PDF, or ‘portable document file’, is a widely used file format throughout many core IT systems including ERP, MES and WMS, as well as in OS and other computer applications. Traditionally, printing PDF data on label requires printer driver or custom-built software to convert the data into a graphic, image or dataflow, creating a longer process that can affect supply chain inefficiency.

With SATO’s PDF Direct Print, an integrated printer software that enables SATO printers to directly print PDF data generated in other systems on labels, it streamlines the label printing process while minimising errors and enhancing productivity.
