The M8490Se brings a new level of OEM printer performance to automatic label applicator systems. It prints a 4.4" wide image at speeds up to 8" per second! At the heart of every M8490Se is a new high-speed RISC processor for maximum throughput. With a dot density of 305 dpi (12 dots/mm), the M8490Se is perfect for a wide variety of barcode label applications using any of the 21 built-in barcode symbologies and graphics.

Throughput - The M8490Se 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 M8490Se printer come with a full 18 MB of onboard 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 M8490Se. Plus the M8490Se is compatible with the programming commands for the M8400S and the M8490S, 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 or High-Speed Serial (up to 57.6k bps). 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 M8490Se 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 M8490Se maintains the unique user replaceable printhead feature found in all SATO printers.
