Technical Highlights
The WWCLP2001-NAR's 305 dpi resolution at 14 ips delivers the speed and image quality required for mission-critical industrial labeling without sacrificing print fidelity. With 2 GB onboard flash storage, the printer can hold extensive font libraries, barcode formats, and label templates, reducing dependency on external servers. The integrated 3.5" color touchscreen streamlines configuration and troubleshooting. Generous media roll capacity (10" diameter) and extended ribbon length (1,968 ft) reduce changeover frequency, supporting continuous 24/7 operations. Flexible media width handling—from narrow 0.87" labels to full 5.04" rolls—enables a single printer to handle diverse labeling needs across your facility.
Typical Applications
- High-volume shipping and logistics labeling
- Manufacturing product identification and serialization
- Warehouse inventory management and route labeling
- Compliance and regulatory labeling (pharmaceutical, food, chemical)
- Asset tracking and supply chain management

The CL4NX Plus represents SATO's commitment to industrial reliability and operator efficiency. The combination of tool-free printhead access and large-capacity media/ribbon support significantly reduces total cost of ownership by cutting maintenance labor and media waste. The dual thermal and thermal transfer capability is invaluable for organizations that require both durable synthetic labels (thermal transfer) and cost-effective paper labels (direct thermal) without investing in separate equipment.
Integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet ensure seamless network deployment, while 100 MB of user-accessible storage provides ample space for custom label designs and fonts. The 305 dpi resolution strikes an optimal balance between print quality and speed for most industrial barcoding and compliance labeling scenarios. This printer is ideal for mid-to-large facilities seeking a single-unit solution for complex, high-volume labeling operations.
