Description

Description

The Zebra ZD421t is a 4-inch advanced desktop label printer for shipping, product, asset, pharmacy and healthcare labels – the successor to Zebra's popular GK and ZD420 printers. As a thermal transfer model with a dual-capacity ribbon holder it takes both 74 m and 300 m ribbons for durable, smudge-proof labels on paper and synthetic materials. It prints sharp 300 dpi labels up to 108 mm wide at up to 102 mm/s, supports both ZPL and EPL and is managed with Zebra Print DNA and Link-OS. This version, ZD4A043-30EX02EZ, combines USB and USB Host with the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) + Bluetooth 5.3 radio for fast, secure wireless network and mobile printing; the power supply, EU and UK power cords and a USB cable are included, so it is ready to print as soon as you add labels and a ribbon.

Key Features

Dual-capacity ribbon holder – use economical 300 m Zebra ribbons (1:4 ribbon-to-media ratio) or compact 74 m ribbons; adapters for non-Zebra 300 m ribbons are included.
Easy to operate – five status icons and a three-button interface show at a glance what the printer needs; colour-coded touch points and the OpenACCESS clamshell design make media changes quick.
Handles virtually any media – roll-fed or fanfold labels, tags and continuous receipt paper from 15 mm to 112 mm wide, with a movable black-mark sensor and a multi-position gap sensor.
Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth 5.3 – the newest 802.11ax radio for fast, stable wireless printing on busy networks plus Bluetooth for mobile devices; the modular slot can still take an Ethernet or serial module.
Fits into your existing fleet – supports ZPL II and EPL 2, emulates other printer languages with Print DNA Virtual Devices and runs your existing GK-series label formats unchanged.
Secure and remotely manageable – Print DNA with PrintSecure and Printer Profile Manager Enterprise; 512 MB flash, 256 MB SDRAM, real-time clock and ENERGY STAR certification.
Upgrade on site – field-installable cutter or label dispenser, connectivity modules, an attached battery base for cart-based printing and the ZKDU keyboard display for stand-alone use.

Which ZD421 should you choose? The ZD421d (direct thermal) needs no ribbon and is ideal for shipping and short-life labels; the ZD421t uses 74 m or 300 m ribbon rolls for durable labels at the lowest cost per label; the ZD421c loads Zebra ribbon cartridges in seconds. 203 dpi suits most barcodes and shipping labels, while 300 dpi gives crisper small text and tiny 2D codes. Then pick Ethernet, USB (upgradeable), Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 to match your network. Compare other models in our Desktop Label Printers collection or contact our team for volume pricing.
