Zebra ZT421 wide semi-industrial label printer with metal housing and color touch display
Accessories
Where will the device be used?
Continuous operation
The printhead and platen roller wear during operation, so for multi-shift printing it is worth keeping spares on hand. Printheads for the ZT421: P1058930-012 (203 dpi) and P1058930-013 (300 dpi).
Shipping and packing
The guillotine cutter with catch tray P1058930-190 gives a clean edge between labels and tags. The peeler P1105147-020 presents the label already separated from the liner. The full-roll rewinder is factory-installed only, so it is chosen as a printer variant.
Warehouse
The card P1083320-037G adds Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3, so the printer can work without running a network cable. The kit P1058930-500C adds UHF RFID label encoding and is installed in a printer already in use.
Production
The applicator interface card P1083320-038 (5–24 V) connects the printer to an automatic labeler. When your label range changes, you change the resolution with a conversion kit: P1058930-026 to 203 dpi, P1058930-025 to 300 dpi. The protector kit P1105147-038 shields ports, connectors and cables from damage.

Semi-industrial label printer Zebra ZT421

Zebra ZT421 is the wide, 6-inch model of the ZT400 series: a semi-industrial thermal and thermal transfer label printer with a metal frame and metal cover and a print width of up to 168 mm. It is the choice when a label does not fit into the standard 104 mm: large logistics labels, labels for shipping cases, pallets and bulky products. It runs continuously at production lines and in warehouses, with the same operation as the narrower ZT411.

Key features

  • Print width up to 168 mm on media up to 178 mm: a full set of logistics data, several barcodes and readable text fit on one label without shrinking the font.
  • Speed up to 305 mm/s: even large labels are printed on demand, at the pace of the line or the shipping area.
  • 203 or 300 dpi resolution: 203 dpi is enough for large logistics labels, 300 dpi gives sharper text and dense 2D codes.
  • Metal frame and bi-fold metal cover: the printer weighs about 18 kg and is built for multi-shift shop-floor work. The gears are reinforced with carbon fiber, and the cover folds to the sides, so little clearance is needed above the printer.
  • 4.3-inch color touch display with an icon-based menu: language, settings and connectivity are changed without a manual, and color status alerts are visible from across the workstation.
  • Backlit, color-coded media path and side loading: the wide label roll (up to 203 mm in diameter on a 76 mm core) and ribbon up to 450 m are loaded reliably even in dim light.
  • Two USB host ports alongside USB, RS-232, Ethernet and Bluetooth: a scanner and a keyboard can be connected at the same time, and the configuration is copied to other printers with a USB drive.
  • Link-OS and Zebra DNA: remote fleet management, integration with SOTI MobiControl and AirWatch, and the Network Connect option for direct connection to an industrial Ethernet network.

How to choose a variant

  • ZT421 or ZT411. Choose the ZT421 for labels wider than 104 mm. When 4-inch labels are enough, the ZT411 is faster (up to 356 mm/s) and offers options not available on the ZT421: 600 dpi, on-metal RFID, linerless printing and the automated labeling kit.
  • Resolution. 203 dpi for logistics and pallet labels, 300 dpi for product labels with fine text. EPL works only on 203 dpi models.
  • Media handling. Tear-off is standard. Options: guillotine cutter with catch tray, peeler (media up to 171 mm), liner take-up and a factory-installed full-roll rewinder for printed labels.
  • Connectivity. The two open slots take a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) card with Bluetooth 5.3 or a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) card with Bluetooth 4.2, a second Ethernet port, a parallel port or an applicator interface.
  • RFID. UHF RFID (EPC Gen2 v2.1, ISO/IEC 18000-63) is available factory-fitted in the ZT421 RFID model or as a module installed on site in a standard ZT421. The printer selects the optimal encoding settings automatically.

Zebra ZT421 – printer maintenance: ribbon, labels, platen roller, printhead

The video shows how to load the ribbon and labels and replace the platen roller and printhead in the Zebra ZT421.

Zebra ZT411 vs ZT421 – print speed test

In this video we compare the print speed of the Zebra ZT411 and Zebra ZT421.

Most frequently asked questions

ZT421 or ZT411 – which one to choose?

Label width decides. The ZT421 prints up to 168 mm, the ZT411 up to 104 mm. The ZT411 is faster (356 mm/s vs 305 mm/s) and is the only one with 600 dpi, on-metal RFID, linerless printing and the automated labeling kit.

What are the maximum label dimensions?

Media width from 51 to 178 mm (up to 171 mm with the peeler), print width up to 168 mm. Maximum print length is 2591 mm at 203 dpi and 1143 mm at 300 dpi. Rolls up to 203 mm in diameter on a 76 mm core.

Can the ZT421 print RFID labels?

Yes. There is a factory ZT421 RFID model, and a standard ZT421 can be upgraded with a UHF RFID module installed on site. The version for thicker on-metal RFID labels is available only for the ZT411.

Can it print without a PC?

Yes. Label formats are stored in the printer memory, and data is entered with a scanner or keyboard connected to the USB host ports. The ZKDU keyboard display unit is an alternative.

Does the ZT421 have Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi is optional: a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) card with Bluetooth 5.3 or a Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) card with Bluetooth 4.2 is fitted in one of the two open slots, also after purchase. Standard interfaces are USB, RS-232, Ethernet, Bluetooth and two USB host ports.
