M8485S e - High Speed OEM Printer
www.satoamerica.com
Throughput
The M8485S e continues to set the benchmark for OEM printer performance in automatic
label applicator systems. Utilizing the latest in 32-bit microprocessor technology, along
with 16 MB of standard RAM, the M8485S e provides virtually instantaneous “time to
first label out”. When printing at its maximum speed of 12 ips, the M8485S e is capable
of handling your most demanding automatic print apply application, especially those
where data changes on every label.
Interchangeable
The height, width and location of mounting holes are identical to earlier SATO OEM print
engines, making it easy to upgrade to the M8485S e . Plus, the M8485S e is compatible
with the programming commands for the M8400S and the M8485S, making it a simple
drop-in replacement.
Host Interface Flexibility
Designed with a modular interface slot, the M8485S e allows for a wide variety of interface
options to be easily installed and field upgraded. These bi-directional interfaces include
a high-speed IEEE1284 Parallel (ECP), RS232C Serial, 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet
and 802.11g Wireless Ethernet.
Legendary Reliability
Your labeling application is demanding and uptime is paramount. The M8485S e was
designed to provide reliable performance over extended periods of time. It was
specifically developed as a high-duty cycle applicator print engine...it is not a repackaged
desktop printer. Even the heavy gauge steel enclosure was designed for production
environments. Yet, internal access for maintenance is simple.
OEM SOLUTIONS
The “Standard” for all automatic print & apply Labeling
The industrial OEM high-speed
printers are ideal for a range of
applications, including:
Compliance Labeling
Warehouse Logistics
Pallet Tracking
Retail Labeling
Product Authentication
Cross-Docking
Shipping Labels
Weigh-Scale Labeling
RFID Labeling (optional)
The M8485S e is the “standard” print engine used in print apply applications around the world. With its 5" print width and maximum
print speed of 12 inches per second, the M8485S e is your first choice for high-speed labeling applications.
