The Citizen CT-S4500 is a 4-inch (112 mm) thermal receipt printer for retail, hospitality, kiosks and betting counters that need wider receipts, tickets or reports. It prints at up to 200 mm/s in 203 dpi, handles receipt, label and ticket media from 58 to 112 mm wide and – thanks to its compress driver – can even replace an A4 printer by scaling documents down to receipt width. This version, CTS4500XNEBX, is black with USB as standard and a free option slot for a Bluetooth, Ethernet, Wi-Fi or RS-232 interface board; it comes with a Citizen AC adapter and a power cord with an EU (Schuko) plug – the USB cable is not included.
