Disadvantages of
Sato CL408e vs.
Brady MVP Series
•
The MVP offers
BradyConnect
remote
connectivity and
control solution
(standard).. A
feature currently
not available on
Sato printers.
•
No auto-calibration
on CL408e -
instead dip
switches are
factory set at 1/8"
between labels.
•
LCD standard on
CL408e but only
enables you to
receive error
messages, on-
line/off-line ready
signal and
darkness settings
– all other
configurations are
dip switch
controlled.
•
Made in Japan
(i.e. sourcing of
parts and technical
expertise may take
longer and be
more difficult to
obtain).
