Citizen CBM-920II Dot Matrix Printer (CBM920II40PFDC)

The Citizen CBM-920II is a compact panel-mount impact dot matrix printer designed to be built into machines, kiosks, measuring instruments and vending or ticketing equipment. It prints on 57.5 mm plain-paper rolls (also 2-ply), loads paper automatically and fits a 109 × 62 mm panel cut-out with a depth of just 119 mm. This version, CBM920II40PFDC, prints 40 columns per line (more text per ticket) at 1.8 lines/s and has a parallel (Centronics-compatible) interface; it runs on 5 V DC from the host equipment and comes with an open-ended interface/power harness and a mounting rack – no power supply is included.

Key Features

• Built for integration – panel-mount design for a 109 × 62 mm cut-out; the supplied rack, brackets and screws make installation in a front panel quick and secure.
• Automatic paper loading – just insert the end of the paper and the printer feeds it in; a paper-end sensor reports when the roll is empty.
• Parallel (Centronics-compatible) – 8-bit parallel data with STB/BUSY/ACK handshaking for embedded controllers and legacy systems with a printer port.
• Impact printing on plain paper – no thermal paper needed; prints on 57.5 mm plain or 2-ply copy paper, with printouts that resist heat and sunlight.
• Runs on 5 V DC – powered directly by the host machine through the same harness as the data lines; no separate mains adapter needed inside your equipment.
• 24 or 40 columns – large characters (24 columns, 2.5 lines/s) or more text per line (40 columns, 1.8 lines/s); bit-image graphics for simple logos.
• Flexible configuration – memory switches, CBM-920 and iDP3110 emulation, 2 KB input buffer, 14 international character sets and code pages such as PC437, 852, 858, 866 and WPC1252.
• Compact and robust – 115 × 65 mm front, 119 mm deep, approx. 500 g; MCBF up to 1.5 million lines.
