Introducing the ZD411D
• Moveable Sensor provides compatibility with the widest range of media types:
• Outer Diameter: Up to 127 mm (5 in.)
• Compatible with notched or slotted media.
• Multi-center position transmissivity sensor for use with label gap/web media.
• USB Host Port that can be used for easy firmware updates.
• USB 2.0 interface
• Modular Connectivity Slot for field installable 10/100 Ethernet (802.3 RJ-45) and Serial (RS-232 DB-9)
interface options.
• On-the-fly OpenType and TrueType font scaling and import, Unicode, resident scalable font (Swiss 721
Latin 1 font), and a selection of resident bitmap fonts.
• Backward compatibility focused technology eases printer replacement:
• Drop-in replacement of legacy Zebra desktop printers. The printer accepts both EPL and ZPL
programming languages.
• Supports Link-OS virtual devices to interpret non-Zebra printer programming languages.
• XML-Enabled printing – allows XML communications for barcode label printing, eliminating license fees
and print server hardware, and lowering customization and programming costs.
• Zebra Global Printing Solution supports:
• Microsoft Windows keyboard encoding (and ANSI)
• Unicode UTF-8 and UTF 16 (Unicode Transformation Formats)
• XML
• ASCII (7- and8-bit used by legacy programs and systems)
• Basic single and double-byte font encoding
• JIS and Shift-JIS (Japanese International Standards)
• Hexadecimal encoding
• Custom character mapping (DAT table creation, font linking, and character remapping)
• The printer supports configuration via a setup utility running on mobile devices.
• Use the printer’s optional Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) feature for short-range communication to a
variety of mobile devices. Bluetooth LE works with Zebra mobile setup utility applications to assist in
the printer setup, perform media calibration, and maximize print quality.
• Zebra’s Print Touch (Near Field Communication - NFC) tap to pair devices, access printer
information, and access mobile applications.
• An On-board Real-Time Clock (RTC).
• Printhead maintenance reporting is enabled and customizable by the user.
• Easy tool-less replacement of printhead and platen (driver) roller.
• A minimum of 64 MB of internal printer memory for storing forms, fonts, and graphics.
