Overview of Additional Features
Thank you for purchasing this Citizen Prodot 350 printer. This user
manual addendum should be used in conjunction with the Prodot 300 user
manual also supplied with this printer to provide a full list of the features
and functions within this printer.
Automatic Media Thickness Selection
The integral sensors within the printer’s printhead mechanism detect the
thickness of the media being used and adjust the printhead height to the
correct level for printing. This makes it ideal for multi-thickness media or
for items such as passbooks where the printer must automatically select
the thickness depending on the page of the book being used.
Automatic Media Straightening
If media is miss-inserted in to the front of the printer at an incorrect angle,
the Prodot 350 will automatically correct the angle of the media to ensure it
is straight within the printer. This feature is also known as automatic skew
correction.
Left Edge Detection
The printer can automatically detect the left edge of the media if it is
inserted incorrectly. This is also a great feature if the printer is being used
in automatic media straightening mode as this feature can naturally move
the media left or right whilst straightening.
Automatic Media Selection
The printer can automatically switch between tractor media and cut sheet
media using software control commands making it ideal for banking or
retail situations. The function also exists to park the paper on the tractors
when printing is finished.
