SATO S84-ex Embedded Print Module 305dpi, Thermal transfer, 104mm, Bluetooth, RFID UHF, 356mm/s

The SATO S84-ex Label Printer is an industrial-grade print engine designed for high-volume, professional labeling across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and retail environments. Available in multiple configurations, the S84-ex family supports thermal transfer and direct thermal printing with selectable resolutions (including 203, 305 and 609 dpi), a 104 mm (4 in) print width and a range of connectivity options for embedded or networked systems. Built for continuous operation, these modules combine robust media handling, service-friendly design and optional RFID capability to deliver consistent label quality, streamlined integration into automation and reduced downtime for B2B and enterprise deployments.

Key Features

• High-resolution options: Models offer 203, 305 and 609 dpi choices to meet needs from standard barcodes to high-density graphics and fine text.
• Flexible connectivity: Multiple interfaces including Ethernet, USB, RS-232, parallel, EXT I/O plus optional WLAN/Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth simplify integration into diverse systems.
• Industrial throughput: Designed for continuous use with maximum print speeds reported up to ~406 mm/s (approx. 16 ips) to support print-and-apply and high-volume workflows.
• RFID-ready configurations: Select variants include UHF RFID support for encoded labeling and traceability in automated processes.
• Consumables efficiency: Ribbon saver functionality and large ribbon capacity options (up to 600 m) help reduce operating costs and changeover frequency.
• Service-friendly design: Compact industrial form, built-in sensors and user displays on some models facilitate setup, diagnostics and maintenance.
