Sato CT Series Barcode Printer
Sato CT400 Barcode Printer

SATO's CT Series printers feature unparalleled processing speed and power, as well as rugged construction, making them ideal for a wide range of labeling applications. The CT printers continue the SATO tradition of designing high quality, high performance thermal bar code printers. At the core of the new CT printers is a new generation ultra high speed processor. With high data transfer rates and processing speed the CT printers will print continuously, without pausing between labels, even with changes in data and graphics on every label. The incomparable throughput speed of the CT printers truly puts them in a class by themselves. An important added feature of the CT Series printers is the Windows driver which allows the creation of labels using virtually any Windows based program. The Windows driver efficiently utilizes the CT printers’ internal features to provide the greatest print speed and access to all printer control functions. SATO's CT printers also provide the built in ability to print all popular linear and two-dimensional (2-D) symbologies including Micro PDF and QR code. The compact CT printers feature a small footprint and a total weight of under 7 lbs., allowing them to be installed where work space is restricted. Optional features include a variety of interface alternatives such as high speed RS232C (up to 57.6 Kbps), USB, and a LAN Adapter.
