Introducing the ZD411D
Modes of Operation
Theprinter has many operating configurations and hardware options. Here is a partial list of some of the
operating modes that this versatile printer can do.
• Direct thermal printing (which uses heat-sensitive media to print).
• Standard Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label/receipt or batch print a strip of labels and tear
them off after it is printed.
• Label Dispense Mode: If an optional dispenser is installed, the backing material can be peeled away
from the label as it is printed. After this label is removed, the next one is printed.
• Media Cutting: If an optional media cutter is installed, the printer can cut the label liner between labels,
receipt paper, or tag stock.
• Linerless media printing with Cut or Tear-Off label options for easy pick and place label applications.
• Internet of Things (IoT)data tools (Savanna)
• Stand-alone: The printer can print without being directly connected to a computer.
• A printer with the Color Touch Display option can use menus to access and print a label format/form.
• A Link-OS App connecting via Bluetooth (Wireless option).
• An auto-running label format/form (programming based).
• A data input device connected to the printer's USB Host port or serial port. This accommodates data
input devices, such as scanners, weigh scales, keyboards, etc.
• Use the printer with an Attached Battery option and wireless communication via mobile
configuration apps or the desktop computer (apps, drivers, and programs).
• Shared network printing: Printers configured with Ethernet (LAN) and Wi-Fi interface options include an
internal print server.
