High-Precision Printing for Critical
Applications
The CL4-SXR delivers exceptional print accuracy of up to ±0.3 mm*, making it ideal for applications where precision is critical, such as nameplates, micro labels and high-density barcodes. The new GAP2 sensor complements the existing sensor to enhance acuracy even in regular print mode. This level of accuracy ensures consistent alignment and readability, reducing errors and need for re-prints.
* Based on tests under specific conditions. Actual results may vary.
Ultra-Fast, High-Volume Printing Performance
Designed for high-throughput environments, the CL4-SXR achieves print speeds of up to 18 inches per second (203dpi), significantly boosting productivity in large-scale operations. This enables fast label production without compromising print quality, helping businesses improve efficiency and meet demanding operational timelines.
AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance
With AI-driven predictive maintenance powered by SATO Online Services (SOS), the CL4-SXR not only monitors printer conditions in real-time but also predicts potential issues before they occur. This proactive approach helps reduce unexpected failures, optimise maintenance schedules, prevent downtime and ensure continuous reliable operations.
Intuitive, Custom User Interface with Touch & Voice
The 4.3-inch full color touchscreen provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, enabling easy navigation and troubleshooting. WIth built-in speaker for voice guidance and onboard guidance videos, the printer enhances usability for operators of all skill levels, reduces training time and improves workflow efficiency. Furthermore, users can customize the screen and apps by setting icons, colors, messages, shortcuts and widgets to fit their workflow.
Enhanced Media Handling with New Peel Mechanism
With advanced printer sensor technology, the redesigned peel-off unit enables CL4-SXR printer to detect label positions more precisely. This improved mechanism enables reliable handling of thin, small, irregularly shaped labels or labels with strong adhesive such as nameplate labels for electronic devices.
Robust Industrial Build for Continuous Operation
The CL4-SXR features a durable structure, including an aluminum die-cast frame to maintain stability during high-speed printing. This ensures consistent print quality and reliability in demanding industrial environments.
|
Eco-Conscious Design with Recycled Materials
Approximately 34% of the printer’s resin components are made from recycled materials, reducing environment impact. This supports organisations looking to improve sustainability across their operations.
|
Label Waste Prevention for Sustainability
The printer detects the edge of the first label upon loading to align its position, allowing the printer to print from the very first label instead of wasting the first few labels that usually go to waste when setting up a new roll.
|
Remote Desktop for Efficient Printer Management
With remote access, users can operate and manage printers remotely, making CL4-SXR ideal for unattended or automated operations in hard-to-access locations such as production lines and dustproof enclosures.
|
Print Preview for Error Reduction
The built-in print preview function allows users to visually confirm labels on the LCD before printing to prevent label wastage or content errors.
