Citizen CT-S801IIIS3PAUBKP Thermal POS Printer
Overview
The Citizen CT-S801IIIS3PAUBKP is a thermal POS printer configured as a Type III top-exit unit with USB and parallel (PAR) interface options. This model is a CT-S800 series variant intended for point-of-sale environments where receipt output direction and connectivity flexibility matter. Top-exit design allows media to feed upward — useful in counter installations where space beneath the printer is limited or where you want receipts to land in a natural grab position without adding deflectors.
Compatibility
The CT-S801IIIS3PAUBKP works with POS systems and terminal hardware that accept USB or parallel printer connections. Verify your POS terminal or cash drawer interface supports one of these two connectivity modes before ordering — USB is standard on modern systems, but older installations may require parallel. This printer is part of the CT-S800 Type III family; confirm your application requires the top-exit variant rather than front-exit or other orientations to avoid fit issues in your existing mount or counter cutout.
Installation Notes
Mount the printer on a stable, level surface or in a recessed counter opening designed for top-exit thermal units. Ensure adequate clearance above the printer for media output — receipts will feed upward into the grab area. Connect the appropriate interface cable (USB or parallel) to your POS terminal before powering on. Allow the printer to warm up briefly before sending the first print job. Check that media width and roll type are compatible with your receipt stock supplier to avoid jamming or registration issues.
