DEPLOYMENT AND APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY
Backwards Compatibility with Virtually Any Existing Printer

With the ZD420, whether you are currently using a Zebra or competitive printer, you’ll be able to use the same label formats and applications you’re using today. The ZD420 supports both EPL and ZPL printer languages. And with on printer Virtual Devices, part of Zebra’s Print DNA suite of tools and utilities, the ZD420 can use languages normally associated with other printer brands.

Multiple Connectivity Options

With multiple connection options, you can connect the ZD420 to your existing wired and wireless networks, or directly to any PC. The ZD420 comes standard with USB and USB Host. You can also choose optional Ethernet or serial and a dual wireless radio that offers the very latest wireless options, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and MFi certified Bluetooth 4.1, which enables printing from any iOS device. And using the included Print Touch tag (NFC), users can simply tap a compatible mobile device on the ZD420 to pair and print.

Optional Battery For Cordless Operation

With the removable desktop battery power option, you can easily transport the ZD420 printer on a cart to enable on-the-spot printing to reduce steps, increase productivity and improve 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.

Movable Sensor for Comprehensive Media Compatibility

While Zebra Certified Printer Supplies provide optimal printer performance, the ZD420’s movable media sensor lets you use virtually any media from any manufacturer, giving you the flexibility to utilize supplies you may have on hand or continue to utilize any existing supplies provider.

EASY TO MANAGE
Easily Manage All Your Printers — All From a Single Location

The ZD420 supports Zebra Link-OS, a one-of-a-kind enterprise printer operating system that makes it easier than ever to manage and troubleshoot your networked printers from one remote location. With optional Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, you can manage one printer, a group of specific printers or all printers anywhere in the world. Instantly discover every ZD420 printer on your network — there’s no need to walk through the facility to locate, configure or troubleshoot printers. And an intuitive browser-based interface lets you see printer status at a glance, complete with information that allows you to quickly triage printer issues to prevent or minimize downtime.

Seamless Integration with Your Device Management System

With our MDM Connectors, you can easily integrate networked ZD420 printers into your AirWatch or SOTI MobiControl device management system.

Easily Configure Non-Networked Printers

The USB Host port makes it easy to connect to all your external devices, including keyboards and scanners, and can also be utilized to upgrade printer firmware automatically and set up new printer configurations.

INNOVATIVE FEATURES FOR THE LOWEST TCO
Zebra Print DNA — Transforming Printers From the Inside

Print DNA is the genetic code that injects business-catalytic capabilities into our Link-OS printers through its unique combination of innovative applications, utilities and developer tools. The result is a superior printing experience through better performance, simplified remote manageability and easier integration. And it is easy to configure your printers to use secure connections, block unwanted access and ensure your data and infrastructure are protected.

Add New Features Right on Site for Superior Future-Proofing

If you need new communication or media handling options in the future, no problem — the printer you buy today can support tomorrow’s needs. The modular, field upgradable design allows you to add serial or Ethernet connectivity, 300 dpi support, plus a peeler or a cutter, right on site — no need to send the ZD420 to a service depot.

Lower Your Costs With a High Capacity Ribbon

Intelligent dual-ribbon handling allows the ZD420t to accept either 74 m/244 ft. or high capacity 300 m/984 ft. ribbons. The 300 m ribbon reduces ribbon changes by 75 percent for fewer workflow disruptions. And since the high capacity ribbon costs less per meter than the standard ribbon, you’ll also save on the cost of supplies.

Easy to Clean and Sanitize Healthcare Model

The ZD420 is available in a healthcare model with disinfectant-ready, UV-resistant plastics and a sealed button interface that makes it easy to clean and disinfect. It also comes with a healthcare compliant power supply and an optional locking media cabinet to block unauthorized access to high value media like blank prescription forms.

Tidier and Safer Installations

When you choose the optional power supply accessory, the power supply and all but one power cord are hidden from view, improving aesthetics as well as worker and customer safety.
