Key Features

Compact Design

This small foot-print printer fits easily on a desktop and leaves plenty of space on the work bench for any other tasks it might be needed for. The small size of the ZD also allows for easy transport and storage of printers for as needed use.

Multiple Communication Methods

The ZD series offers a variety of communication methods, some standard and others optional. This ensures easy integration into your current operation and the ability to integrate further as your facility grows.

• RS-232 auto-sensing serial interface
• DB-9 (standard)
• USB V2.0, bi-directional (standard)
• Centronics Parallel (standard)
• Ethernet- 10/100 internal (standard)

Media Compatibility

The ZD series offers print width capacities of up to 4.09 inches, perfect for most laboratory applications. All models in this series also feature a moveable sensor to accommodate smaller media widths and a variety of print marking systems.

Optional Cutter and Peeler

All three models offer the option to add an additional peeler for label dispensing. This optional peel-and-present feature increases application speeds and reduces effort required in the labelling process. Some facilities prefer to utilise a printer with a cutter instead, which is available on both the ZD 420 and ZD 620. 

Interface Options

Between the three models a range of interface options are available, from the incredibly minimalistic single button and single LED light interface that comes standard on the 220 and the 420, to the 10 button interface on the 620 that additionally features a small LCD screen. The range of options allows you to choose which interface will be the most useful in your facility.

Why is the ZD-Series a Good Fit for Laboratory Applications?

The ZD series is a range of fairly standard desktop printers with varying features and benefits allowing your facility to pick and choose which features will most benefit your processes.

With its small size and ability to print high image quality and durable thermal transfer labels, the Zebra ZD is well suited for labs of all kinds where space might be tight and labels may face harsh conditions.

Additionally, if your lab requires sanitary conditions, both the ZD420 and ZD620 are available in a healthcare version capable of withstanding common lab sanitisation processes—including gamma ray radiation.

How much does a Zebra ZD Printer Cost?

The overall cost of your ZD printer will range from around $550-$1,000 when you purchase from Computype. The factors that go into that cost include the base model you choose, any optional features you add and the service package you choose to go along with your printer.
