www.satoamerica.com
Throughput
The M8490S e continues to set the benchmark for high-resolution OEM printer
performance in automatic label applicator systems. Utilizing the latest in 32-bit
microprocessor technology, along with 16 MB of standard RAM, the M8490S e
provides virtually instantaneous “time to first label out”. When printing at it's
maximum print speed of 8 ips, the M8490S e is capable of handling your most
demanding automatic print apply application.
Interchangeable
The height, width and location of mounting holes are identical to earlier SATO OEM
print engines, making it easy to upgrade to the M8490S e . Plus, the M8490S e is
compatible with the programming commands of the M8490S, making it a simple
drop-in replacement.
Host Interface Flexibility
Designed with a modular interface slot, the M8490S 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 M8490S 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.
