The CL608e with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print labels up to six inches wide. The CL612e provides a higher print resolution, 305 dpi to give laser-quality printing. It is useful when higher resolution is needed for detailed graphic images.

Ext Connector 3.2 Interface Types The parallel interface for CL608e/CL612e printers is a high speed, bi-directional parallel interface that conforms to the IEEE 1284 specification. (ECP mode on some computers). The interface is also compatible with the older Centronics parallel interface standard. If it does not detect the correct IEEE 1284 signals in the interface connection, it will automatically operate in the standard Centronics mode which is much slower.
This may cause damage to the interface circuitry in the printer/host and is not covered warranty. USB INTERFACE RS232C SERIAL ETHERNET CENTRONICS INTERFACE INTERFACE PARALLEL INTERFACE Available Interfaces Page 3-2 SATO CL608e/CL612e Service Manual PN 9001079 Rev. B...
Section 3. Interface Specifications 3.3 The Receive Buffer The CL608e/CL612e printers have the ability to receive a data stream from the host in one of two ways. The receive buffer may be configured to accept one print job at a time or multiple print jobs.
3.4 IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface The parallel interface for the CL608e/CL612e printers is a Plug-In Interface Module that can be installed by the user. It conforms to the IEEE 1284 specification. It will automatically detect the IEEE 1284 signals and operate in the high speed mode.

Ready/Busy signal by the driving software. Typically on a PC, it would be either CTS (pin 5) or DSR (pin 6) on a DB-25 connector. Please Note: SATO does not recommend the use of mechanical data switches commonly called A/B switches, as they are known to damage both the computer and printer serial ports. Page 3-7...
. l e Ready/Busy Flow Control Ready/Busy is the hardware flow control for the serial interface on the CL608e/CL612e printers. By raising/lowering the voltage level on Pin 20 of the RS232 port, the printer notifies the host when it is ready to receive data. Pin 4 (RTS) and pin 20 (DTR) are the important signals on the printer for this method of flow control.

" Electrical Checks and Adjustments 4.1 Overview This chapter describes how to check CL608e/CL612e Printers voltage levels and adjust threshold sensor voltages. The power supply converts 125 VAC into regulated DC voltages. The printer uses: +5V and +24V . These DC voltages are not adjustable, however you can measure these DC voltages at test points located on the PCB.
