Thank you for purchasing a Citizen CL-series label printer offering high performance printing at up to 10 inches
per second on media up to 4.65 inches wide.
❚❚❚ Main Features ❚❚❚
<Easy Access - Easy Operation>
The printer is designed for all day-to-day operations to be accessible from the front of the
printer so there is no need to move items near to the printer for access for media loading.
<Hi-OpenTM printer case>
The main printer’s case lifts directly upwards meaning that no space is needed on either side of
the printer. The power switch is located in a recessed panel at the front of the printer so it can
be easily accessed without moving the printer.
<The Easiest Media Loading>
The Hi-LiftTM metal print head mechanism opens so that it is completely clear of the media path
so that the paper and ribbons can be loaded without any part of the printer in the way.
<Easy Printer Control and Configuration>
The clear, easy-to-see backlit LCD makes both configuration and operation easy with simple
messages about the printer’s status and also the ability for quick configuration when needed.
<Flexible Media Usage>
The printer features an adjustable media sensor which allows the customer to use any type of
media. The media (label) rolls can be inside or outside would. Similarly, the ink ribbon can be
wound either way: ‘ink in’ or ‘in out’.
<Optimum Ribbon Tension>
The patented ARCPTM function - Active Ribbon Control and Positioning - maintains even ribbon
tension from beginning to end of a ribbon. This eliminates ribbon wrinkle and improves print
positioning, especially for small labels. Smudging caused by ribbon slippage is also removed.
<Dual Programming Language>
This printer contains both the Datamax® and Zebra® emulations. By using the keys on the
operation panel, it is easy to simply switch between the two emulations to meet your program.
<Interfaces and Options>
Parallel, Serial and USB interfaces are supplied as standard and optional Ethernet and Wireless
LAN boards can be fitted quickly and easily. An auto-cutter and peeler option is also available
and can be easily installed.
<Easy Rewinder operation> (CL-S700R only)
The internal rewinder is easily accessed from the front of the printer and it can be used for
winding liner or printed batches of labels.

General Precautions
Caution
• Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
• Do not drop or put foreign matter such as clips and pins into the printer. This may cause problems.
• Be careful when moving or carrying the printer. Dropping the printer may cause injury or property
damage.
• Make sure if you open the top cover, it is opened all the way. If only partially open, the cover could
slam shut, possibly causing injury.
• When the cover is open, be careful of the corners of the cover. They could cause injury.
• Do not open the printer during printing.
• When cleaning the surface of the printer case, do not use the cloth that is soaked in thinner,
trichloroethylene, benzine, ketone or similar chemicals.
• Do not use the printer where there is a lot of oil, iron particles, or dust.
• Do not spill liquids or spray insecticide on the printer.
• Do not jolt or impact to the printer by stepping on, dropping or hitting the printer.
• Operate the control panel properly. A careless, rough handling may cause problems or malfunction.
Do not use such sharp-edged tool as a ballpoint pen for operation.
• Be careful of the edges of the plates so injury or property damage is possible.
• If a problem occurs during printing, stop the printer immediately and unplug the power cord from
the outlet.
• When printer trouble occurs, do not try to dissemble it. Instead, consult our service personnel.
Precautions When Installing the Printer
Caution
• Prior to operation, read the safety instructions carefully and observe them.
• Do not use or store the printer near fire, excessive moisture, in direct sunlight, near an air conditioner
or heater or other source of unusually high or low temperature or humidity or excessive dust.
• Do not place the printer where chemical reactions occur, such as in a laboratory.
• Do not place the printer where air is mixed with salt or gas.
• The printer must sit on a firm, level surface where there is ample ventilation. Never allow the printer's
air vent to be blocked by a wall or other object.
• Do not put anything on the top of printer.
• Do not place the printer near a radio or television, and do not use the same wall outlet for the
printer and radio or television. Radio or television reception could be adversely affected.
• Use the power cord supplied with the product. Never use the power cord for other product.
• Do not put anything on the power cord or step on it.
• Do not drag or carry the printer with the power cord or interface cable.
• Avoid plugging the power cord into an outlet with many loads.
• Do not bundle the power cord when inserting the plug.
• Always grip the plug housing, not the cord, to plug/unplug the power cord.
• Make certain the power is turned off before connecting/disconnecting the interface cable.
• Avoid lengthening the signal cable or connecting it to any noise-producing device. If it is unavoidable,
use the shielded cable or twisted pair for each signal.
• Place the printer near the outlet where the power cord can be unplugged easily to shut off power.
• Use the AC outlet that accepts a three-pronged plug. Otherwise, static electricity may be generated
and there will be danger of electric shock.

Confirmation of Carton Contents
Removing the Packing Material
The printer is shipped with adhesive tape in place to hold the top cover
closed. Simply remove the two pieces of tape on either side of the top cover.
Then simply open the cover by lifting up and tipping it backwards.
There is another strip of adhesive tape that must be removed which holds
the mechanism closed for shipping. Remove the tape and attached paper by
carefully peeling from the plastic case.
Retain the tape should you need to transport the printer again. A further
piece of packing paper is inside the mechanism and you can remove this
when the head is opened as explained later in the manual.
Check that the following accessories are included with the printer
in the carton.

Caution
• Be careful when moving or carrying the printer and when taking the
printer out of the carton. The printer may cause injury or property
damage if dropped. Be sure to grip the printer housing firmly when
taking it out of the carton. Do not grip the printer by the foam packing
material which may break, causing the printer to drop.
• When opening the cover, open it all the way. If only part way open,
the cover could slam shut, possibly causing injury.
• Be careful of the edge of the cover when the cover is opened. It may
cause injury or property damage.
• Be careful of the edges of the metal plates as injury or property
damage is possible.

Connection to a Computer
This product has three interfaces that can be used to receive printing data: a
serial port (RS232C), parallel port (IEEE1284, Non-L. P. S.), and a USB port
(USB1.1). An optional internal network interface can be added by your
dealer.
To connect the cable, proceed as follows:
1. Turn OFF both power switches of the printer and the computer.
2. Connect one end of the interface cable to the interface
connector on the back of the printer and secure it with locks or
locking screws, where available.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the interface
connector on the computer and secure it with locks or locking
screws, where available.

• When it is pushed during printing, the printer pauses after the label
currently being printed is issued. Pressing the key a second time restarts
printing and the remaining number of designated labels are printed.
2 FEED key: Feeds media
• Pressing this key feeds media to the print start position. The distance
it is fed is determined by automatically detecting the front end of the
media when using label media, and when continuous media has been
designated, a fixed quantity is fed, then feeding stops.
• When the TEAR OFF setting is effective, feeding stops when the media
has been fed to the TEAR OFF location.
• When the optional cutter unit is installed, the media is fed to the cut
position then it is cut.
• If the optional peeler unit is installed, the media is fed to the peeling
location. When the media is pausing at the peeling position, feeding
does not occur, even if the FEED key is pushed.
3 STOP key: It stops printing and cancels the alarm
Pushing this key once during printing puts the printer in pause mode
