SATO CUPS Driver
The SATO CUPS Driver was developed to allow the users to print labels from Linux and Mac OS X system to the SATO printer.
This driver is based on CUPS printing system for Linux and Mac OS X.
All the device communications are handled by CUPS (backend). The raster filter converts the CUPS raster graphic into SBPL (SATO Barcode Programming Language) which the SATO printer can understand. For an instance, if the user prints a label, the raster filter converts the graphic into SBPL command which will be send to the printer together with the printer options.
