also means that it is easy to recycle compared to plastic mechanism printers.

Ink side in or out. Print Speed 6 ips, 150 mm/second 4 ips, 100 mm / second (CL-S621 will do 6ips in DT mode) Media Width Media capacity Media Sensor Fonts Memory Interface 4.1 inch, 104 mm printable width, 4.65 inch, 118 mm media width 5 inch (125 mm) internal paper roll. 8 inch (200mm) external roll holder. Adjustable sensor as standard, both see-through (gap) and black-mark Scalable & Smooth on board including true-type font support as standard 16Mb RAM, 4Mb Flash on board At least 1Mb RAM and 1Mb flash available for user download RS232C Serial & USB standard 1284 Parallel, Ethernet and Wireless LAN are easy-install options

12 Adjustable Media Sensor Flexible Media Capabilities The adjustable sensor is designed to pick up unusually shaped labels. A leftfixed sensor (red line) would miss this label. A middle-fixed sensor (blue line) would work as would an adjustable sensor (green line) Adjustable Sensor The standard sensor is adjustable from the left to the centre of the media allowing for all media types. It is a see-through (label gap and notch) and reflective (black mark) sensor A left-fixed sensor (red line) would potentially miss this label. A middlefixed sensor (blue line) would not work as it only see the central gap between labels. Only the adjustable sensor (green line) would work.

13 Cut & Peel Options Peeler Option New generation peeler with label taken sensor has silicone rollers for better anti-clogging with glue. Cutter Option High speed guillotine auto-cutter. Especially good for ticketing Cutter and peeler are easily connected without opening the main printer case.

14 Typical Applications CL-S521 Parcel Shipping Mail Shot Labelling Food & Date Coding Ticketing CL-S621 General Office Use Stock Labelling Vehicle Licence Plates Banner Printing Retail Point-Of-Sale (Alternative for mini printer applications)

15 Typical Applications CL-S631 Wristband Printing EAN Barcodes (Retail) Rating Plates / Serial Numbers / Asset Labels Compliance Logos (CE / WEEE) Any Small Labels 2D barcoding

16 Printing Capacity Typical Label Size: 4 x 4 (100 x 100mm) Technically, the printers are capable of: One label per second 60 labels per minute 3600 labels per hour (continuous run) 2880 labels per day (10% running, 8 hours / day) Typical Label Size: 4 x 4 (100 x 100mm) Internal 5-inch roll, 1-inch core Typically 750 labels per roll = Continuous running would use a roll every 12.5 minutes! External 8-inch roll, 3-inch core = 1500 labels/roll = Continuous running uses a roll every 25 minutes

17 How many labels per day? Realistic Suggested Usage: 2 rolls of media per day (internal rolls) Approximately 6,000 inches (150,000 mm) per day To calculate usage in labels: Divide 6,000 by label length in inches Or divide 150,000 by label length in mm For example: 2 inch long labels (address labels) 6,000 / 2 = 3,000 labels per day (or 150,000 / 50 mm) For example: 6 inch long labels (courier labels) 6,000 / 6 = 1,000 labels per day (or 150,000 / 150 mm) If there is more than one label per row, just multiply result by labels per row.

18 Printer & Head Warranty Two Year Warranty Two year warranty on the printer (excluding print head) Print head warranty is: 50Km in thermal transfer mode 30Km in direct thermal mode Or 6 months, whichever comes soonest Warranty = minimum life reality will be more Why not include free lifetime print heads? Typical 4 x4 labels: 750 per roll = 75metres / roll Assume minimum distance of 50Km = 666 rolls The reality is likely to many more rolls Print head cost per roll = 0.28 or 0.18 list price Include as part of the media roll cost Keeps customer loyal to your consumable supply

19 Network Cards Compact Ethernet 10 / 100 full and half-duplex auto or manual configuration. Mainly for Windows printing on port 9100 Standard Ethernet 10 and 100 Mbps speeds, auto sensing.

20 Cutter Installation Cutter Option The autocutter is ordered as one part number from Citizen: Part white colour, Part grey colour. The cutter itself is supplied in two parts the mounting frame (right) and cutter unit (left) Installation The cutter is easily installed with a crosspoint screwdriver. There is no need to open the main case of the printer, just a connector and side cover. Auto-Configuration The printer will automatically sense the cutter has been installed and enable it straight away. The cutter is ideal for tickets, tags and labels.

21 Peeler Installation Peeler Option New generation peeler with label taken sensor The peeler now has silicone rollers for better anti-clogging with glue. Citizen part number Installation The peeler is easily installed with a crosspoint screwdriver. There is no need to open the main case of the printer, just a connector and side cover. Auto-Configuration The printer will automatically sense the peeler has been installed and enable it straight away.

22 Narrow Media & Wristbands Citizen printers are designed for narrow media Large wide media holder plate pressing against wide side-wall of printer How NOT to handle narrow media Some other manufacturers printers are not particularly well suited to holding wristbands ( spaghetti ) Fully adjustable media sensor (needed for unusually shaped media). Expensive media gets damaged and stuck too easily Narrowest adjustment point still not good enough for paediatric wristbands. Media adjuster capable of narrow media of 12.5mm (½-inch)
