The CL-S700 is designed with Easy Access in mind from the very beginning.
The Hi-Open case opens vertically meaning that the footprint of the printer does not increase when the cover is open. The printer can be placed between a wall and computer case, for example, and still the case can be opened for media loading.
Ribbon loading is equally quick and easy with the Hi-Lift metal mechanism opening to a full 90° to allow for easy ribbon access.
Ribbons are simply wrapped around the printhead with no need to feed through a complex mechanism.
The CL-S700 works with ribbons up to 450 metres long (1476 feet) either inside or outside wound for maximum flexibility and minimum downtime.
Naturally, an industrial strength printer comes in a heavy duty metal enclosure to ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation.
The printer can hold a full-sized roll of media (8 inches or 200mm outside diameter) on a small core (1 inch or 25mm) for maximum operational up-time.
Continuing the idea of simple, easy access the power switch is conveniently located at the front of the printer. Above is the large graphic LCD for clear indication of printer status and easy printer configuration. As well as indicating the printer's current status, like "Media Out" or "OnLine Ready", the LCD panel can be used to make minor adjustments and configurations to the printer, quickly and easily in a logical and simple-to-use menu system.
When you have finished changing the media, the top cover closes gently for both user safety and user courtesy.
The ARCP ribbon system - Active Ribbon Control & Positioning - completely eliminates ribbon wrinkle and media slippage on small or specialist media, especially important for longer ribbons.
Standard connectivity is by parallel, serial and USB interfaces and optional Ethernet and Wireless LAN cards can be easily installed without specialist knowledge.
Cross-Emulation: Supports both Datamax® and Zebra® emulations. If the printer is in standard mode and Zebra ZPL-II® code is sent to the printer, the printer will display a message and offer to switch emulations automatically.

Citizen's label printers come with a limited 2-year warranty as standard. A full explanation is given in the warranty statement which comes with the printer.
The warranty statement is the definitive and official version of Citizen's support for your printer but it can be summarised as follows:
The standard warranty is 'return to base'.
(On-site warranties can be provided but are not part of the standard agreement.)
The warranty starts from date of invoice to the customer.
The 2-year part covers all of the printer except the printhead and platen which are considered consumable items.
There is also a limit of 100 Kms on the printer, whichever comes first.
The printhead has a warranty of 6 months or 50Kms (whichever comes first) if used in Thermal Transfer mode.
In direct thermal mode, this is 6 months or 30Kms (whichever comes first).
12 months on-site warranty for this printer can be purchased separately - see below.
