CITIZEN SYSTEMS STANDS BEHIND ITS PRINTERS WITH REVISED “BEST IN INDUSTRY” WARRANTY ::: June 24, 2008 - June 24, 2008 TORRANCE, Calif. (June 24, 2008)  – Citizen Systems America builds practicality and durability into every single product they design. Printers that work hard for businesses that are hard at work must be able to handle the demands of environments that are often very busy, hot, and cramped. Confident that its printers can handle whatever comes their way, Citizen will now offer all POS printers, including impact printers, with a three-year warranty and all barcode label printers with a two-year warranty.      “We want customers to buy our printers with confidence,” said Seth Avergon, Senior Director of Marketing for Citizens Systems America. “One of the best ways to do that is to stand behind our products with one of the best warranties in the industry. We know that our printers can take it and we think that this warranty will help us express to our customers just how sure we are.” The family of barcode printers will now carry a two-year warranty (excluding the print head, cutter and peeler). This versatile range of printers delivers reliable performance in a wide range of applications. Desktop printers like the CLP-521 combine ease of use, high-speed thermal printing and great connectivity at a price that delivers superior performance. For demanding situations there’s the new CL-S700 with a steel cabinet that will stand up to the rigors of tough environments like warehouses, and still provide easy access and a long list of great features. All of Citizens thermal and impact head POS printers now carry a three-year warranty. That includes printers like the new CT-S310 that features the smallest footprint in its class, but is still packed with features like dual interface, easy drop-in paper loading and high-speed 150 millimeter per second printing.   “At Citizen we take the extra step to make sure that our printers offer reliability as well as performance,” added Avergon. “That is the reason that we can offer warranties like this on our products. If we were not sure that these printers could take it and still deliver we wouldn’t be making these kinds of guarantees.” For more information about these warranties and Citizen printers please visit www.citizen-systems.com.   About Citizen Systems Citizen Systems America develops and markets Citizen point-of-sale printers, industrial printing solutions, barcode label printers, portable thermal, high-speed line impact, specialty forms impact, serial matrix printers and OEM printer mechanisms that are used in a variety of industries from foodservice to retail to banking.
