Product overview
Legacy SATO S86-ex 6-inch print engine with 203 or 305 DPI configurations for automated wide-format print-and-apply systems. Intended for existing-equipment support or specifically confirmed legacy requirements.
Configuration and availability
Legacy/discontinued model. SATO Asia Pacific lists end of sale as April 2023 and the S84NX/S86NX family as the suggested replacement. Availability, condition, parts and support must be confirmed before quotation.
For automated OEM print-and-apply integration. Confirm applicator compatibility, mounting orientation, print method, media, interface and production requirements with our team.
Choosing the print resolution
203 DPI is commonly considered for standard labels and shipping barcodes; 300 or 305 DPI for finer text and graphics. Where the model supports it, 609 DPI provides finer dot placement for dense or small-format content. Confirm barcode size, media and print testing before choosing the configuration.
State your required resolution, quantity and configuration in the quotation-list specifications. Listed options are not a guarantee of interchangeability or current stock.
