Citizen CT-E651 — receipt printer built for daily hard use

The Citizen CT-E651 is a direct thermal receipt printer designed to keep up with the busiest moments in cafés, restaurants, and retail shops. The auto-cutter trims every receipt cleanly after each print — no tearing, no fussing behind the counter.

Prints fast enough that the queue keeps moving

At 300 mm/s, the receipt is in your customer's hand before they've had a chance to ask for it. With 203 dpi resolution and a maximum print width of 72 mm, even long order lists come out clear and readable.

Connects to the till however yours is set up

The CT-E651 carries USB, USB Host, and Lightning ports, so it works equally well with a traditional PC-based POS and an iPad till. The RJ12 port lets you connect a cash drawer directly to the printer — one less cable to route elsewhere. ESC/POS command support means it works with the most common POS software without any extra driver configuration.

Compact enough to fit any counter

Standard 80 mm paper rolls fit straight in — maximum roll diameter is 83 mm, so you can pick up replacement paper from any cash-and-carry. The printer ships with a power supply unit and EU power cable included, so you can have it on the counter and printing the same day the box arrives.

Warranty and origin

Manufactured in China, the CT-E651 comes with a 24-month warranty. If anything goes wrong during that period, Vaivatta will help you through the warranty process — get in touch and we will sort it out together.

Who is the CT-E651 for?

This printer is particularly well suited to business owners running their till on an iPad or another iOS device and needing a reliable receipt printer with a Lightning connection. It works just as well on a conventional USB-based till. If you want a receipt printer that handles the daily workload without constant adjustment, this is a straightforward choice.
