Setting Up Your SATO Printer
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Takumo Pro works with the SATO SCeaTa CT4-LX thermal label printer provided as part of your Takumo hardware package. This printer produces the 4×6 inch waybill labels used for all domestic and international shipments.
Unboxing and Initial Setup
● Remove the printer from its packaging and place it on a stable surface at or near the front desk
● Connect the power adapter and switch the printer on using the power button on the front panel
● The printer screen displays バーコードをスキャンしてください / Please scan your barcode when ready
Loading Label Paper
● Open the top cover of the printer by lifting the release latch
● Insert the label roll with the paper feeding from the bottom of the roll
● Feed the leading edge of the paper through the paper guide and into the feed slot
● Close the top cover until it clicks
● Press the feed button once to advance the paper and confirm correct loading
● The label should feed cleanly without wrinkling or skewing
⚠ IMPORTANT Use only Takumo-supplied label stock. Third-party labels may cause print quality issues or damage the thermal head. |
Connecting to Your Network
● Connect the printer to your network using the supplied Ethernet cable, or configure WiFi via the printer's touchscreen menu under Network Settings
● Note the IP address displayed in the printer's network settings screen
● In Takumo Pro go to Hotel Settings → Hardware → Add Printer
● Enter the printer IP address and click Test Print
● A test label should print confirming the connection is successful
● Click Save
Running a Test Print
Before going live, run a full test print from within a test booking. Create a dummy booking, proceed to Step 6, and click Print Label. Confirm the label output is clean, fully printed, and the barcode scans correctly with a handheld scanner or phone camera.
