Citizen printers User Manual

Citizen has been making dot matrix printers for more than twenty

years so our experience in this business is truly vast.

Our printers are split in to two ranges - the Swift and Prodot

printers. The Swift range are ‘traditional’ dot matrix printers which

feed the paper round the platten, whereas the Prodot range are

flatbed products, ideal for more specialist media

Versatile

If you need the most flexible media

handling, we recommend the Prodot

range. They accept a wide variety of

media from 7-part forms to business

cards and also have the ability to

automatically adjust media thickness and

align media that is not inserted correctly.

High Performance

For fast, high performance printing, the Swift range is designed as a

‘desktop workhorse printer’. As well as a range of paper feeding

options such as rear or bottom feed, paper parking, zero-tear-off,

the Swifts are built with tried-and-tested reliability which causes

our customers to come back to us time-

and-time again for more

products.

Superior Connectivity

For adaptability and

connectivity in different

applications and environments,

the printers are equipped with

parallel ports as standard. The

Prodots and the Swift 120e also have a serial

port as standard and this can be added as an option on all the rest.

Additionally, an external Ethernet adapter can be used to network

our printers.
