Technical Specifications
Media Handling: Supports media widths from 0.87" to 5.04" on 1" or 3" cores; accommodates roll diameters up to 10". Ribbon capacity extends to 1,968 ft (600 m) for extended production runs without changeover.
Performance: Delivers consistent 14 inches-per-second throughput at 203 dpi resolution, ideal for high-volume label environments. Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer print method flexibility supports both label types.
RFID Intelligence: SATO RF Analyze function automatically optimizes antenna settings across different inlay types, ensuring reliable encoding without manual tuning. Particularly valuable for operations using varied RFID suppliers or label specifications.
Power & Environment: Universal AC input (100-240V, 50/60Hz) accommodates global deployment. Operating temperature range of 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C) supports standard warehouse and manufacturing floor conditions.
Physical: Compact footprint at 10.66" x 17.99" x 12.63" with 33 lbs weight facilitates desktop or workstation placement without consuming excessive floor space.
Applications
- HF RFID tag encoding and verification for asset tracking programs
- Smart label production for supply chain visibility and traceability
- Item-level RFID tracking in manufacturing and distribution centers
- Automated inventory management and real-time stock monitoring
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare serialization and track-and-trace
The CL4NX Plus distinguishes itself through integrated RFID capability paired with industrial-grade thermal printing. Organizations requiring dual barcode and RF tag encoding benefit from consolidated labeling workflows—eliminating the need for separate print-and-encode steps or external RFID writers. The SATO RF Analyze feature is particularly valuable for operations managing multiple label suppliers or experimenting with different RFID inlay configurations; automatic antenna tuning reduces setup time and encoding failures.
The printer's robust aluminum construction and extensive connectivity options (including Bluetooth and NFC) position it well for dynamic warehouse and manufacturing environments. Coupled with tool-free maintenance access, total cost of ownership remains favorable over extended deployment periods.
