The SATO CL608e/CL612e Printers Service Manual provides information for
installing and maintaining CL608e/CL612e Thermal Transfer printers. Step-by-
step maintenance instructions are included in this manual with typical problems
and solutions. It is recommended that you become familiar with each section in
this manual before installing and maintaining the printer.
The major differences between the CL608e and the CL612 printers is the
resolution of the head and label width. The CL608e with its 203 dpi head
provides an economical labeling solution for most applications. It can print
labels up to six inches wide. The CL612e provides a higher print resolution, 305
dpi to give laser-quality printing. It is useful when higher resolution is needed
for detailed graphic images. It can print labels up to 6.5 inches wide.
The CL Series "e" printers use a subset of the standard SATO Command
Language. The CL608e/CL612e 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
allowable range for each printer is specified in a table for those command codes.
