Zebra ZT420 Industrial Label Printer Thermal transfer, Direct thermal, 203 dpi, 6-inch, Serial/USB/Ethernet/Bluetooth/Wireless

The Zebra ZT420 PowerConnect Printer is a professional-grade thermal label printer designed for industrial and midrange B2B environments where uptime, accuracy and flexible integration matter. Built on an all‑metal frame with a bi‑fold metal cover and available in tabletop or industrial configurations, the ZT420 supports thermal transfer (and in many SKUs direct thermal) printing for durable barcodes, shipping labels and asset tags. Multiple resolution and speed options, broad connectivity including Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth and 802.11ac Wi‑Fi, and optional RFID, cutter, peeler and rewinder accessories make it suitable for manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, retail and compliance labeling workflows that require dependable performance and simplified media handling.

Key Features

• Industrial durability: All‑metal frame and bi‑fold metal media cover deliver rugged construction for continuous, high‑duty labeling environments.
• Flexible connectivity: Broad standard interfaces — USB, USB Host, RS‑232/Serial, 10/100 Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11ac Wi‑Fi — simplify integration into diverse IT environments.
• Performance options: Available resolutions (203 dpi and 300 dpi) and high throughput configurations (up to 12 ips or up to 305 mm/s depending on model) support both fast and high‑detail label production.
• Media handling & finishing: Side‑loading media path plus optional cutter, peeler and rewinder accessories (available on select SKUs) streamline label finishing and reduce manual handling.
• RFID capability: Optional RFID‑enabled variants extend the printer’s use to tagging and automated identification applications for tracking and inventory control.
• Operator usability: Color or back‑lit LCD displays and common Zebra emulations (EPL, ZPL, ZPL II on supported models) make setup, monitoring and deployment straightforward.
