SATO D508/D512 Operator Manual

Consider the following when setting up the printer:

Locate a solid flat surface with adequate room to set the printer. Make sure the AC 

adaptor can be located so that the AC power cable can be attached to the printer and 
an AC power outlet. The location should be near the host or computer terminal. The 
maximum distance recommended is:

 

 
- 10 feet for a Parallel interface cable. Make sure it meets IEEE1284 specifications

 

 
- 18 feet for the optional Serial RS232 Interface

 

 
- 10 feet for the optional USB interface without hub

 

 
- the optional 10baseT Ethernet Interface depends upon the LAN cabling

 

 
- Up to 100m for the Wireless LAN, depending on structural conditions 

 

1.   Make sure the power switch on the Operator 

Panel is in the OFF (0) position and place the 
AC adaptor in a safe and secure location.

 
2.   Connect the Input Power connector to the 

printer. This connector is buttoned and must 
be turned approximately 3/4 turn clockwise to 
secure it to the printer.

3.   Connect the AC Power Cable to an AC Outlet 

supply of an appropriate voltage.

4.   Connect the interface cable to the host system. 

If you are using the Parallel Port connection, a 
parallel IEEE1284 interface cable must be 
used to realize the high data transfer rate of 
the printer's parallel port. If another interface is 
installed, the appropriate cable should be 
used.

5.   Load the label media following the instructions 

in this section.

6.   Configure the printer for label width and operating mode using the instructions in this section.

7.   Press the printer power button to the ON (I) position.

8.   Print a test label to verify the printer is set up and operating correctly.
