Citizen Swift 240+ User manual

Citizen has been making dot matrix printers for more than twenty
years so our experience in this business is truly vast.
Our printers are split in to two ranges - the Swift and Prodot
printers. The Swift range are ‘traditional’ dot matrix printers which
feed the paper round the platten, whereas the Prodot range are
flatbed products, ideal for more specialist media
Versatile
If you need the most flexible media
handling, we recommend the Prodot
range. They accept a wide variety of
media from 7-part forms to business
cards and also have the ability to
automatically adjust media thickness and
align media that is not inserted correctly.
High Performance
For fast, high performance printing, the Swift range is designed as a
‘desktop workhorse printer’. As well as a range of paper feeding
options such as rear or bottom feed, paper parking, zero-tear-off,
the Swifts are built with tried-and-tested reliability which causes
our customers to come back to us time-
and-time again for more
products.
Superior Connectivity
For adaptability and
connectivity in different
applications and environments,
the printers are equipped with
parallel ports as standard. The
Prodots and the Swift 120e also have a serial
port as standard and this can be added as an option on all the rest.
Additionally, an external Ethernet adapter can be used to network
our printers.
