The SATO CL4NX represents SATO’s first truly universal industrial label printer, engineered to optimize asset management and supply chain efficiency. Designed for high-volume, precision printing, the CL4NX is the industry standard for 4-inch thermal printers. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum frame, this printer is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments while maintaining the highest level of print accuracy. The CL4NX features a user-centric design with a full-color interactive LCD display that includes pre-installed video tutorials, making it exceptionally easy for operators to perform routine maintenance and setup without extensive training.
The CL4NX is equipped with SATO’s powerful AEP technology, transforming the printer into a standalone processing hub. AEP allows you to run custom applications directly on the printer, enabling it to communicate with devices such as scanners, scales, and keyboards without a PC connection. This reduces system complexity, saves valuable floor space, and streamlines your labeling workflow.
While the CL4NX is a workhorse for standard shipping and inventory labels, it also excels in high-precision tasks. Available in 203, 305, and a high-resolution 609 dpi, the CL4NX can produce micro-labels for electronics and pharmaceutical applications with incredible clarity. The "Plus" model further enhances this by offering faster print speeds and improved tracking for 2D barcodes, ensuring every label is crisp and compliant.
Maintenance is simplified through the 3.5-inch full-color LCD interface. In the event of an error, the printer doesn't just show a code; it displays a high-resolution video guide to walk the operator through the solution. With a tool-less printhead and platen roller replacement system, your team can swap critical components in under a minute, ensuring maximum uptime for your critical operations.
The CL4NX offers the most comprehensive set of standard connectivity options in its class. Out of the box, you receive Ethernet, USB 2.0 (Type A & B), Serial, Parallel, and Bluetooth. For mobile or modern cloud-based environments, optional dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n) is available, allowing the printer to integrate seamlessly into any existing IT infrastructure or legacy system.
The CL4NX is designed to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. It supports a wide variety of media types, including fan-fold and roll-fed labels. The high-tension ribbon system prevents common issues like ribbon wrinkle, while the oversized media window allows for quick visual stock checks. Additionally, the CL4NX can be field-upgraded with UHF RFID encoding capabilities, allowing you to track assets with precision as your business needs evolve.
