Fast as lightning!

The Citizen Lightning interface offers high-speed data transfer and makes it easy for your customers to control complete POS systems via POS printers.

The market and the requirements for POS printers are growing incredibly fast. Be faster with Citizen’s new Lightning interface! It’s designed to allow your retail and hospitality customers to control entire POS systems from their Citizen POS printers and connect to iPads, iPad Pros and iPhones, thanks to Apple MFi certification.

The many advantages of the Citizen Lightning interface:

  • POS printer interface for iOS devices (Apple MFi-certified)
  • Enables control of POS systems via POS printers
  • Three additional USB host ports
  • Compatible with the Citizen CT-E651 and CT-S751
  • No pairing or complicated set-up required
  • High speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps
  • Charging and printing via Lightning cable connector

Transfer data at lightning speed!
The Lightning interface not only expands the customisation and connectivity options of Citizen POS printers, but also provides high-speed data transmission. This is much more stable than wireless connections, such as Bluetooth, and does not require pairing of devices or the complicated setup of communication settings.

By the way, high speed …
… Citizen also offers your customers printers with high printing speeds that already have a Lightning interface. These currently include the CT-E651 with a maximum print speed of up to 300 mm/sec. and the ­CT-S751 with a speed of up to 350 mm/sec. Both printers are ideal for the fast-changing challenges of the retail and hospitality industries and fit into almost any POS, thanks to their space-saving design. The ­CT-S751 is even suitable for under-counter mounting.

One advantage rarely comes alone!
The Lightning interface is not the only thing that makes your customers’ everyday work easier: it also comes along with a Lightning cable connector and three USB host slots. This allows ­Citizen POS printers to be easily expanded with various peripherals such as scanners, price displays, payment terminals, cash drawers and much more, requiring only a single cable for data transfer and power supply. Additionally, to further maximise the benefits of USB host ports, Citizen also offers your customers a range of SDKs. These simplify integration with existing POS applications and control of the various USB ports.
