Intelligent UHF RFID calibration

Intelligent RFID calibration optimizes media positioning to improve encoding accuracy, reduce setup time, and support consistent results across different RFID label constructions. Precise alignment between the inlay and printer antenna helps reduce failed encodes and unnecessary label waste.

Stable output across wider RFID media

A redesigned label holder, improved media guide, and new damper stabilize media movement while reducing vibration and skew. Improved ribbon handling further supports consistent print quality and reliable RFID processing across wider label formats.

cl4-sxr display

Customizable 4.3-inch touchscreen

The large color touchscreen provides clear, intuitive operation, even when operators are wearing gloves. Customize icons, colors, messages, shortcuts, and widgets for different workflows, while label preview and on-screen guidance help reduce setup and operating errors.

cl4-sxr predictive

Predictive maintenance and easy servicing

AI-based monitoring through SATO Online Services helps identify early signs of trouble and recommend printhead replacement timing. On-screen recovery guidance, remote desktop access, and tool-free replacement of key consumable parts help minimize interruptions and downtime.

cl4-sxr label waste prevent

Reduced RFID label waste

Label waste prevention can align the first label for immediate printing, helping avoid costly RFID labels commonly lost when loading a new roll. Automatic ribbon rewind further reduces unnecessary material use and simplifies media changes.
