Unit 1: Introduction

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SATO Lt408, OEM print engine has been designed and manufactured to meet the needs of the entry-level
print apply market. The entry-level market can be generally defined as small to mid-sized manufacturers with low
throughput, light-duty applications. These applications do not require the feature set found on standard OEM print
engines that usually make capital investment unjustifiable. The Lt408 offers this market the opportunity to
automate the labeling function with a system specified for their requirements and priced within their reach.
The Lt408 follows the SATO OEM print engine concept. The print engine, when integrated with an applicator
system provides low-throughput, light-duty applications with automated, yet affordable, print/apply labeling
solutions. Because the OEM print engine is a single-piece module, it can be easily and quickly removed for off-line
servicing or for complete module replacement. Like all SATO OEM print engines, the Lt408 includes an applicator
interface port to provide the required synchronization and messaging between the printer and the applicator.
When specified for suitable applications, the SATO Lt408 print engine is designed to provide years of reliable
labeling operations.
