Limitations
The ZD42042-D01000EZ’s print resolution of 203 dpi may limit applications that require extremely high-detail printing. Its relatively modest maximum print speed might not suffice for very high-volume printing environments. The device relies on Zebra-specific ribbons for thermal transfer mode, which may limit consumable options and increase cost. Some advanced connectivity options like Wi-Fi are only available as optional add-ons, requiring extra purchase. The standard memory may constrain the complexity of label formats and graphics used. It is primarily designed for office and light industrial use, so it might not withstand harsh manufacturing environments.
