Citizen CT-E351, USB, Ethernet, 8 dots/mm (203 dpi), black

Citizen CT-E351 receipt printer — a reliable workhorse for your counter

The Citizen CT-E351 is a direct thermal receipt printer built to handle the demands of daily use in cafés, restaurants, and retail shops. Receipts exit from the front, so you can tuck the printer into a tight corner of your checkout counter without paper jamming or folding awkwardly.

Connect it to your POS system via USB or Ethernet — whichever fits how your setup is wired. That means it works equally well next to a standalone till or as part of a networked POS solution.

What's in the box

The printer ships with a power supply unit and power cable (EU plug). The interface cable is ordered separately — make sure to pick up the right USB or Ethernet cable depending on how you plan to connect it to your till.

Why this printer holds up in everyday use

Direct thermal printing means there are no ink cartridges or ribbons involved. Maintenance comes down to swapping the paper roll — no monthly consumable orders, no unexpected downtime in the middle of a busy Friday evening. At 250 mm/s, the print speed keeps up comfortably when the queue is moving fast and every second at the counter counts.

The Ethernet connection is particularly useful if your POS runs over a network or if you want to share the printer between more than one device. USB is the straightforward choice when the printer is dedicated to a single till.

Citizen equipment has a long track record in professional use, and this model comes with a two-year warranty.
