Limitations
As a direct thermal printer, the GX420d's labels are susceptible to fading over time when exposed to heat or sunlight, limiting long-term label durability. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which are common in newer models. The maximum print width is limited to 4.09 inches, restricting the size of labels it can produce. The print speed, while sufficient for moderate volume, may not meet the demands of high-throughput applications. It does not support color printing as it is monochrome only. Firmware and software updates are less frequent since the model is older and discontinued, potentially affecting compatibility with newer systems.
