SATO CL6-SXR
Next-generation 6-inch industrial thermal label printer designed for high-volume, wide-format and mission-critical labelling applications.
CL6-SXR at a Glance
More Width. More Possibilities.
The SATO CL6-SXR is a next-generation 6-inch industrial label printer engineered for high-volume, wide-format printing where reliability, precision and consistent performance are essential.
Supporting both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, the CL6-SXR is particularly suited to larger barcode, shipping, pallet, compliance and identification labels while retaining the intelligent operation and advanced management features of the SATO SXR platform.
Why Choose the CL6-SXR?
Wide-Format Industrial Printing
With a maximum print width of 167.5 mm (6.60"), the CL6-SXR is designed for larger labels including shipping, pallet, compliance and logistics formats.
High-Speed Output
Print at up to 14 inches per second, helping support high-volume labelling requirements in manufacturing, logistics and warehouse environments.
High Precision
SATO's precision engineering provides positioning accuracy of up to ±0.3 mm under specified test conditions.
Intelligent Maintenance
SATO Online Services supports real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance to help identify potential issues before they interrupt production.
Smart Printing Made Simple
The CL6-SXR combines powerful industrial printing capabilities with a straightforward user interface designed to simplify everyday operation.
Clear on-screen controls provide an intuitive way to configure and operate the printer.
A built-in speaker and voice guidance help operators through printer functions and tasks.
Guidance information and videos help users perform common operations and maintenance tasks.
Users can customise screens, icons, messages, shortcuts and widgets to suit their workflow.
Preview functionality allows operators to visually confirm labels before printing.
Precision for Wide-Format Labels
Large-format labels demand accurate positioning. The CL6-SXR has been engineered to maintain precise print positioning across demanding industrial applications.
Advanced Media Handling
The CL6-SXR is designed to handle a wide range of media formats, from standard industrial labels to larger-format shipping, pallet and compliance media.
The redesigned peel-off mechanism provides stable handling of thin, small or irregular labels, including strongly adhesive media.
Supports media widths up to 180 mm with liner, making the printer suitable for wide-format industrial labelling.
Optional cutter and dispenser configurations allow printed output to be tailored to the application.
Configure the CL6-SXR for Your Application
A range of optional accessories is available to extend the CL6-SXR's capabilities. These options are sold separately and can be selected according to your printing, media-handling and connectivity requirements.
UHF RFID
Add UHF RFID capability for printing and encoding RFID labels and tags.
Cutter
Automatically cut printed labels or tags for individual output.
Dispenser
Presents printed labels ready for manual application.
Linerless Kit
Enables compatible linerless media applications.
WLAN & Bluetooth
Add wireless connectivity for flexible printer placement.
Rotary Cutter
Specialist rotary cutting solution for compatible applications.
Rotary Cutter + Liner Rewinder
Rotary cutting combined with liner rewinding for controlled roll output.
Flexible Connectivity & Management
Standard Interfaces
Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T with IPv4/IPv6, USB 2.0 Type A & B, NFC, RS232C and EXT interfaces are provided as standard.
Optional Wireless
Optional dual-band WLAN and Bluetooth 5.2 provide additional flexibility where wireless connectivity is required.
Remote Management
SATO Online Services, Advanced Remote Desktop and All-in-one Tool v2 support printer monitoring and management.
Optional RFID Capability
The CL6-SXR can be configured with an optional UHF RFID capability for applications requiring RFID label and tag printing and encoding. RFID can print text and barcodes on UHF labels and tags while encoding data into their embedded chips.
Designed with Waste Reduction in Mind
The CL6-SXR incorporates features designed to help reduce unnecessary media waste while also considering the materials used in the printer itself.
Helps reduce setup label waste by detecting the edge of the first label, allowing printing to begin from the first usable label.
Approximately 34% of the printer's resin components are made using recycled materials.
Linerless media can help reduce backing-paper waste where compatible media and configuration are used.
