Product Description
Engineered for efficiency, the CL-E331 offers both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing—so you can choose ribbons for long-lasting labels or go ribbon-free for receipts. Its intuitive drop-in media loading, optional auto-cutter or peeler modules, and front-exit path keep workflows smooth.
