CITAQ (a brand under Xiamen Rongta Technology) designed the H10 model to address high-volume printing demands. The device features a print speed of up to 250 mm/s and an auto-cutter.

Without a correctly configured driver, the printer defaults to an unmapped USB device, rendering it inoperable for business logic.
