Technical Specifications
Print Performance: The WWCLP2C01-WAR delivers 305 dpi resolution at 14 inches per second, providing the clarity required for complex barcodes and high-density data on industrial labels. Direct thermal and thermal transfer capabilities enable versatility across label types and durability requirements.
Memory and Storage: With 2 GB of Flash memory and 256 MB of SDRAM, the printer handles large fonts, graphics, and form libraries. The 100 MB user-accessible storage supports custom label designs and RFID database applications without external dependencies.
RFID Integration: Native UHF RFID encoding (860-960 MHz) with EPC C1G2 standard compliance enables simultaneous barcode printing and tag encoding. The SATO RF Analyze function automatically optimizes antenna parameters across different inlay types, reducing setup time and encoding failures in diverse label configurations.
Connectivity: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC provide flexible integration into networked environments, allowing remote printing, monitoring, and firmware updates without physical connections.
Typical Applications
- UHF RFID tag encoding and verification for asset tracking and management
- Smart label production for supply chain visibility and authentication
- Manufacturing floor RFID-enabled item-level tracking and work-in-process labeling
- Automated inventory management and warehouse receiving operations
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare compliance labeling with RFID serialization
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The CL4NX Plus represents SATO's mature industrial printer platform, optimized for organizations requiring simultaneous barcode and RFID capabilities. The 305 dpi resolution strikes a practical balance—exceeding 203 dpi requirements for dense barcodes while maintaining 14 ips throughput suitable for moderate-to-high-volume label operations. The RF Analyze feature is particularly valuable in heterogeneous label environments where inlay performance varies; automatic optimization reduces manual tuning and encoding rate variance.
The rigid aluminum construction and corrosion-resistant treatment make this printer viable in food processing, chemical handling, and outdoor warehouse settings. Tool-free maintenance design reflects industry best practices, reducing unplanned downtime in mission-critical label workflows. For organizations balancing RFID adoption with existing barcode infrastructure, the dual-encoding capability provides a practical migration path.
