Benefits of Upgrading
Upgrade to Greater Productivity
Increase productivity by upgrading your older 4-inch printer, Zebra legacy printer, 4-inch 2844, 2844-Z, 3842,
3844-Z printer to the new 4-inch Zebra G-Series GK or GX desktop printer. G-Series printers are easier to
integrate with your network and other Zebra printers, deliver increased speed and performance, and offer more
flexibility to meet a greater variety of applications. Built with Zebra durability and reliability, the sleek, grey G-
Series printers are:
Easier to integrate with your environment
• G-Series printers include both EPL™ and ZPL® programming languages so they work seamlessly with
existing or future desktop, mobile, industrial/commercial and high-performance Zebra printers.
• With more wired and wireless connectivity options, including 10/100 Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11b/g, G-
Series printers easily integrate into existing personal, local or networked systems.
• The compact G-Series printers – especially the direct thermal GK420d™ and GX420d™, which have the
smallest footprint of any 4-inch desktop printer – fit neatly into space-constrained work areas.
More productive
• With faster print speed (up to 6 inches per second), and a 32-bit processor for faster label throughput, the G-
Series increases your operation’s printing productivity.
• Users save time with the easy-to-use design. The ribbon-loading system of the thermal transfer version is the
easiest method on the market, while the G-Series’ OpenACCESS design speeds media loading.
• Fast and simple printhead and platen replacement reduces printer maintenance downtime.
• With built-in Unicode™ support through Zebra’s Global Printing Solution, G-Series printers can print
multiple languages, even on the same label.
More flexible
• From the basic GK model to the feature-rich GX model, G-Series printers offer a wide range of options to
transform any desktop printing application.
• Optional adjustable media sensors, dispenser and cutter increase your media handling choices.
• Optional sharp, 300-dpi print resolution ensures that 2-D bar codes, fine text and complex graphics are sure to
scan and easy to read. The GX430t provides this option.
