ZD420 4-Inch Desktop Printers

A NEW LEVEL OF EASE OF USE, APPLICATION

FLEXIBILITY, MANAGEMENT SIMPLICITY AND TCO

Zebra’s ZD420 printers deliver features and functionality that take deployment and management simplicity, ease-of-use,

application ﬂexibility and total cost of ownership (TCO) to a new level in this printer class. As the next generation in Zebra’s

advanced desktop line, the ZD420 replaces Zebra’s popular GK420 Series. You get Zebra’s easy to use clamshell design

combined with an intuitive interface. Field-installable connectivity and media handling options allow you to purchase what you

our powerful Print DNA suite of applications, utilities and developer tools that deliver a superior printing experience through

better performance, simpliﬁed remote manageability and easier integration. Available in both direct thermal and thermal transfer

models, as well as healthcare-speciﬁc models, the printers are ideal for a wide range of environments. The ZD420 — when ease

of use, ﬂexibility and management simplicity matter.

EASY TO USE  PRACTICALLY NO TRAINING REQUIRED

New at-a-glance ﬁve LED icons take

the guesswork out of printer status

A three-button user interface with ﬁve LED status icons replaces the

typical single button/single light interface common in desktop printers.

There’s no guesswork involved — users can instantly see what’s

needed to keep printers up and running, from replenishing media to

resolving printer issues.

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

oers 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 — as well as instantly

access Zebra’s extensive knowledge base of how-to videos.

Sharp 300 dpi printing

With 300 dpi printing, you can support more applications. The high

image quality enables printing of small 2D labels or labels that require

graphics, such as a logo or icon. And if you don’t need 300 dpi

printing today, you can easily change in the ﬁeld using an accessory

kit as your application needs evolve.

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.
