Unit 1: Introduction

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The S8400 series print engines are specifically designed for use in high-volume, automated print/apply labeling
applications demanding unparalleled reliability and around the clock operation. These print engines offer four-inch
wide printing ability and are available in 203, 305, and 609 dpi print resolution. However, more compelling is their
user-friendly design and application flexibility.
These OEM print engines follow the design concepts and principles of SATO's previous, market leading, industrial
print engines. The S8400 series can physically and electronically replace any of SATO's previous S-type OEM
print engines. Additionally, this printer utilizes the same SATO Barcode Printing Language (SBPL) as drives all
current SATO OEM print engines.
The S8400 series print engine is available with options, including ribbon saver and RFID capability.
