Main Features

Optimum ribbon tension

The Active Ribbon Control & Positioning technology used in this printer gives improved print quality with a wide range of media and ribbon combinations. ARCP is designed to eliminate ribbon wrinkling and slippage. Thus print registration and positioning especially with small labels are improved.

When a ribbon is initially installed, the source ribbon spool is considerably larger than the destination spool. By the end of the ribbon, this situation is reversed leading to noticeable variations in ribbon tension. Our new ARCP technology is designed specifically to eliminate this effect by equalizing the ribbon tension throughout the print run.

High-speed, high-quality printing

This printer adopts both a direct-thermal and thermal-transfer printing system with the line thermal head and its unique control IC enables high-speed and high-quality printing.

Powerful control language

A powerful yet simple to use control language is standard to all of Citizen's label printers allowing easy design of labels and bar codes. Alternatively, Citizen provides printer drivers for popular operating systems such as Windows(tm).

Easy operation

Thanks to the clam-shell mechanism, labels, media and ribbons are loaded easily and maintenance such as head cleaning is carried out smoothly.

IEEE1284 Parallel, serial and USB ports as the standard

The enhanced parallel, serial and USB ports are provided as the standard to enable high-speed data transmitting and industry compatible connectivity.

Adjustable sensor

The adjustable, moveable sensor, standard on the CLP-7201e, allows irregularly cut labels and tags to be used with ease. The sensor can also detect black registration marks that are not at the edge of the media.

LAN Ethernet and WiFi (optional)

The LAN Ethernet and WiFi interfaces are optionally available to meet the variety of needs of computer-printer network.
