The M8459Se Direct Thermal OEM Print Engine, based on the popular M8400S model, now provides a less costly direct thermal alternative for print and apply applications. By eliminating the cost of the thermal transfer ribbon, the M8459Se becomes a cost effective labeling solution by providing lower cost labels.

Long Life Printhead - The M8459Se incorporates a printhead designed for long life direct thermal printing. Its warranty and life expecting are many times the typical industry standards. With a warranty of one year or two million linear inches and expected life of up to 4 million inches. The increased printhead life will significantly minimize downtime, further decreasing the total cost of ownership.

Throughput - The M8485Se 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 M8485Se 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 M8459Se. Plus the M8459Se is compatible with the programming commands for the M8400S and the M8459S, 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 (up to 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 M8459Se was designed as a high-duty cycle applicator print engine. It is not a repackaged tabletop printer. A separate rear connector is provided for convenient synchronization of the M8459Se with the applicator system.
