Overview

This document is intended for users who want to know how to configure SATO printers with PDF
Direct Print function or system integrators who want to develop a solution that can send PDF data from
their system and directly print the PDF data without graphics conversion on SATO printers with PDF
Direct Print function.
About PDF Direct Print
PDF data becomes a standard document format for most of the ERP system, OS and PC applications,
etc. However, when printing PDF data on most of the barcode printer, it requires a printer driver or
custom software that converts PDF to graphic for printing.
SATO PDF Direct Print is the solution implemented as a special firmware installed on the printer. It
allows users to print PDF files directly to the SATO printers without using any printer driver, utilities,
middleware or application installed to the system.
It provides a cost-effective, secure, simple and reliable direct printing solution.
Supported Printers and Interfaces
The supported printer models of this function are CL4NX, CL6NX, CL4NX Plus and CT4-LX.
Users can send PDF data via any available interface of the supported printers, such as LAN, WLAN,
USB, etc.
