In 1979, SATO introduced Model 231, the world's first thermal transfer Bar Code printer, and has continued to be in the forefront of thermal printing technologies. Today, SATO continues its tradition of designing and manufacturing high-quality industrial printers that deliver reliable performance with each print job.
