1.1 INTRODUCTION
The SATO D508/D512 Printer Operator Manual provides information for installing and
maintaining D508/D512 Direct Thermal printers. It is recommended that you become familiar with
each section in this manual before installing and maintaining the printer.
The major difference in the D508 and the D512 printers is the resolution of the print head. The
D508 with its 203 dpi head provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. The
D512's higher 305 dpi resolution provides greater detail for graphics and small point size text.
The D5 Series printers use a subset of the standard SATO Command Language. The D508 and
D512 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 allow-
able range for each printer is specified in a table for those command codes. In addition, users
can choose an interface—such as parallel (IEEE1284), serial (RS-232C), Ethernet (10/100-
BaseT), USB 1.1and Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b.
