Recommended Settings
To ensure that eFORMz and your SATO GY412 printer work together
eciently, complete the following procedures:
• Update the rmware
• Set the sensor type
• Set the printer type
Restarting Your Printer
When powering the SATO printer wait for the display screen to go dark, at
least ve seconds, before turning it back on again. Quickly cycling the printer
o and on again can cause damage to the unit.
Out of Bounds Errors
The SATO printer can exhibit odd behavior if the eFORMz project is
attempting to print data outside the printable area. Behavior includes
printing blanks between labels and printed Labels being retracted then fed
out again skipping an entire label.

Check the eFORMz Director log for “Out of bounds” errors. If you are running
the eFORMz Composer from the command line check the eFORMz run logs.
Alternatively, you can congure the printer to capture and display the
command errors while printing and pause the print job until addressed. See
Set Command Error Display in this document for instructions.
Setting the Command Error Display should only be enabled in testing
environments. Production printers should not be set to display command
errors.
Drivers and Firmware
Update the Firmware
eFORMz requires rmware version 42:02:00:00E or later. The current
rmware version on the printer will be displayed on the screen at start-up.
The latest rmware software can be found at:
https://www.satoamerica.com/resource-library/all-in-one-printer-utility.aspx
Specify the Printer Driver
eFORMz includes a built-in SATO printer driver. When you create the printer
in Windows, use the Generic/Text Only printer driver to let data from
eFORMz pass through unchanged.
Any issues with the All-In-One Printer Utility and/or obtaining newer rmware
should be directed to SATO support here:
