Elevate your expectations: the advanced desktop printer that delivers the features, flexibility, reliability and security you need You need

a reliable printer that delivers quality performance, now and for years to come. It needs to offer key features, and be easy to setup, operate, manage and maintain - onsite or remotely. It needs to be secure, whether it is integrated onto your network or not, to prevent downtime and costly cyberattacks. You need it. Zebra delivers it, for more than 50 years. We design our printers to match your workflows, ensuring they are hassle-free and ready to work. Day in and day out. We're always innovating to deliver the best to help you advance your business and be ready for what's next. Building on the legacy of Zebra's popular GK Series, ZD421 printers add even more capabilities and security measures to set you up for years of use.

It's Time to Advance | Migrate from G to Z

The ZD421 builds on the legacy of Zebra's GK Series printers, offering you the functions and capabilities of its predecessor - and much more. The next-generation ZD421 leverages this heritage to deliver advanced features for a new era of intelligence and forward flexibility.

Simple to Use | Intuitive and Powerful Operation

The ZD421 offers new, advanced features that make it stand apart. It includes a new, more intuitive user interface, powerful architecture and field-upgradeable wireless kit. It also has new media guide and media handling designs that make daily operation even easier.

Flexible to Support Nearly Every Use Case

Multiple Models to Match Your Needs

Available in direct thermal, thermal transfer, healthcare and ribbon cartridge models, the ZD421 meets a wide variety of application requirements.

Ready for Now and What's Next

Get Years of Printing Performance

The ZD421 is designed to handle advancing technology. Featuring an innovative architecture, it's engineered to power future printing. In comparison, it's 30% more powerful than the ZD420 Series and 700% more than the GK Series. This lets you run more tasks, perform more operations simultaneously, maintain security and be ready for what's next.

Backwards Compatible with Virtually Any Existing Printer

Deploy your ZD421 into your existing printer fleet with confidence. Use the same label formats and applications you're using today. It supports both EPL and ZPL printer languages, and can emulate languages normally associated with other printer brands using Zebra's Print DNA tool, Virtual Devices.

Connect it Your Way

Integrate your ZD421 onto your existing wired and wireless networks, or connect it directly to any PC. Every ZD421 comes standard with USB and USB Host, and offers optional Ethernet, Serial and dual wireless radio with fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi™ and Bluetooth® 4.1. Print from any Windows®, Android™ or iOS® device. Get your ZD421 up and running with Zebra's printer setup mobile app using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Use the included Print Touch tag (NFC) to simply tap to pair and print.

Advanced Flexibility and Features | Operate with Ease and See Status At-A-Glance

Take the guesswork out of printer status with the ZD421's five LED icons to instantly see what's needed to keep your printers up and running, from replenishing media to resolving printer issues. The advanced three-button user interface replaces the typical single-button/single-light interface common in desktop printers to offer added functionality and control. And, color-coded touch points guide you through media-handling tasks for speedy media changes.
