Thermal label printer SATO CL4NX Plus 609 dpi with UHF RFID, RTC and WLAN, EU power cable

The SATO CL4NX Plus 609 dpi thermal label printer with integrated UHF RFID, real-time clock (RTC) and WLAN is an industrial-grade printing device intended for precise barcode and RFID label production. With 609 dpi print resolution it supports high-density, high-contrast printing for small barcodes, fine text and detailed graphics. The built-in UHF RFID encoder enables on-demand tag personalization, while the RTC provides accurate timestamping for traceability. WLAN connectivity and included EU power cable allow networked deployment in warehouses, production lines and retail environments.

Advantages

The printer combines high-resolution 609 dpi thermal printing with UHF RFID encoding in a single unit, reducing the need for separate encoding stations. Embedded WLAN simplifies integration into existing networks without extra cabling, and the RTC ensures each printed label can include an accurate time and date. The industrial construction is designed for continuous operation and integration into automated workflows, supporting consistent print quality for small barcodes and complex label designs.

Suitable for

• Printing high-density barcode labels for manufacturing and electronics.
• Generating and encoding UHF RFID tags for logistics and inventory tracking.
• On-demand label production in warehouses and distribution centers.
• Retail item labeling where detailed text and small-font barcodes are required.
• Applications requiring networked printers with accurate timestamping for traceability.

Key specifications

• Printing technology: thermal transfer / direct thermal (industrial thermal label printing).
• Optical resolution: 609 dpi for high-density printing.
• RFID: integrated UHF RFID encoder for tag writing and personalization.
• Connectivity: WLAN for wireless network integration.

How to use

Install the printer in a stable location with access to a reliable wireless network or connect via available wired interfaces as required by your deployment. Load appropriate thermal transfer or direct thermal media and configure print settings for 609 dpi output to ensure optimal clarity of small barcodes and graphics. If UHF RFID encoding is required, select compatible UHF tags and configure the encoding parameters in the printer driver or management software. Use the printer’s RTC setting to synchronize timestamps with your system time source for consistent traceability data.

Usage recommendations

Use label stock and ribbon materials specified for high-resolution 609 dpi printing and select UHF tags validated for the printer’s encoder. Regularly update firmware and driver software to maintain network and RFID functionality, and perform routine maintenance on printheads and feed mechanisms to preserve print quality and encoding reliability.
