Description

The SATO CL4NX Plus Enterprise Industrial UHF RFID Printer & On-Metal Tag Encoder (Model: SATO-CL4NX-PLUS) is a heavy-duty, high-precision industrial thermal printer engineered for mission-critical manufacturing, automotive supply chains, aerospace asset tracking, and pharmaceutical serialization. Featuring a rigid cast-aluminum housing and a brilliant 3.5-inch full-color interactive LCD with on-screen instructional video guidance, the CL4NX Plus delivers exceptional print speeds up to 14 ips (356 mm/sec) with industry-leading label encoding accuracy.

1. High-Density RAIN RFID Encoding & Dynamic Antenna Array

Equipped with SATO's proprietary multi-antenna RFID encoding module, the CL4NX Plus operates across 860 MHz to 960 MHz (fully tuned for Indian WPC 865–867 MHz). It encodes standard UHF inlays, high-memory aerospace tags, and thick flexible on-metal labels with sub-millimeter precision. The printer supports ultra-short pitch tags down to 12 mm (0.47 inches), reducing label media costs by up to 40%.

2. Standalone AEP (Application Enabled Printing) Intelligence

With built-in SATO AEP intelligence, the printer functions as an independent computing terminal, allowing operators to connect barcode scanners, digital weight scales, and keyboards directly via USB Host to print and encode tags without requiring a host PC. It supports bi-directional IoT communication via Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and SATO App Storage.

Questions

What makes the SATO CL4NX Plus unique for printing on-metal RFID tags?

The CL4NX Plus features an adjustable platen roller, multi-position RFID antenna array, and high-torque ribbon motor designed specifically to pass thick, rigid on-metal labels (up to 1.5mm) through the print mechanism without label slippage or ribbon wrinkling.

How does SATO AEP (Application Enabled Printing) allow standalone printing without a PC?

AEP runs custom micro-applications directly inside the printer firmware. Operators can plug a USB barcode scanner or weighing scale into the printer, scan a job traveler, and the printer automatically fetches data and prints verified RFID tags without needing a computer terminal.

What is the minimum label pitch supported by the CL4NX Plus RFID printer?

The printer supports ultra-short tag pitches down to 12 mm (0.47 inches), allowing electronics and pharmaceutical manufacturers to print small item-level tags while saving significant money on unused liner space.

What is the HSN Code and GST rate for SATO industrial RFID printers in India?

SATO RFID printers are classified under HSN Code 84433290 with an 18% GST rate. RFID Softwares provides full factory warranty, genuine spare parts, and on-site support across India.

Can the CL4NX Plus replace older Zebra or Intermec printers without software modifications?

Yes. The printer features built-in multi-language emulation (including ZPL, IPL, DPL, and SBPL) that automatically detects and translates incoming print streams with zero modifications to existing ERP/WMS host software.
