printer-management utility tool option that allows users to control printers remotely; USB 2.0 plus LAN; the ability to switch between 203 dpi and 305 dpi (GL412e) print resolution; and an Online Barcode Verifier option that validates barcode scanability at point of print.

“BlueStar is elated to carry the new RFID-ready SATO GL4e printer series. It allows users to economically print barcode labels while planning for the incorporation of RFID capabilities in the future,” says Steve Cuntz, BlueStar’s President/CEO.
