UNIQUE SELLINGS POINTS

Great Value for your printing solution

CG4 offers the best price-feature value desktop printing solution in the compact printer

class.

With its 32-bit RISC CPU, 4 ips print speed, and 4MB Flash/8MB SDRAM Memory as well as

optional accessories, the versatile CG4 is equipped to meet the requirements for a wide range

of printing applications.

The new product development process has focused on optimizing product design and

manufacturing to deliver a printer that solves the customers’ printing needs better than any

other and provides rapid and measurable return on investment.

OTHER SELLING POINTS

Space-saving Footprint

The printer’s small footprint saves precious counter space and is designed to fit in tight

spaces.

Standalone Printing

No PC required at time of printing

The CG4 with SATO Keypad* can be operated as a standalone printing system without the

need for a PC at the time of printing. Using the keypad label design software provided, label

formats can be created and then downloaded into the keypad internal Flash ROM memory or

on an SD card. At the time of printing, the operator can enter variable data using the

alphanumeric keypad or external PC Keyboard., or capture date through a barcode scanner

The pre-stored label is called on later when required and print data is sent to the CG4 for

printing.

*Optional accessory.

High Quality Printing

The CG4 series is available in 203 dpi or 305 dpi resolution. 305 dpi will be required to print

text and barcodes, including 2D barcodes, on very small labels, such as those commonly

used in the electronics or pharmaceutical industries for component or specimen labelling.

Scanning and reading data is made easier by the sharp, crisp print quality. For applications

requiring a great deal of information in a small space, higher density printing is recommended.

The CG4 is an ideal printing solution to support the latest 2D barcode symbologies, including

GS1 DataBar (formerly Reduced Space Symbology (RSS)).

Flexible Connectivity

CG4 offers 3 combinations of communication interface options as standard: RS232C and

USB; LAN and USB; or USB and IEEE 1284 interface on-board. The CG4 delivers advanced,

secure connectivity making it easy to integrate with existing systems.

User-friendly Operation & Maintenance

Media loading: drop-load-ready

The clam shell design makes it easy to load media by simply “dropping in” the labels. The

simple label mechanism design allows even an inexperienced user to load in labels. Ribbon

loading is just as easy; it takes seconds, with the high-lift printhead giving easy access to load

the ribbon. Colour-coded user instructions make it intuitive to load labels and ribbons.

Printer Maintenance: tool-less, hassle-free

The one-touch, tool-less print head release mechanism enables the print head to be quickly,

easily replaced.

Printer Platen Roller can be replaced without the need for any tools.

Competitive Printer Language Compatibility

Multiple printer language options enables replacement of competitive printer models with

minimal reprogramming of data streams.

Large Printer Memory

The CG4 Printer has a large memory of 4MB Flash ROM and 8 MB SD-RAM that allow the

storage of extra graphics or fonts and firmware upgrades.

Safe for use in clean environments

The CG4 is designed for use in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are important

and a high level of safety vital.

The printer’s anti-microbial casing is manufactured using an inorganic antimicrobial material.

This material has been shown to have an antimicrobial effect against a wide spectrum of

bacteria, fungi and other micro organisms. It has silver and other ions with antimicrobial power

bonded into its mineral structure and stabilized. They are seldom eluted out with water or

solvent, so the antimicrobial effect can last a long time. Its life span and thermal stability

makes it an important composition material in products used in clean environments.

Labelling in sterile environments such as medical labs, food preparation and kitchen areas,

cosmetic and pharmaceutical processing plant can benefit from the protection of the

anti-microbial material.
