Sato adds AEP feature for CL4NX/CL6NX industrial printers

AEP allows the NX series to be used as a standalone label printing platform, and, according to Sato, offers a more flexible and cost-effective option for the printing of labels and tags. Customers can reduce the up-front investment and running costs as a PC is not essential for printing. AEP functionality also saves space by eliminating the computer from the workplace.

The AEP feature allows for tailor-made applications for printing requirements in various industries to optimize the printing processes. Common peripherals, such as numeric keypads, USB keyboards and scanners, can be used for data input, and users can also print labels by querying printer-stored or external databases automatically.

‘We aim to empower our customers by listening to them and adding the functionality they need,’ said Kaz Matsuyama, CEO and president of Sato Holdings Corporation. ‘Our unique hands-on Genbaryoku approach – pro-active understanding of customers’ operations – allows us to bring user-friendliness and cost savings so this new AEP feature is a perfect example of how we apply this philosophy to deliver value to customers.’
