Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 16/1/2008

The GL4e series is said to be SATO's most significant release of printing technology to date. Versatility and value are the cornerstones of the GL4e series with features that surpass the competition. Only the GL4e series offers a field-upgradeable UHF RFID option; a printer management utility, SATOnet Connect; standard tri-port communication protocols of RS232C serial, IEEE1284 high-speed parallel and USB 2.0 plus LAN and 802.11g Wireless LAN as options; an "automatic detection system" to conveniently switch between 203 (GL408e) and 305dpi (GL412e) print resolution; an Online Data Verifier option that validates barcode scannability at point of print, competitive emulations and much more.

The RFID-ready GL4e series provides extensive support to encode Class 1 Gen 2 tags. It makes use of the very latest in near-field antenna technology to encode precisely to the position on the label that guarantees optimum read performance. The GL4e RFID-ready series allows users to economically print barcode labels now and seamlessly incorporate RFID encoding capabilities as their future needs change. Furthermore, it can meet UHF frequency standards worldwide for global implementation.
