UNIQUE SELLINGS POINTS  
Great Value for your printing solution  
CG4 offers the best price-feature value desktop printing solution in the compact printer  
class.  
With its 32-bit RISC CPU, 4 ips print speed, and 4MB Flash/8MB SDRAM Memory as well as  
optional accessories, the versatile CG4 is equipped to meet the requirements for a wide range  
of printing applications.  
The new product development process has focused on optimizing product design and  
manufacturing to deliver a printer that solves the customers’ printing needs better than any  
other and provides rapid and measurable return on investment.  
OTHER SELLING POINTS  
Space-saving Footprint  
The printer’s small footprint saves precious counter space and is designed to fit in tight  
spaces.  
Standalone Printing  
No PC required at time of printing  
The CG4 with SATO Keypad* can be operated as a standalone printing system without the  
need for a PC at the time of printing. Using the keypad label design software provided, label  
formats can be created and then downloaded into the keypad internal Flash ROM memory or  
on an SD card. At the time of printing, the operator can enter variable data using the  
alphanumeric keypad or external PC Keyboard., or capture date through a barcode scanner  
The pre-stored label is called on later when required and print data is sent to the CG4 for  
printing.  
*Optional accessory.  
High Quality Printing  
The CG4 series is available in 203 dpi or 305 dpi resolution. 305 dpi will be required to print  
text and barcodes, including 2D barcodes, on very small labels, such as those commonly  
used in the electronics or pharmaceutical industries for component or specimen labelling.  
Scanning and reading data is made easier by the sharp, crisp print quality. For applications  
requiring a great deal of information in a small space, higher density printing is recommended.  
The CG4 is an ideal printing solution to support the latest 2D barcode symbologies, including  
GS1 DataBar (formerly Reduced Space Symbology (RSS)).  
Flexible Connectivity  
CG4 offers 3 combinations of communication interface options as standard: RS232C and  
USB; LAN and USB; or USB and IEEE 1284 interface on-board. The CG4 delivers advanced,  
secure connectivity making it easy to integrate with existing systems.  
User-friendly Operation & Maintenance  
Media loading: drop-load-ready  
The clam shell design makes it easy to load media by simply “dropping in” the labels. The  
simple label mechanism design allows even an inexperienced user to load in labels. Ribbon  
loading is just as easy; it takes seconds, with the high-lift printhead giving easy access to load  
the ribbon. Colour-coded user instructions make it intuitive to load labels and ribbons.

Printer Maintenance: tool-less, hassle-free  
The one-touch, tool-less print head release mechanism enables the print head to be quickly,  
easily replaced.  
Printer Platen Roller can be replaced without the need for any tools.  
Competitive Printer Language Compatibility  
Multiple printer language options enables replacement of competitive printer models with  
minimal reprogramming of data streams.  
Large Printer Memory  
The CG4 Printer has a large memory of 4MB Flash ROM and 8 MB SD-RAM that allow the  
storage of extra graphics or fonts and firmware upgrades.  
Safe for use in clean environments  
The CG4 is designed for use in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are important  
and a high level of safety vital.  
The printer’s anti-microbial casing is manufactured using an inorganic antimicrobial material.  
This material has been shown to have an antimicrobial effect against a wide spectrum of  
bacteria, fungi and other micro organisms. It has silver and other ions with antimicrobial power  
bonded into its mineral structure and stabilized. They are seldom eluted out with water or  
solvent, so the antimicrobial effect can last a long time. Its life span and thermal stability  
makes it an important composition material in products used in clean environments.  
Labelling in sterile environments such as medical labs, food preparation and kitchen areas,  
cosmetic and pharmaceutical processing plant can benefit from the protection of the  
anti-microbial material.

9. Can the CG4 print in Standalone mode?  
Using the SATO Keypad, the CG4 printer can print in standalone mode. Label formats with  
variable fields can be stored in the SATO Keypad memory or SD card thus eliminating the  
need to have a permanent connection to a PC.  
Alternatively, Label formats with variable fields can be stored in the printer memory. Using a  
barcode scanner connected to the printer serial interface, the format number can be selected  
and the variable data is inputted to the printer for printing.  
10. What are the print resolutions available on the CG4?  
The CG4 print has 2 printing resolutions – CG408: 203 dpi and CG412: 305 dpi. At a higher  
resolution of 305dpi, the user can print better graphics or small 2D barcodes.

regions? What is the difference between EX1, EX2, EX4 and EX6 model types?  
CG4 printers shipped to different regions (America, Europe and Asia-Pacific) are the  
same except for the power cord and the safety approvals. The printers can be  
differentiated as follows:  
Model Type  
EX1  
Regions  
Americas

remotely.  
SATO Keypad: an input device to enable users to enter data (a combination of numeric,  
alphabetical and some symbols found on a keyboard)  
Online Mode: Generally refers to the state when two or more devices are directly connected,  
in this case the printer to a host PC where it is able to accept 2-way communication.
