Key Advantages

The ZD421 provides excellent print quality suitable for a variety of labeling needs, including barcodes and text. Its compact design fits easily on desktops, saving workspace without sacrificing performance. The printer supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer methods, offering flexibility for different applications. It has multiple connectivity options such as USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, ensuring compatibility across various work environments. The LCD display and intuitive user interface simplify operation and reduce training time. Lastly, the media handling system allows quick roll changes minimizing downtime during peak workloads.

Limitations

Despite its strengths, the ZD421 has some limitations. The maximum print width is limited to 4 inches, which may restrict larger label needs. It lacks some advanced wireless security features found in higher-end models. The printer's maximum print speed, while adequate for most tasks, may not satisfy very high-volume industrial requirements. It requires specific Zebra-approved media to maintain optimal print quality, potentially increasing operating costs. The user interface, though functional, may not provide exhaustive diagnostics for complex troubleshooting. Lastly, firmware updates depend on user manual interventions which could be less convenient compared to cloud-managed devices.
