Key Advantages

The ZD421 offers multiple connectivity options including Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth, providing flexible installation and integration. It supports various media formats and supplies, allowing for diverse label printing. The printer's tool-less printhead and platen roller replacement reduce downtime and simplify maintenance. Its compact design fits easily into limited spaces typical of healthcare and retail environments. The LCD user interface enhances operational ease with clear status and error messages. Additionally, it features energy-saving capabilities that help reduce operational costs.

Limitations

While the ZD421 supports Ethernet, it lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which may limit wireless flexibility. The printer is designed for low to medium volume printing and may not be suitable for high-volume industrial usage. Its maximum print width is limited to 4 inches, which might not accommodate wider label requirements. The thermal transfer capability requires ribbon consumption, adding to recurring supplies cost. Although compact, the printer's size might still be an issue in extremely tight workspaces. Firmware updates and advanced customization options require technical knowledge or support from Zebra resources.
