The code used for the CG408DT does vary slightly from the SATO CG408DT-RS. So you can not use the CG408DT-RS codes. It will throw the printer into an error, or not print a label at all. You will need to refer to the "SATO Programming Reference.pdf" | The code used for the CG408DT does vary slightly from the SATO CG408DT-RS. So you can not use the CG408DT-RS codes.
