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, CTE651XNEWX, is white with a USB interface and a free slot for an optional Ethernet, Wi-Fi or serial interface card; it comes with a Citizen AC adapter and a power cord with an EU (Schuko) plug – the USB cable is not included.
