-
-
Power Supply: AC 100V–240V ($\pm 10\%$), 50/60Hz Auto-ranging.
Key Advanced Features
-
AI Predictive Maintenance: Powered by SOS (SATO Online Services) cloud monitoring to detect early hardware warning signs and predict optimal thermal head replacement timing before errors occur.
-
SATO AEP (Application Enabled Printing): Enables standalone, PC-less operations by running custom applications natively on the printer, allowing direct scanner inputs and custom screen logic.
-
High-Precision Mode: Special label feed technology and a new GAP2 sensor deliver a highly accurate print alignment of $\pm 0.3\text{ mm}$.
-
Label Waste Prevention: Aligns from the edge of the very first label upon loading to prevent media waste—crucial for high-cost RFID tag formatting.
-
Thermal Head Temperature Compensation: Automatically adjusts printhead heat output in cold environments to maintain optimal image clarity from the first print dot.
-
Eco-Friendly Construction: The outer shell and internal components use approximately 34% recycled ABS resin to minimize environmental impact.
-
Tool-Free Maintenance: Wide-opening design allows manual replacement of the thermal printhead and platen rollers without extra tools.
