Article summary

WS408 Out of the box instruction

By default, this printer is not 100% compatible with other SATO printers. Some adjustments need to be made to the printer layout to ensure proper operation.

Setting up label material (calibration)

Place carbon and label material (in this case, stickers)
Press and hold the feed button and turn on the printer.
Keep the button pressed until LED 1 and 2 respectively turn green and orange.
Release the button immediately.
Then, press the FEED button briefly.
The calibration will then take place.
Afterwards, the printer will display both green lights and a print can be sent.

Adjustments to the layout of this printer

Create a copy of the layout specifically for the WS408tt.

Enter the following values in the "Start printing" tab:
<esc>A<crlf>

<esc>A102240799<crlf>  label size

<esc>Z<crlf>

<esc>A<crlf>

<esc>#E5<crlf>   Density

<esc>IG0<crlf>    Sensor type (0=Reflective, Imark)

<esc>CS3<crlf>   Speed  1-4

<esc>Z<crlf>

In this case, the mention of the sensor is particularly important, as the sensor is usually turned off by default, resulting in varied results from the printer. Detailed documentation is available in the binaries.
