The only printer selection for the PA/4600 is
the SATO Lt 408. The Lt 408 is a medium ‐
duty print engine that shares the same format
language and commands as the venerable
SATO 8485Se. The Lt 408 is capable of using
either a ribbon for thermal transfer printing
or direct thermal. When using a ribbon, the
printer will accept either face ‐ in (SATO ‐
style) or face ‐ out (Zebra ‐ style) ribbon. When
changing from one ribbon type to another,
the Lt 408 features adjustable heat settings
selectable through the user interface or the
label format.
The Lt 408 is capable of printing up to 6
inches per second, and has an option for a
real ‐ time clock / calendar.
The rewind is designed around a brushless
DC motor which uses three coils activated in
sequence, according to three Hall ‐ effect
sensors. This is an inherently closed ‐ loop
motor control since the motor’s magnetic
field is controlled by reading the rotor
position via the Hall ‐ effect sensors. Using
this type of motor, versus less expensive
motors such as stepper or AC, has the distinct
advantages of increased durability,
elimination of any clutch or dancer arm, and
limit switch. The control current set by the
system, in accordance to the state of
operation, directly controls the rewind’s
tension. The system eliminates up to 50% of
the components used compared to other
conventional rewind designs.
The power supply is auto ‐ ranging, so that an
AC voltage input between 100V and 240V
will provide a steady 24 volt DC output. The
supply has a green LED to indicate active
operation.
