Available in both Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer versions, the CG2 can print up to 305dpi print resolution.

Its ease-to-use, ultra-compact form factor, as well as suitability for on-demand, low-volume label or wristband printing applications make the CG2 series one of the best feature-value desktop printers of its class.

The CG2 can be operated as a standalone printing system, using the SATO keypad, eliminating the need for a PC at the time of printing. The printer’s compact footprint is ideal for applications where counter space is limited or for shop floor or back office operations that require small space printing systems.. The CG2 printer can print up to 305 dpi print resolution for the crisp imaging of text, linear and 2D barcode symbologies for application use on small labels commonly used for the electronics or pharmaceutical industries or specimen identification labelling in the healtcare sector. The printer’s anti-microbial casing is manufactured using an inorganic antimicrobial material making it suitable for use in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are paramount and a high level of safety vital.

Its clam shell design and simple print mechanism makes the loading of media quick and easy. With its simplicity of design this enables easy operation and maintenance; print heads and platen rollers can be replaced without the need for any tools.

Typical applications for the GC2 include: price and shelf-edge labelling, markdown labelling, returns labelling, patient identification wristbands, specimen labelling, access control and patron management; product authentication, especially item tracking; counterfeiting and part tracking and more.

 

Features

Standalone Printing - No PC required at time of printing. The CG2 with SATO Keypad can be operated as a standalone printing system without the need for a PC at the time of printing.
Competitive Printer Language Compatibility Multiple printer language options enables replacement of competitive printer models with minimal reprogramming of data streams.
Compact HR RFID Printing Solution CG2 is built to typically fulfil the need for a desktop HF RFID printing solution that does not require a lot of counter space and is suited for applications that require or can accept shorter read range.
Large Printer Memory The CG2 Printer has a large memory of 4MB Flash ROM and 8 MB RAM that allow the storage of extra graphics or fonts and firmware upgrades. This makes it suitable for application that requires printing larger graphic images.
