SATO WS408-2 TT-STD 203 dpi met USB, LAN, RS232C en EU-voedingskabel - printer

In a busy warehouse or a compact retail back office, the SATO WS408-2 TT-STD keeps label output moving without constant supervision. This 203 dpi thermal transfer printer handles both direct thermal and thermal transfer media, so you can switch between paper labels and durable synthetic tags as orders change. With USB, Ethernet, and RS232C built in, it drops into almost any existing setup, from a single workstation to a networked production line. The included EU power cable means it is ready to run out of the box.

Why choose it

The WS408-2 TT-STD balances speed and durability for everyday labelling. Its 203 dpi output is crisp enough for shipping labels, product tags, and shelf markings, while the 152 mm/s print speed keeps pace with moderate-volume tasks. Triple connectivity eliminates the need for extra adapters or print servers, and the generous 128 MB flash memory stores fonts and formats locally. Because it supports both thermal transfer and direct thermal, you can choose the most cost-effective media for each job without swapping printers.

Ideal use cases

• Shipping and receiving: print address labels, packing slips, and carrier-compliant barcodes.
• Retail: create price tags, shelf labels, and promotional stickers on demand.
• Light manufacturing: mark work-in-progress items, product IDs, and batch labels.
• Healthcare: generate patient wristbands and specimen labels with thermal transfer durability.
• Logistics hubs: run continuous label streams over Ethernet for multiple workstations.

Good to know

The printer includes gap, black mark, and continuous media sensors, so it auto-detects most label types. Windows drivers and SATO Label Gallery software are available for quick setup. The compact footprint fits easily on a desk or shelf, and the high-impact plastic body withstands bumps in active environments. For ribbon-based printing, use standard 300 m ribbons up to 110 mm wide. The EU power cable is included, but the printer also accepts 100–240 V input for global use with the appropriate cord.
