Citizen CT-S851IIS3RSUBKP Thermal POS Printer Front Exit Kit
Overview
The Citizen CT-S851IIS3RSUBKP is a front-exit thermal paper kit (300mm depth) engineered for the CT-S851II Type II thermal printer. This configuration positions receipt and label output toward the front of the device, solving the installation constraint where back-exit paper paths conflict with wall placement, cabinetry, or customer-facing counter layouts. Deploy this when you need the printer mounted tight against a wall or integrated into a point-of-sale enclosure without sacrificing operator access to the paper output.
Compatibility
This kit is designed specifically for the Citizen CT-S851II thermal printer series (Type II models). Verify your printer SKU matches the CT-S851II designation before ordering — incompatible models will not accept this front-exit conversion. The 300mm front-exit depth specification accommodates standard thermal paper rolls and ensures clearance for receipt retrieval in compact counter environments.
Installation Notes
This is a field-convertible component swap — requires removal of the standard back-exit paper path assembly and installation of the front-exit mechanism. No special tools or calibration are typically required beyond basic mechanical assembly. Ensure the printer is powered off and unplugged before beginning the conversion. The front-exit configuration does not alter electrical connectivity or printer performance; all standard thermal printing functions remain unchanged after installation.
