4.3. Multi-Lingual Support
Figure 7 Multi-Lingual Support
This version of All-In-One Tool supports English and Traditional/Simplified Chinese. User can
change the language setting at the Options->Preferences.
4.4. Adding a Printer
Only SATO printers, specifically those supported by this All-In-One Tool, can be detected and
added. Currently, the following interfaces are supported:
♦ LAN (Wired and Wireless, TCP/IP)
♦ Serial Communication (RS232c)
♦ Parallel Port (IEEE 1284)
♦ USB (Plug & Play)
For printers using SILEX Network Interface card (such as GT and CL), it is necessary to
use the SILEX firmware which supports bi-directional communications on port 9100, i.e.,
version A1.2.3 and above.
* For SAI-SILEX firmware, it is necessary to add the printer with Port no.: 1024.
The All-In-One Tool provides two methods for detecting and/or adding compatible printers to
the system:
1. Using the Auto-Discovery mode
2. Manually entering an IP Address, or Parallel Port/Serial Comm settings
14
In any of the above modes, the system will attempt to handshake with the target printer(s) and
issue an appropriate command to retrieve the printer firmware information. If the handshake is
successful, the detected printer(s) will be presented in the main panel’s treeview as an icon.
Note: When All-In-One Tool tries to connect to the printer, it is important to ensure that there is
no other application (such as printer driver) using the printer at the same time.
For example, a printer driver which is actively connecting to the CT412i via the USB port with
printer driver will cause connection problems to All-In-One Tool with this printer.
Figure 8 Active connection from printer driver
15
4.4.1. Adding a Printer via Auto-Discovery
The All-In-One Tool can automatically detect SATO printers connected via USB interface, the
SILEX network interface card (CL and GT series), or the standard built-in LAN interface (new
CT4xxi series, CG series), or the GL series Network Interface card.
Upon installation, the software automatically registers itself into the Windows Firewall
Exception list. Thus, the firewall can continue to protect the computer without compromising
the functionality of the Auto-Discovery feature.
Figure 9 Exception entry in Firewall
16
4.4.2. Adding a Printer via LAN, Parallel Port or Serial Comm settings
You can add a new printer to the system by specifying its IP Address, USB port, Parallel Port
or Serial Comm settings such as network port, communication port and baud rate. User with
USB to Serial can easily notify with USB2Serial text beside com port. USB to Parallel port is
now supported and will listed under USB Port.
Figure 10 Add New Printer
Note: GL printer with Standard Protocol is able to be added with this method. However, it
might take a little longer.
4.5. Navigating the Treeview
After all target SATO printers have been successfully detected or registered into the application,
they will appear in a Tree view as icons (See Figure 11 below) representing a Node. You can
manage the nodes in this view (hereafter called the treeview) in various ways, as follows.
Figure 11 Treeview
17
4.5.1. Creating folders
By default, detected printers will populate the treeview as nodes at the root. However, just as
with any standard treeview in Windows Explorer, you can also create your own folders in the
root, and then drag-and-drop any registered printer to and from any folder or root area.
By creating folders, you can organize connected printers into groups meeting particular criteria
such as “all GL printers on the Production Floor” or “All compact printers in the Packaging
Dept”. You can then control printers in that group more conveniently rather than individually
select different printers when needed.
The only limitation is that your custom folders must contain a non-blank name, and the folder
name cannot be “root” or “main”. Also, within the same level, the same folder name cannot
be repeated.
4.5.2. Renaming folders
The folder name and the “display” of the printer can be renamed on the treeview. Click on the
folder name and wait for the text editing cursor to appear, then type the new name.
4.5.3. Relocating printers via Drag-and-Drop
A node icon can be moved in and out of the root area or folders easily. Just make sure the
source and target locations are visible, then drag the icon and drop it in the target location.
4.6. Displaying Printer Firmware Information
When a printer node on the treeview is clicked, you will see basic information about the
printer, as depicted below.
Figure 12 Printer Information
18
4.7. Editing Printer Information
You are allowed to change the printer’s Display Name and the Model, which are displayed next
to the node icon.
Figure 13 Edit Printer Information
Changing the Display Name/Model does not affect the printer. No command will actually be sent
to the printer. The changes apply only to the treeview of the SATO All-In-One Tool, and are stored
in memory or exported to XML files when you export profiles (See Section 4.11 Export/Import
Profile).
4.8. Enquiring Printer Status
For printers connected by LAN, the SATO All-In-One Tool periodically sends a status-probing
command and display the printer status for monitoring purposes.
This feature is not available to printers connected via Parallel Port and RS-232. This is based
on the assumption that local printers (non LAN) can be monitored locally rather than via remote.
Figure 14 Status Monitoring
19
4.9. Interface Configuration
Interface Configuration feature is available for CT, MB, CG printers and e-series models that
connected with LAN interface.
Figure 15 Interface Configuration
Note: When the “Interface Configuration” window is open, the ENQ Status monitoring function of
the printer will be stopped.
The following picture shows the Interface Configuration for MB printer:
Figure 16 MB-series Interface Configuration
20
This function supports concurrent setting to multiple MB printers. The following interface settings
can be configured on this functionality:
- RS232 settings
- IrDA settings
- Bluetooth settings
- Wireless LAN settings
4.10. Displaying Configuration Information
The displaying and updating of printer configuration information is split into 2 parts: Printer
information and Label information. These can be viewed and updated by clicking the “Printer
Configuration” and the “Label Configuration” button respectively.
4.10.1. Printer Configuration
SBPL commands will be sent to the printer to retrieve the printer configuration information.
The screen will only display the system configuration Information such as print speed and
darkness level.
Figure 17 Printer System Configuration Information
Use the drop-down lists to make any necessary changes to the configuration. When the “Submit”
button is pressed, the system captures your inputs and issues SBPL commands to change the
settings in the printer.
21
4.10.2. Label Configuration
The remaining configuration data contains label configuration information. The unit of
measurement will be changed from “dot” to “mm”.

same treeview information can be restored without delay.
The following information is captured in the XML profile file:
- Folder Information
- Name
- Tree Level
- Printer type
- Name
- Model
- DisplayName
- Firmware Version
