Zebra ZD420 Healthcare Ribbon Cartridge Desktop Printers

ZEBRA ZD420-HC HEALTHCARE RIBBON CARTRIDGE DESKTOP PRINTERS

If you need a fast, healthcare ready 4-inch printer with an intelligent time-saving ribbon cartridge for fool-proof loading, choose the leader of the class – the ZD420. The ZD420-HC is loaded with features that make it the easiest printer to use in its class. The ZD420 is the only thermal printer to offer a ribbon cartridge, which takes just a few seconds to load, with fool-proof installation — the ribbon cartridge can only be loaded one way for first-time every-time instant loading. The crypto chip in the cartridge's ribbon lets you know when the ribbon needs replacing. And with five intuitive status icons — status, pause, data, supplies and network — your workers can see at a glance what is needed to keep your Zebra ZD420 printer up, running and available.

Designed for healthcare, this printer is ready for the constant disinfecting and offers a healthcare-compliant power supply. In addition to the innovative ribbon cartridge, on-site upgrades and just about every modern wired and wireless connectivity option, the ZD420 also comes with Link-OS. This unique software platform greatly reduces time spent integrating, managing and troubleshooting all of your printers — making your ZD420 thermal printers more cost-effective than ever. Using the included Print Touch tag (NFC), workers can pair a compatible mobile device in a split second. You can monitor and manage all your ZD420 printers from the cloud, for unsurpassed management simplicity.

And Zebra OneCare service maximizes the availability and productivity of your ZD420-HC printers with unmatched from-the-manufacturer support that covers everything — from worn out printheads to normal wear and tear. The ZD420-HC — when ease of use, flexibility and management simplicity matter.
