New Citizen POS Printer Is First Competitively-Priced Dual- Purpose Label/Receipt Printer

CBM America Corporation announces the release of the Citizen CBM-1000 II thermal label POS printer, an updated model that features fast label or receipt printing speed and 2-color printing capability for enhanced visual impact.

The CBM-1000 II works in a variety of applications. It combines high-speed, two-color label or receipt printing with a compact footprint, spill-resistant top and a quick-and-easy drop-in paper mechanism for a reliable, versatile printer. The CBM-1000 II features a longer-life paper cutter, barcode printing, flash memory for storing and printing logos or labels, and an USB port for simplified connectivity.

"The CBM-1000 label/receipt printer is priced only a little more than the receipt printer alone. Competitive label/receipt printers are priced substantially higher than their receipt counterparts. This puts the CBM 1000 label/receipt printer alone in its class," said Jack Confrey, vice president of sales and marketing, CBM America Corp. "The added functionality of the CBM-1000 II label printer, especially the ability to print labels or receipts in two colors and the faster printing speed, make it an even better choice for the full range of POS and label applications. Because the design of the CBM1000 II is based on a drop-in loading receipt printer, it offers lower cost and greater ease of use than conventional label printers. This enables shopkeepers to easily purchase one printer for both receipt and label printing."
