Zebra ZT400

The Zebra ZT400 Series is a family of high-performance industrial label printers designed for demanding applications that require reliable, fast and precise barcode printing. Combining a robust industrial design with advanced connectivity, flexible printing technologies and intelligent management features, the ZT400 Series is an ideal solution for manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, transportation, healthcare and retail.

The series includes the Zebra ZT411 and Zebra ZT421, offering different maximum print widths to meet a wide range of labelling requirements. Both models are designed for continuous operation and can handle different media types and label formats.

Zebra ZT411 and ZT421

The Zebra ZT411 supports labels up to approximately 104 mm (4.09") wide, while the Zebra ZT421 can print labels up to approximately 168 mm (6.6") wide. This makes the ZT421 particularly suitable for applications requiring wider labels, while the ZT411 offers a more compact format for standard industrial labelling.

Both printers support direct thermal and thermal transfer printing, allowing businesses to select the most appropriate printing technology according to the label material, application and required durability.

High-Speed Industrial Printing

The Zebra ZT400 Series provides high printing speeds for demanding production and logistics environments. The ZT411 can reach speeds of up to 14 ips (356 mm/s), while the ZT421 can reach up to 12 ips (305 mm/s), depending on the configuration.

Print resolutions of 203, 300 and 600 dpi are available depending on the model. The 600 dpi option is available for the ZT411 and is particularly useful for applications requiring very small text, detailed graphics or high-density barcodes.

Robust Design for Demanding Environments

The Zebra ZT400 Series features a durable industrial construction designed for intensive daily operation. Its robust metal frame makes it suitable for demanding working environments where reliability and long-term performance are essential.

The printer's design provides convenient access to media and ribbon, while the transparent side door allows operators to quickly check consumable levels without interrupting the printing workflow.

The ZT400 Series can operate in temperatures from approximately 0°C to 40°C, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor industrial and commercial environments.

Advanced Connectivity and Integration

The Zebra ZT400 Series offers a wide range of connectivity options to simplify integration into existing business networks and systems. Standard interfaces include Ethernet, Serial, USB, dual USB Host and Bluetooth, while Wi-Fi connectivity is available depending on the configuration.

This flexibility allows the printers to be integrated into different environments, including warehouse management systems, ERP platforms, production lines and logistics applications.

Intuitive 4.3-Inch Colour Touchscreen

Selected ZT400 configurations feature a 4.3-inch full-colour touchscreen that provides an intuitive interface for accessing printer settings, monitoring status and responding to alerts.

The touchscreen makes it easier for operators to manage the printer directly from the device, reducing the need for complicated configuration procedures and helping identify errors or maintenance requirements quickly.

Zebra Link-OS and Remote Printer Management

The Zebra ZT400 Series is compatible with Zebra Link-OS, Zebra's intelligent printer operating environment designed to simplify printer management and monitoring.

Depending on the configuration and connected management tools, businesses can benefit from features such as remote printer monitoring, device management, firmware updates and improved visibility of printer status. These capabilities can help IT and operations teams manage larger fleets of printers more efficiently.

Optional RFID Printing and Encoding

Selected models of the Zebra ZT400 Series can be configured with RFID printing and encoding capabilities. This allows businesses to print and encode RFID labels in a single process, supporting applications such as asset tracking, inventory management and supply chain visibility.

RFID-enabled ZT400 printers are particularly useful for businesses looking to combine traditional barcode identification with RFID technology.
