The movable media sensor supports media with off-center black marks,
die-cut notches or multiple labels across the width. The printer offers
virtually every modern-connectivity option, including USB, auto-sensing
serial or 10/100 Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, plus simultaneous
support for Wi-Fi and Ethernet. Easily add new communication or media-handling options right on site, such as serial or Ethernet connectivity, a
peeler and a cutter. Backwards compatibility with existing applications,
formats and printer languages allows you to easily upgrade from your aging
Zebra LP 2824 Plus—just plug in the ZD420 and you’re back up and
running. And with support for Zebra ZPL and EPL printer languages and
many non-Zebra languages, it’s easy to upgrade from competitive printers.
Easy to Clean and Sanitize Healthcare Model
Disinfectant-ready plastics and a sealed button interface make the
ZD420 easy to clean and disinfect—a crucial need in all hospitals and clinics.
The printer fits easily in space-constrained pharmacies, labs and nurses
stations. Also, a 300dpi printing option ensures that even the small
labels on specimen containers and prescriptions are highly legible.
Optional Battery for Cordless Operation
The removable desktop-battery power option makes it easy to transport
the ZD420 printer on a cart for on-the-spot printing, reducing steps,
increasing productivity and improving task accuracy. The battery housing
mounts securely to the printer base and connecting the battery is as
simple as snapping the battery into the housing. And the high-capacity
battery can power it all for a full shift—the printer at maximum print
speed, along with a peeler, cutter and keyboard.
Link-OS for Unparalleled Ease of Management
With Link-OS, Zebra’s unique printer software platform, you can easily
deploy and manage one printer, a group of specific printers or all printers
anywhere in the world via the cloud. And a quick tap of an NFC-enabled
mobile device on the ZD420 provides access to Zebra’s extensive
knowledge base of how-to videos and more for fast issue resolution.
