Sato M-8400RVe Barcode Printer
Sato M8400 Barcode Printer

The enhanced M-8400RVe printer provides the latest in thermal printing technology. Fast, unparalleled processing speed and a large amount of onboard memory combined with the time-tested durability of the M-8400 series printers, it is the ideal solution for your printing needs.

Throughput - The M-8400RVe printer sets 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-8400RVe printer comes with a full 18 MB of onboard memory STANDARD! Enough memory for storing multiple fonts and graphics without the need for optional memory in most applications. For extreme memory requirement applications an optional 4 MB of Flash memory or up to an additional 16MB of PCMCIA memory can be added.

Windows® Compatible - Users still have the option of producing high quality labels by using either SATO's native command language (SCL) or quality label design and production software such as SATO's Label Wizard. Now, the ability to easily and efficiently produce labels direct from Windows® applications such as WORD , EXCEL, ACCESS and others is also an option.

Interface Connections - Choose from one of SATO's standard high speed, bi-directional Plu-In Interface Modules: IEEE 1284 Parallel, High Speed Serial 57.6k bps, or Universal Serial Bus (USB). Also available are optional Plug-In Interface Modules for Twin/Coax and Ethernet (10/100BaseT) and RS422/485.
