SATO spanstangenset BR

In a busy distribution center, a SATO CL4NX printer is running thousands of shipping labels per shift. As the roll diameter changes, media tension fluctuates, causing slight print misalignment and occasional ribbon wrinkle. Installing the SATO Media Tension Bar Kit stabilizes the media path, ensuring each label is printed with precise alignment and consistent darkness, reducing reprints and downtime.
