M-5900
Industrial Direct Thermal Barcode Label Printer

SATO's revolutionary new SATO M-5900 Direct Thermal Barcode Label Printer yields high quality labels and tags while dramatically reducing overall printing costs. The low operating cost and long list of features makes the SATO M-5900 barcode label printer the ideal solution for many cost sensitive industrial applications such as shipping and tracking.

The SATO M-5900 incorporates a print head designed for long life direct thermal printing. Its warranty and expected life are many times the typical current industry standards. With a warranty of one year or 2 million inches and an expected life of up to 4 million inches, print head replacement cost savings alone will more than pay for the printer when compared to other available printers.

Improving thermal papers with UV resistance up to 3 times the industry standards can be used in the SATO M-5900 for long lasting labels.

The SATO M-5900's low price combined with its high quality and industrial construction make a powerhouse printer affordable. It prints labels up to 5" wide with a print area of 4.4" wide by 13" long at 203dpi and speeds up to 4.7" per second. The printer includes an array of fonts and barcodes for maximum design flexibility and combines ease of use with construction to SATO standards for heavy-duty industrial use.
