SATO CL4NX Plus Industrial Barcode Printer overview
The CL4NX Plus is SATO's 4-inch industrial label printer for barcode and RFID work in manufacturing, logistics, retail, food and healthcare. It prints at up to 14 ips at both 203 and 305 dpi, and a 609 dpi version is available for very small, high-density labels.
The printer uses a dual-CPU, dual-OS design and a 3.5-inch colour LCD that can play built-in guidance videos. It accepts media rolls up to 265 mm outside diameter and ribbons up to 600 m, and the print head and platen roller can be changed without tools.
SATO Application Enabled Printing (AEP) lets the printer run stand-alone applications with keyboards, scales or scanners attached, while SATO Online Services supports remote monitoring. An RFID model encodes UHF, HF and NFC tags while printing.
