Experience the next generation of wide-format industrial printing with the SATO CL6NX. Designed for heavy-duty performance and unparalleled ease of use, the CL6NX sets a new standard for 6-inch thermal printers. Built with a rugged die-cast aluminum frame, this printer is engineered to thrive in the most demanding manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing environments. The CL6NX features SATO’s "Universal" design, providing a global solution with multi-language support and an intuitive full-color display that includes built-in video tutorials for maintenance and troubleshooting. With its high-speed processing and precision printing, the CL6NX handles large-scale labeling tasks with ease, ensuring your operations remain productive and downtime is kept to an absolute minimum.
The CL6NX is more than just a printer; it is a smart device. With SATO’s AEP technology, you can create standalone applications that allow the printer to connect directly to peripheral devices like scales, scanners, or keyboards—completely bypassing the need for a PC. This simplifies your workspace and reduces the cost of integration across your facility.
Designed to handle media up to 7 inches wide, the CL6NX is ideal for compliance labeling, pallet marking, and large shipping labels. It supports both Thermal Transfer and Direct Thermal printing at 203 dpi and 305 dpi resolutions. The "Plus" model offers enhanced precision and even faster print speeds, ensuring that even the most complex 2D barcodes and high-density graphics are rendered with crisp, scan-ready clarity.
The 3.5-inch full-color LCD display provides clear, real-time status updates and easy-to-navigate menus. If an error occurs, the printer displays high-resolution video guides to show the operator exactly how to clear a jam or replace the printhead. The tool-less printhead and platen roller replacement system allows users to perform routine maintenance in seconds, without calling a technician.
Connectivity is never an issue with the CL6NX. It comes standard with a comprehensive set of interfaces, including Ethernet, USB 2.0 (Type A & B), Serial, Parallel, and Bluetooth. Whether you are integrating into a legacy system via Parallel ports or moving toward a wireless environment with optional Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n), the CL6NX is ready to adapt to your IT infrastructure.
The CL6NX is designed with sustainability in mind, featuring a ribbon-saving option and support for linerless labels to reduce environmental waste. Its high-tension ribbon system prevents wrinkling, and the oversized media window allows operators to monitor label and ribbon levels at a glance. For specialized applications, the CL6NX can be equipped with heavy-duty cutters or UHF RFID encoding modules to future-proof your investment as your tracking needs evolve.
