Limitations
As a direct thermal printer, the GX420d requires specially coated thermal paper and cannot print on plain paper, limiting media options. It is not suitable for long-term label durability as prints may fade when exposed to heat or sunlight. The maximum print speed of 4 inches per second might be slower compared to newer models. Its connectivity primarily includes USB and serial; an Ethernet port is optional and may not be present in all units. The printer does not support color printing, being monochrome only. Additionally, it lacks wireless connectivity, which limits flexibility in some modern networked environments.
