Citizen CL-S521II/CL-S531II
Industrial desktop printing for labels and wristbands

All-Metal Hi-Lift Mechanism
Citizen’s all-metal Hi-Lift mechanism combines durable construction with wide access to the media path. The Hi-Open case lifts vertically, so loading and servicing do not require extra space beside the printer.
Compact Design with Internal Power
The power supply is built into the printer, keeping an external power brick off the workstation. Both models hold a 5-inch label roll internally for direct-thermal desktop printing.
