Sato M-84 Series
The M-84 Series, based on the popular M-8485S, is the industry's first "Plug and Play" printer capable of full high-speed bi-directional communications. The printer has been designed with a large amount of on board memory and with the flexibility of adding additional flash and/or PCMCIA based memory upgrades to accommodate virtually any printing requirement.

Throughput - The M-8400 Series printer set new benchmarks in label throughput. A new generation RISC processor provides high performance in label production even when printing directly from standard Windows applications.

Memory - The M-8400 Series printer come with a full 18 MB of on-board memory STANDARD! Enough memory for storing multiple fonts, graphics, formats etc. without the need for optional 4 MB of Flash memory or an additional 16 MB of PCMCIA memory may be added.

Dimensions - Designed specifically for integration into automatic print and apply systems, this compact, one-piece printer requires less than 8.6 inches of clearance behind the mounting panel. The height, width and location of mounting holes are identical to the earlier SATO OEM print engines, making it easy to upgrade to the M-8485Se. Plus the M-8485Se is compatible with the programming commands for the M-8400S and the M-8485S, making it a simple drop-in replacement.

Interface Connections - Choose from one of SATO's standard high-speed, bi-directional Plug-In Interface Modules: IEEE1284 Parallel, High-Speed Serial 57.6k bps, or Universal Serial Bus (USB). Also available are optional Plug-In Interface Modules for Twinax/Coax and Ethernet (10/100BaseT) and RS422/485.

Reliable - For reliable performance over extended periods of time, the M-8485Se was designed as a high-duty cycle applicator print engine. It is not a repackaged tabletop printer. Even the heavy gauge steel enclosure was designed for production environments. Yet internal access for maintenance is simple. For the lowest maintenance costs, the M-8485Se maintains the unique user replaceable printhead feature found in all SATO printers.
