ZD420 4-INCH DESKTOP PRINTERS


A three-button user interface with five LED status icons replaces the typical single button/single light interface common in desktop printers. There's no guesswork involved - users can instantly see what's needed to keep printers up and running, from replenishing media to resolving printer issues.

With multiple connection options, you can connect the ZD420 to your existing wired and wireless networks, or directly to any PC. The ZD420 comes standard with USB and USB Host. You can also choose optional Ethernet or serial and a dual wireless radio that offers the very latest wireless options, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and MFi certified Bluetooth 4.1, which enables printing from any iOS device. And using the included Print Touch tag (NFC), users can simply tap a compatible mobile device on the ZD420 to pair and print.

With the removable desktop battery power option, you can easily transport the ZD420 printer on a cart to enable on-the-spot printing to reduce steps, increase productivity and improve task accuracy. The battery housing mounts securely to the printer base and connecting the battery is as simple as snapping the battery into the housing. And the high-capacity battery can power it all for a full shift - the printer at maximum print speed, along with a peeler, cutter and keyboard.
