SATO CL4NX Label Printer

Details

The CL4NX label printer will work with either code based labels, or the System Five Label designer, making it a good solution that will allow end users to easily create simple, to complex labels without having to learn printer code. This printer can print in direct thermal mode for printing on thermal label stock, or in thermal transfer mode (With the optional thermal transfer ribbon).

This is a 1 across 2.25“ x 2” Thermal Label

The CL4NX also has the ability to print to many of the label stocks that garden centers use on a daily basis such as the loop labels used for labeling trees and shrubs, to the pot stick labels used to label smaller plants. The only limitation is that the width of the label or combined labels can not exceed 5 inches, because that is the maximum width of the print head assembly and output guides.

Also it is important that the label stock is fed correctly. It must feed under the feed guide, or you will get out of paper errors.

This is the correct path for the stock.

It will be the same for all label stock regardless of whether the stock feeds off the top or off the bottom of the roll. For peel off label stock it is also important to note that the label must be positioned with the label facing up, and the backing paper facing down.

Detailed Problem Solutions

There are a few minor issues that will need to be discussed here as well. One being that the Windward Label designer does not have the ability to rotate items on the label. So the 5 across tree tags can be a bit more difficult to set up. First you need to set the stock size in the Windows Driver for the Sato CL4NX, and then set it to Landscape, so that the label is rotated 90 degrees.

Now you can setup a new label in the System Five Label Designer to build the label.

The label 's Page Design should look something like this:

And the label should be laid out something like this.

This layout and label design should output a set of labels that will exit the printer like this:
