1.1 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The SATO XL400/410 “e” series printers
of
Thermal Transfer Printers are complete,
high-performance labeling systems designed specifically for printing tags and labels.
All printer parameters are programmable using the front panel controls and DIP
switches. All popular bar codes, including 2-D codes, eight human-readable fonts with
two Care Symbol fonts and a fast and efficient vector font, are resident in memory, pro-
viding literally thousands of type styles and sizes.
All of the XL printers use the same command codes. The only differences are the allow-
able values representing print positions on the label. These values are specified in “dots”
and will vary depending upon the resolution of the printer and the amount of memory
available for imaging the label.
