FAST AND QUALITY PRINTING The printer has a surprisingly high-quality print that prints the 10x15 format in just 8.4 seconds. Even the small text on the test image is very legible, see zoom small fields (here it's additionally distorted by a GIF-type web image) |

FORMAT 10 x 15 / 15
x 20 cm from one media (rewind function) From CX2-68-2PC (15x20cm) media, you can simultaneously print a 10x15cm and 15x20cm photo without any loss If you have 15x20cm paper in the printer and you print only 1 photo of 10x15cm format, only the exact required amount of paper will be cut from the roll of paper, BUT you will use only the first half of it from the ink sheet. Thanks to the rewind function the printer remembers that it only printed one 10x15 photo from the 15x20 format, i.e. after starting the printing of the second 10x15cm photo, the printer first rewinds the 15x20 ink sheet back (in the opposite direction) and uses the second unused part of the ink sheet = the result is 100% used ribbon |
|||||||||
GLOSSY / MATTE / LUSTRE / FINE MATTE In the WIN printer driver, you can set the desired surface of the printed image GLOSSY is the classic glossy surface of the photo MATTE creates a finely grainy matte surface on the surface of the photo LUSTER is a fine satin surface in semi-gloss FINE MATTE is a very fine semi-matte surface |

PRINT MANAGER FOR CITIZEN A small program is available for the Citizen CX-02 (CZ-01) printer free of charge, which on the computer connected to the printer clearly displays the type of paper installed in the printer, how many images you can still print from the installed paper, and at the same time it can also automatically send images from the created Hotfolder to the printer. The goal of this program is to simplify the use of the printer, especially at events |

FRIENDLY DIAGNOSTICS An intuitive changing icon in the printer driver will quickly alert you to an open cover or front door, incoming paper or used ink sheet, etc. - see the yellow icon below, a really useful function for quickly finding the cause of the printer's error status |

ICC / Color Management (for
review only) When installing the WIN / Mac driver, the corresponding ICC curves for the printer will be automatically installed so that the color output corresponds to reality. If you feel that this is not the case, please print the image directly from WIN Explorer, when you are sure that the colors are not changed by the application (e.g. Corel, etc.) from which you are printing. If you want to make sure that you have the correct ICC assigned to the printer - open the "Control Panel / All Control Panel Items / Devices and Printers" folder and right-click on the Citizen CX-02 icon, see the image on the right Printer properties / Color management - and here you already see the appropriate ICC assigned to your printer |
