Sato has released its new S84-ex and S86-ex print engines across the Asia Pacific region.
The new generation of SATO print engines offers significant industry advancements in quality imaging, exceptional throughput, and incomparably easy operation, setup and maintenance.
The print engines incorporate two-color liquid-crystal display (LCD) and light-emitting diode displays which help operators understand print status from a distance.
A simple standalone mode also provides independent operation via LCD control.
Font and printer settings can be uploaded or downloaded without the use of software tools via secure digital/Universal Serial Bus, and remote printer settings can be handled via web browsers.
“The S84-ex and S86-ex offer flexibility and convenience, providing customers with numerous interfaces as well as tool-less maintenance, and optional wireless local area network and Bluetooth allow for even greater connectivity in continuously changing operating environments,” said chief product planning officer Noriyasu Yamada.
The new models utilize a number of redesigns that make it easier for operators to use and maintain their systems to ensure continued operations.
Print head replacement is simple using a tool-less design, lengthy cable and easy access.
Locking side covers allow for quick and easy replacement of platen rollers, and the sensor cover’s design and non-stick surface help service engineers or operators easily clean or replace parts without the necessity of tools.
The S84-ex and S86-ex are available in four and six inch, direct thermal transfer/thermal transfer and direct thermal-only models, as well as a Ribbon Saver model (S84-ex only).
The solutions will be exhibited at Propak China from Thaifex from May 20 to 24, 2015 in Bangkok, Thailand and July 15 to 17, 2015 in Shanghai, China.
