SATO M-8450
High Resolution Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer Barcode Label Printer

SATO has redefined the price-performance threshold for high quality thermal transfer barcode label printing with the revolutionary SATO M-8450. The SATO M-8450 barcode label printer prints at an unprecedented 10" per second using a totally new 305dpi print head. This intelligent print head precisely manages energy distribution for optimum print quality across a full 5" wide label.

At 305dpi, the SATO M-8450's perfect geometry print head prints Code 39 barcodes at densities up to 9.5 characters per inch. UPC and EAN barcodes at 100% of nominal. With its 305dpi head, the M-8450 covers all applications commonly covered by other 152 or 203dpi printers.

All barcodes and 8 human readable character sets are resident in the SATO M-8450 including our unique, scalable vector fonts for virtually unlimited flexibility. High resolution graphics printing at 305dpi is also standard with the SATO M-8450.

The SATO M-8450 uses the simple SATO Command Language. A choice of control codes ensures compatibility with a wide range of host systems. All printer parameters are selectable via the communications interface or through inputs from the control panel. RS232 serial and Centronics parallel interfaces are standard in the SATO M-8450.

Increase the versatility of the SATO M-8450 with your choice of options including a high capacity rewinder, an automatic label dispenser, and an internal label cutter. Automatic backfeed ensures that each label is aligned to begin printing at its leading edge.

In one compact package, SATO has created the ultimate demand printer for barcode labels and tags. Designed for true industrial applications, the SATO M-8450 is today's answer to your labeling needs.
