2	Launch the Terminal.
3	To delete the package, you can type in:  x86:dpkg -r satodriver x64: dpkg -r satodriver:amd64

Installing the Driver (ARMv7/ARMv8) / PPD

1	Download the Driver and PostScript Printer Description (PPD) zip files from your local SATO regional website (https://www.satoglobal.com/drivers/redirect.html).
2	To determine the correct driver to download, run the uname –a command. This command will return the processor architecture, in the case below its ARMv7.
3	Extract the file in your local folder. (ex. Documents)
4	Locate and copy the downloaded rastertosbpl file into the Cups filters folder. If there is an existing rastertosbpl file in the filter folder make sure to delete it first.
5	Give the correct permission to the rastertosbpl file.
6	Since there are no installers for this package, you will need to use the PPD approach when adding the printer (refer to 4.2.1 or 4.3.1 Adding a New Printer section).
