Description

High-Precision Printing for Wide Format Labels

The SATO CL6-SXR Thermal Printer achieves print accuracy of up to ±0.3 mm, ensuring precise alignment even on large labels. The new GAP2 sensor complements the existing sensor, enhancing accuracy even in regular print mode. This is critical for applications such as pallet labels and compliance labels where accuracy directly impacts scanning and operational reliability.

High-Speed Printing for Maximum Throughput

With a print speed of up to 14 inches per second, the CL6-SXR is built for high-volume environments. It enables fast label production without compromising print quality, helping businesses keep up with demanding logistics and manufacturing workflows.

AI-Powered Predictive Maintenance

The CL6-SXR integrates with SATO Online Services (SOS) to monitor printer performance in real-time and predict potential failures before they occur. This proactive maintenance approach reduces unexpected downtime and ensures continuous, stable operations.

Intuitive, Customizable User Interface with Touchscreen & Voice Guidance

The 4.3-inch full-color touchscreen provides an intuitive and user-friendly interface, enabling easy navigation and troubleshooting. With a 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-Off Mechanism

The redesigned peel-off unit ensures stable handling of thin, small, or irregular labels, even with strong adhesives. A movable sensor improves detection accuracy, enabling reliable printing across complex label formats.

Robust Industrial Build for Continuous Operation

The CL6-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 environmental impact. This supports organizations 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 CL6-SXR ideal for unattended or automated operations in hard-to-access locations such as production lines and dustproof enclosures.

HF or UHF RFID modules

CL6-SXR RFID can print text and barcodes on UHF labels and tags and simultaneously encode data into their embedded chips.

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.
