The SATO printer interface has proven to interoperate with SAP® Auto-ID Infrastructure for RFID tag writing and RFID label printing from within SAP solutions.

The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified that SATO's XML-Enabled 4.0 printer interface meets the requirements for connecting to SAP applications during the RFID printing functions.
