Introduction
Overview
The Mobile All-In-One Tool is a mobile version of the SATO All-In-One Tool printer management utility.
It allows users to configure SATO printers seamlessly using mobile devices, supporting both Android
and iOS operating systems. (*iOS is under development and is not supported at this moment until
further notice.)
The application allows users to configure their printers via TCP/IP (for printers connected via LAN
or Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, or NFC interface, providing them with a convenient and flexible solution for
managing their printers on the go.
The diagram below illustrates how the application communicates with SATO printers. The printers
shown here are for illustrative purposes only. Please refer to your printer model for the availability of
interfaces.
With its intuitive interface and comprehensive feature set, the Mobile All-In-One Tool is an essential
tool for anyone who needs to manage their SATO printers from their mobile device.

8
Features
The Mobile All-In-One Tool allows you to actively manage your SATO printers from an Android device
with the following features.
Manage SATO Printers From the Printer List
The [Printer] page provides an easy way for users to add and manage their SATO printers.
On this page, users can add their printers connected via TCP/IP (LAN or Wi-Fi), or Bluetooth, and
configure various printer settings in real-time. Users can also download files to the printer, perform
test prints, and send SBPL commands.
With each printer's connection information saved, users can connect to the printer easily without
re-entering the connection information.
Refer to Printer Page for more details on the operation.
Printer Configuration
◦ Users can create a new configuration file based on the selected printer model and save it to
the Android device.
◦ With the configuration file saved in the Android device, users can easily apply the same
configuration to their SATO printers of the same model via TCP/IP (for printers connected
via LAN or Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, or NFC interface. When configuring the printer using the
NFC interface, please ensure that the printer is turned off due to its behavior. The received
configuration data will be applied when the printer is turned on.
Applying the same printer configuration to multiple printers of the same model can be made
more efficient by using this function. In particular, it is possible to set up printers without
removing them from the packaging box at the distribution center, warehouse, or customer
site.
◦ Users can also directly configure a selected printer connected via TCP/IP (LAN or Wi-Fi) or
Bluetooth interface.
Refer to Printer Configuration for more details on the operation.
File Upload
Users can upload custom fonts to printer's memory, thus optimizing print strings and enhancing
overall throughput.
Furthermore, it is possible to upload the clone configuration onto the printer in a PKG format file or
install the AEP package to the printer.
This functionality enables authorized SATO technical personnel to also install printer firmware or
firmware patch to the printer.
Refer to File Upload for more details on the operation.

9
Create and Apply the Clone Configuration
Users can clone printer-specific settings from one printer to another printer of the same series,
thus saving time in printer configuration. This is useful when you are setting up multiple printers
with the same settings.
Refer to Clone Configuration for more details on the operation.
Test Print
The Test Print function enables you to perform a trial printing on a printer that is connected to your
Android device. You have the option to choose between printing a test template or specific files.
Refer to Test Print for more details on the operation.
Send SBPL
This function allows users to send SBPL commands to the selected printer and receive response
from the printer.
Refer to Send SBPL for more details on the operation.
Multiple Interface Connectivity
The application can remotely manage SATO printers connected via TCP/IP (LAN or Wi-Fi) on the
same local network or using a Bluetooth interface.

10
