Key Advantages

The ZD421 offers versatile connectivity including USB, serial, Bluetooth, and optional Wi-Fi for easy integration. It features high-quality printing with 203 dpi standard and optional 300 dpi resolution supporting detailed label output. The printer is designed with a large, full-color LCD touch display for intuitive control. Its ability to handle diverse media types including labels, tags, and receipt paper adds operational flexibility. The compact desktop form factor combined with rugged build quality makes it suitable for light industrial environments. Enhanced printer management and configuration through Zebra's setup utilities streamline deployment and maintenance.

Limitations

The ZD421 is primarily optimized for direct thermal printing and does not support thermal transfer without additional accessories. Its print width is limited to 4 inches, which may be insufficient for wider label applications. Although it offers optional wireless connectivity, the base model requires purchase of additional modules for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth features. It is a desktop-class printer and may not be suitable for very high-volume industrial printing environments. The media capacity is relatively moderate compared to larger industrial printers, limiting continuous printing durations. Some advanced features available in industrial series models are not present.
