SATO Printer Overview Specialty printers and Print Engines

Among SATO’s wide range of printers, we must observe some factors to respond to the need of our customer with the appropriate printer: Production levels and media (type, size, material, speed, definition, production required, etc.) Environment (space available, installation conditions, etc.) Options and System Operation (system, options, connection, memory, etc. ) Budget and Conditions (price, contract, agreements, services, etc.) In this presentation, we will be dealing with two categories, Specialty Printers and Printer Engines: SATO Line Up: Specialty Printers & Print Engines Print Engines Industrial Printers Compact / Desktop Printers Mobile Printers Stand alone Printers Specialty Printers Tag Printers

SPECIALTY PRINTERS : The printers in this category are specialized printers design for specific target markets or applications. They are often used with special, high value-added media. There are two types of specialty printers: high precision printing. HR2 M84Se Lt408 PRINT ENGINES SPECIALTY Standard Entry Specialty Printers & Print Engines SPECIALTY PRINTERS: LINEUP PRINT ENGINES: LINEUP S84 The printers (in DT or TT) are designed specifically for integration with automatic print & apply systems. Their performance is reliable over extended periods of time and a high volume of printing. Print engines are suitable for factory lines, logistic centers and often available through (OEM) manufacturers of print & apply systems. To be able to respond to the necessities of our users and offer the right printer of our lineup, we need to understand and clear out their different features. We will observe these two categories in the present session.

MOVABLE DISPENSER SENSOR HR2xx Chemical/Pharmaceutical manufacture label Specialty Printers HR2 Mechanical equipment labels Electric product/parts label Nameplate label Test-tube label at medical facility Cosmetics small label HIGH PRECISION PRINTING: Thermal transfer only 305 dpi and 609 dpi high resolution Precise printing of small labels : Minimum media dimension: Wide 7mm x Pitch 3mm (The size above is structurally possible. However, some restriction may apply depending on paper types, environment and usage. Please, check with Product Management team about paper and paper assemble specifications) Printing speed: up to 100mm/sec Front cover open design FEATURES SEGMENTS / USES & SAMPLES Name plate label Using precise measurement with ±0.2 mm tolerance is required. We need to consider print prohibited area of 0.5 mm on all sides of the label. The use of S rank labels is recommended to obtain this tolerance: - A rank label : The production process involves human inspection, image inspection (if correction is needed) and finally shipping. - S rank label : The production process involves an extra image inspection, which make them more reliable but also more expensive. Perforation is not permitted because it causes sensor level variation. 3 rollers (Platen Roller, Dispense Roller, and Feed Roller) should be changed at the same time to keep the print accuracy. It should be operated in room temperature environment. FRONTAL OPERATION: Dispenser Sensor moves to the left and right side CONSIDERATIONS This allows printing labels In multiple positions Space saving Easy maintenance

They are generally installed in factory lines with conveyor belts that carry along a large amount of products. They are also easy to integrate into logistic centers, where a large scale of items need to be labeled. Their adaptability to diverse production and transportation lines makes them an habitual option for OEM manufacturers of labeling systems. Print Engines offer many possibilities of label application:

SATO lineup of printers comprises a wide range of categories and models. In this session, we have dealt with Specialty Printers and Print Engines. These two categories serve different purposes and respond to specific needs of the user. Specialty Print Engines Specialty printers cover the needs of specific markets that require value-added media. HR2, with its high precision printing, is frequently needed for name-plate labels. However, the Specialty Printers offer a wide range of possibilities still to be seen. Let’s find new business opportunities! These Print Engines are often used to create print & apply label systems by (OEM) manufacturers. They can perform high volume printing over a large period of time, which make them perfect partners for factory lines, logistic centers, etc. We can find many chances to create a smooth and efficient automation of labeling!
