Citizen CL-S400DTPAU-R-CU DT Cutter Module with 120V PAR & USB
Overview
The Citizen CL-S400DTPAU-R-CU is a DT (drop-ticket) cutter accessory for the Citizen CL-S400 thermal printer series. This module handles post-print label finishing — automatic cutting of full-width labels at the point of exit. The 120V parallel (PAR) and USB connectivity options allow integration into both legacy parallel-port environments and modern USB-based label-printing workflows. The roll holder mounts directly to the printer base, keeping media staged and reducing manual handling between print and cut cycles.
Compatibility
This cutter is designed exclusively for the Citizen CL-S400 series. Verify your exact printer model before ordering — the DT cutter is not interchangeable with cutter modules for other Citizen thermal printer families. The PAR interface supports legacy parallel-port communications; USB connectivity provides plug-and-play setup on modern systems without legacy port dependencies.
Installation Notes
Mount the cutter module to the printer's exit path following the manufacturer's installation guide. The roll holder integrates with the CL-S400 base — ensure media width matches the printer's specification (typically 4-inch media for the CL-S400 line). Power the cutter via the supplied 120V connection; verify local electrical standards (120V AC only — not suitable for 220–240V regions without a step-down transformer). USB and parallel connections are mutually exclusive — select the interface matching your system architecture before final installation.
