The Citizen CT-S280 (P/N CTS280RSEBK) is a feature-rich, ultra-compact 2″ (58mm) direct thermal receipt printer built by Citizen Systems. It prints at 80 mm/sec at 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) on 57.5 mm thermal media, supports two-colour thermal paper (red/black highlights with compatible rolls), and connects via RS-232 Serial. Drop-in paper loading, a 0.43 kg footprint and an external 8.5 V DC adapter make it ideal for small-format POS, kiosks and any counter where space is tight.

Note: The CT-S280 is the basic tear-bar variant. For an integrated auto cutter, see the CT-S281 model.

Key Features

 
Ultra-compact and lightweight
At just 106 × 170 × 116.5 mm and 0.43 kg, the CT-S280 fits where most desktop POS printers can't — small kiosks, cramped counters and portable installs.
 
Two-colour thermal printing
Supports two-colour direct thermal paper for highlights, totals or promotions in a second colour without ribbons, ink or toner.
 
Drop-in paper loading
Quick, fool-proof drop-in paper loading mechanism — staff can replace 58mm rolls in seconds with no training.
 
203 dpi crisp receipts
High-resolution 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) output for clean text, graphics and 1D/2D barcodes on standard 57.5 mm thermal rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CT-S280 have an auto cutter?
No — the CT-S280 uses a tear-bar for separating receipts. For an integrated auto cutter, choose the CT-S281 model instead.
What is two-colour thermal printing?
With compatible two-colour thermal rolls, the printer can output a second colour (typically red) for highlights, totals or promotional callouts — no ribbons or ink required.
Will it work with my POS software?
The CT-S280 supports ESC/POS-compatible commands and connects via RS-232 Serial, so it works with most POS applications that target legacy serial receipt printers.
How small is it really?
Very small — 106 × 170 × 116.5 mm and just 0.43 kg. It fits where standard desktop POS printers won't, and is easy to relocate or transport.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose the Citizen CT-S280 when space is your main constraint and you need a basic, dependable 2″ (58mm) receipt printer on RS-232 for a legacy POS terminal — the two-colour thermal capability is a useful extra. If you need an auto cutter, choose the Citizen CT-S281 instead. For high-volume 80mm printing, look at the Bixolon SRP-330IIISK or SRP-332IIISK.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You need an ultra-compact 58mm thermal receipt printer for tight POS counters or kiosks, with RS-232 Serial for a legacy POS system and optional two-colour thermal capability.
Skip it if
You need an auto cutter (choose CT-S281), 80mm receipt width, faster than 80 mm/sec printing, USB or network connectivity — this variant is RS-232 Serial only.
Also consider
Citizen CT-S281 (adds auto cutter), Bixolon SRP-E302K for 80mm USB printing, or Bixolon SRP-330IIISK / SRP-332IIISK for 250 mm/sec high-volume printing.
