Zebra ZD421 - tarratulostin - lämmönsiirto - rulla (11,2 cm)

For operations that demand reliable, high-volume label output without constant babysitting, the Zebra ZD421 stands apart from typical desktop printers by pairing a proven thermal transfer engine with an intuitive three-button interface and a full-width movable sensor. It handles die-cut, continuous, and black-mark media with equal confidence, so switching between shipping labels, asset tags, and wristbands doesn't require a technician.

Highlights

• Thermal transfer printing at 203 dpi for crisp text, barcodes, and graphics up to 104 mm wide.
• Fast output: up to 152 mm/s in 203 dpi mode keeps pace with busy workstations.
• Standard USB 2.0 and USB Host ports, with optional Ethernet, Bluetooth LE 5, or 802.11ac Wi-Fi for flexible deployment.
• Supports ZPL II, EPL2, XML, and ZBI 2.0 programming languages for seamless integration with existing systems.
• 256 MB SDRAM and 512 MB Flash memory store multiple label formats, fonts, and graphics locally.
• Full-width movable reflective sensor and multi-position transmissive sensor accurately detect gaps, notches, and black marks.

In daily use

Load a 127 mm roll, close the lid, and the ZD421 is ready. The three-button interface with five status icons gives clear feedback on media, ribbon, and connectivity, reducing downtime. For healthcare, retail, or light manufacturing, the printer's small footprint fits crowded desks while still producing labels up to 991 mm long in 203 dpi mode. An external universal power supply simplifies global deployment, and the optional color LCD adds guided setup for less technical users.
