The SATO CL6-SXR is a next-generation 6-inch industrial label printer built for fast, precise and dependable wide-format printing in demanding environments. With high-speed output, advanced print accuracy, intuitive operation and flexible configurations, it is designed to support larger barcode labels, shipping and receiving labels, pallet labels, compliance labeling, logistics workflows and UHF RFID encoding.
CL6-SXR combines high-speed wide-format output, precise print positioning, intuitive operation and predictive maintenance to keep demanding labeling workflows moving.
High-speed wide-format printing Print larger labels quickly and consistently. The CL6-SXR supports print speeds up to 14 ips, helping high-volume manufacturing, warehousing and logistics operations maintain efficient label production.
Precise output on wider labels Advanced label feed technology, improved sensing and a redesigned print mechanism help maintain accurate print positioning and consistent barcode, text and graphics quality across wider label formats.
Easier operation for every shift A large 4.3-inch color touchscreen, customizable screen layout, print preview, on-screen guidance and built-in speaker make daily operation easier for different users and work environments.
Predictive maintenance and faster recovery AI-powered maintenance alerts, remote desktop access, on-screen recovery guidance and tool-free replacement of key parts help reduce unexpected downtime and simplify servicing.
Explore the operator-focused details that make the CL6-SXR series easier to use, service and maintain across wider label formats.
Clear media roll visibility A larger side window makes it easier to check remaining label supply and identify when the roll needs to be replaced.
LED status indicator Printer status and error conditions are shown visually, allowing operators to understand printer conditions at a glance.
Large, intuitive touchscreen The large color LCD with resistive touchscreen provides clear visibility and easy operation, even when wearing gloves.
Previous model compatibility The label output height and rubber-foot positions match the CL4/6NX series, helping simplify replacement in existing installations.
Stable wide-media output The redesigned label holder improves media stability, reduces vibration during printing and helps maintain consistent output across wider labels.
Improved media guide locking The enhanced locking mechanism helps operators position the media guide more easily and reduces the risk of label skew.
Enhanced damper mechanism The redesigned damper helps prevent label retraction and stabilizes media feeding for more accurate, consistent output.
Ribbon wrinkle control An improved ribbon feed mechanism helps reduce ribbon wrinkles and maintain clean, consistent thermal transfer print quality.
Advanced thermal printhead A newly developed thermal printhead supports stable print quality, noise resistance, temperature control and predictive error detection.
Modern industrial design Rounded corners and a refined body design create a clean, modern appearance while maintaining the durability required for industrial use.
Color-coded usability User-accessible parts are color-coded to make daily operation, media loading and maintenance easier to understand.
Robust die-cast aluminum construction A sturdy die-cast aluminum frame provides the strength and durability needed for demanding industrial printing environments.

Print with any Control Codes – “Emulation Mode” allows SATO printers to print using the printer codes of all other major printer brands, including Zebra, Datamax and Intermec. Plug and play with your existing software.
Clone Printer Settings via USB – Easily clone printer settings across your entire fleet via USB or ethernet. USB cloning empowers maintenance personnel to pull exact settings from printers and install those settings on other printers in seconds.
CL6-SXR goes beyond basic label output with waste reduction, remote operation, UHF RFID encoding and intelligent features that support more efficient industrial workflows.
Low-temperature thermal head compensation, label preview and advanced printhead technology help maintain stable output and reduce avoidable errors. Operators can preview labels before printing, while the printer adjusts thermal head output to support consistent printing in cold conditions.
CL6-SXR uses recycled ABS plastic in the printer body and helps reduce setup waste by detecting the media edge and printing from the first label. Automatic ribbon retraction also helps reduce setup effort and wasted supplies.
Remote desktop functionality allows administrators and IT teams to check printer status, adjust settings and troubleshoot issues without being physically next to the printer. This is especially useful for production lines, enclosed installations, automated environments and hard-to-access printer locations.
Available UHF RFID configurations support smart-label printing and encoding for inventory, asset tracking, pallet labeling, logistics and supply-chain applications.
SATO AEP support allows customized printer applications to run directly on the printer, helping simplify workflows and reduce dependence on connected PCs or external systems.
Built-in Real-Time Clock/calendar functionality supports time-based labeling, traceability and compliance workflows without requiring a separate RTC option. Standard interfaces, optional wireless connectivity and emulation support also help simplify integration into existing labeling environments.
