Both printers share the same internal mechanical components, electrical components and control board. The primary difference between the two printers is the print width and maximum print resolution. ZT411 ZT421 Maximum print width 4.09 in. /104 mm 6.6 in. /168 mm Maximum print speed 14 in. /356 mm per second 12 in. /305 mm per second Print resolution 203, 300, 600 dpi/8, 12, 24 dots per mm 203 and 300 dpi/8 and 12 dots per mm Q: What are the target applications for the ZT400 Series? A: Because the ZT400 printers offer a cost-effective option for rugged, industrial printing needs, they are ideal for use in a wide variety of applications in Manufacturing, Transportation and Logistics, Retail and Healthcare markets. With high-resolution printing capabilities, up to 600 dpi, the ZT411 is an option for applications that require high resolution printing. For applications that utilize very small labels such as electronics, Zebra recommends the ZT600 series

Answer: The ZT411 and ZT421 were launched in October 2019 as replacements for the ZT410 and ZT420. This launch was a product line refresh, not a completely new product. The ZT411/ZT421 added the following features: • Color touch display • Standard dual USB host ports • Printhead element out detection • Bluetooth® 4.2 (upgraded from 2.1) • Optional RFID on-metal tagging (ZT411 only) • Optional linerless (ZT411 only) • Optional applicator interface card • Adjustable transmissive sensor

Answer: Yes, all options are compatible with the ZT411 and ZT421.

Answer: No, the only display option is the color touch

Answer: The ZT400 Series have two available slots for additional communication cards. Zebra offers dual radio 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.2, Parallel and Ethernet communication cards for the ZT400 Series. These cards can be installed without removing the cover from the printer. The card slides into the back of the printer. The process for adding a communication card takes less than two minutes. It is similarly easy to field install media handling options. Peel, cutter and liner take up can be installed in less than five minutes and do not require access to the power side of the printer. The ZT400 Series come with connectors installed on the printer firewall to attach the wiring for the media handling options

Answer: es, linerless printing is an option for the ZT411 only. This special model is specifically designed and tested for use with Zebra ZeroLiner labels. There are two ways to upgrade to linerless: • Factory-installed linerless: Since linerless is only available as direct thermal, this model does not have the capability to print in thermal transfer mode. • Field-installable kit: With this option, the printer maintains the ability to print in thermal transfer mode if needs change in the future

Answer: he ZT400 series media handling options include: • Rewind: internally rewinds a full roll of printed labels on 3 in. core, or peels and rewinds liner (Factory installed only) • Peel: A front mount, passive peel option • Peel: Liner take-up option–additional full roll liner take-up spindle accommodates standard printer base (ZT411 only) • Cutter: A front mount guillotine cutter and catch tray, 1 in. I.D. Core Media Supply Hanger • 1 in. I.D. Core Media Supply Hanger (ZT411 only) • Ink-side in ribbon supply (ZT411 only)

Answer: In addition to standard USB, serial, Ethernet and Bluetooth, the ZT400 Series has optional: • Parallel (Bi-directional interface) • Wireless dual radio with 802.11ac Wi-Fi™ and Bluetooth 4.2 • Ethernet • Applicator interface

Answer: Optional firmware is available that allows the ZT400 Series printers to connect directly to a industrial Ethernet network via the standard RJ-45 connector. This capability is called Network Connect and works with Ethernet/IP networks

Answer: The dual wireless card contains both an integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. The Bluetooth is MFi certified.

Answer: Yes, RFID is a factory-installed or field-upgradeable option for the ZT400

Answer: Zebra offers a version of the ZT411 that enables users to print and encode Silverline labels that are designed to work on a variety of surfaces including metallic cylinders and other challenging surfaces. This on-metal tagging solution can be ordered from the factory or upgraded in the field. The on-metal tagging solution is only available for 203 dpi and 300 dpi models.

Answer: No. The on-metal tagging solution is different than the standard UHF RFID model. Silverline tags are thicker than standard RFID tags so a modified print mechanism is needed to allow the thicker tags to pass under the printhead without binding. Both non-RFID models or a standard UHF RFID models can be upgraded to support on-metal tagging

Answer: Yes, there are two standard USB Host ports. These ports allow you to connect USB devices—such as a keyboard, scanner, or USB flash (memory) drive—to the printer. They can be used for: • Firmware updates • File transfers and management • Data entry devices (keyboards, scales, scanners, and other wedge devices)

Answer: luetooth 4.2 is integrated on the control panel and supports Windows® Mobile, Google Android® and Apple iOS®. In addition, the optional dual wireless radio card contains Bluetooth 4.2.
