1.1 Overview

The SATO CL408e/CL412e Printers Service Manual provides information for installing and maintaining CL408e/CL412e Thermal Transfer printers. Step-by- step maintenance instructions are included in this manual with typical problems and solutions. It is recommended that you become familiar with each section in this manual before installing and maintaining the printer.

The major differences in the CL408e and the CL412e printers is the resolution of the head. The CL408e with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print labels up to 4.1 inches wide. The CL412e provides a higher print resolution, 305 dpi to give laser-quality printing. It is useful when higher resolution is needed for detailed graphic images.

The CL Series "e" printers use a subset of the standard SATO Command Language. The CL408e/CL412e share the same command set, the only differences are the allowable values representing the print positions on the label. These values are specified in "dots" and will vary depending upon the resolution of the printer and the amount of memory available for imaging the label. The allowable range for each printer is specified in a table for those command codes.
