SETUP & CONFIGURATION MANUAL
SATO CL4NX RIDF
Checking the Ink Side of the Ribbon
This printer supports two types of print methods:thermal transfer and direct thermal. Thermal
transfer printing transfers the ink of the ribbon to the media. Direct thermal printing creates the image
on direct thermal media. Ribbon is not necessary when using direct thermal media.
There are two wind directions for the ribbon. The Face-out direction indicates that the ink is on the outer
side;the Face-in direction indicates that the ink is on the inner side. This printer supports both wind
directions. The following procedure may be used to determine the ink side of the ribbon:
1 Place the outer side of the ribbon onto
the media (touching).
2 Scratch the inner side of the ribbon with
your fingernail or a pointed object.
3 If there is a mark on the media, the ink is
coated on the outer side of the ribbon.
The ink is coated
on the inner side.

Usable Media
This printer can print on two types of media:mediaroll and fan-fold media. The printer uses media
sensors to detect I-marks or Gaps on the media in order to precisely print the content.
Adjusting the Position of the Media Sensor
When using nonstandard media (e.g. media with printing on the underside, or media with a special
shape), the media sensor cannot sense the I-mark or Gap of the media correctly.In such a case, adjust
the position of the media sensor to sense the I-mark or Gap correctly.
Adjust the media sensor guide to the position where it
can sense the I-mark or Gap of the media.
The I-mark sensor is below the mark, and the Gap
sensor is below the mark.
