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 Zebra ZD420t, 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 ZD420t 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 Zebra ZD420 to your existing wired and wireless networks, or directly to any PC. The Zebra ZD420t comes standard with USB and USB Host. You can also choose optional Ethernet or serial and a dual wireless radio that offers 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 Zebra  ZD420t to pair and print — as well as instantly access Zebra’s extensive knowledge base of how-to videos.

Optional battery for cordless operation

With the removable desktop battery power option, you can easily transport the Zebra ZD420t printer on a cart to enable on-the-spot printing to reduce steps, increase productivity and improve task accuracy. The battery housing mounts securely to the printer base and connecting the battery is as simple as snapping the battery into the housing. And the high-capacity battery can power it all for a full shift — the printer at maximum print speed, along with a peeler, cutter and keyboard.

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 Zebra  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.
