SATO, a pioneer in the Automatic Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) industry and a leader in barcode printing, labelling, and EPC/RFID solutions, presents its new model in the compact series, the CX410. SATO CX410 can be used everywhere, especially where mobility and flexibility are important, where rather small labelling volumes have to be mastered, or to print labels on demand. A scanner can be connected directly to the CX410, via a serial interface, so that scans and print jobs can be directly accomplished, without the need for a PC. Beside offices, authorities and libraries, the CX410 is also ideally suitable for other barcoding applications, for example for retail, transportation or for courier services. In addition the extremely compact design of the CX410 and its small weight make this printer usable at almost any place, in the distribution center or at the Point Of Sale. The high resolution of 300dpi the CX410 allows sharp and clear print jobs, whether the format consists of traditional linear bar codes or simple text, highly detailed diagrams or 2D-codes.
