ZD420 Healthcare Desktop Printers

A New Level of Ease-of-Use, Application Flexibility, Management Simplicity and TCO

Easy to Use with Practically No Training Required

New at-a-glance five LED icons take the guesswork out of printer status
A three-button user interface with five LED status icons replaces the typical single button/single light interface common in desktop printers. There’s no guesswork involved—users can instantly see what’s needed to keep printers up and running, from replenishing media to resolving printer issues.

Deployment and Application Flexibility

Backwards compatibility with virtually any existing printer
Whether you are currently using a Zebra or competitive printer, you’ll be able to use the same label formats and applications you’re using today. The ZD420-HC supports both EPL and ZPL printer languages. And with on-printer Virtual Devices, a Zebra Print DNA tools, the ZD420-HC supports languages normally associated with other printer brands.

Multiple connectivity options
With multiple connection options, you can connect the ZD420-HC to your existing wired and wireless networks, or directly to any PC. The ZD420-HC comes standard with USB and USB Host. You can also choose optional Ethernet or serial and a dual wireless radio that offers the very latest wireless options, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and MFi certified Bluetooth 4.1, which enables printing from any iOS device. And using the included Print Touch tag (NFC), users can simply tap a compatible mobile device on the ZD420-HC to pair and print—as well as instantly access Zebra’s extensive knowledge base of how-to videos.

Easy to clean and sanitize
Disinfectant-ready plastics and a sealed-button interface make the ZD420-HC easy to clean and disinfect, helping prevent the spread of germs in hospitals and clinics. With UV-resistant housing, the ZD420-HC supports the growing use of UV-cleaning protocols. And the power supply is IEC 60601-1 compliant for use in healthcare facilities.

Optional battery for cordless operation
With the removable desktop-battery power option, you can easily transport the ZD420-HC printer on a workstation on wheels for on-the-spot label printing at patient bedside and in the lab to reduce opportunity for errors and improve patient safety. The battery housing mounts securely to the printer base and connecting the battery is as simple as snapping the battery into the housing. And the high-capacity battery can power it all for a full shift—the printer at maximum print speed, along with a peeler, cutter and keyboard.

Sharp 300dpi printing for crisp labels
High-resolution printing 300dpi printing is ideal for the tiny labels on everything from patient records and patient wristbands to medication prescriptions and tiny specimen vials. And if you don’t need 300dpi printing today, you can easily add it onsite using an accessory kit.

Movable sensor for comprehensive media compatibility
The ZD420-HC’s movable media sensor lets you use virtually any media from any manufacturer, giving you the flexibility to utilize supplies you may have on hand or continue to utilize any existing supplies provider.

Easy to Manage

Easily manage all your printers from a single location
The ZD420-HC supports Zebra Link-OS, a one-of-a-kind enterprise printer operating system that makes it easier than ever to manage and troubleshoot your networked printers from one remote location. With optional Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, you can manage one printer, a group of specific printers or all printers anywhere in the world. Instantly discover every ZD420-HC printer on your network—there’s no need to walk through the facility to locate, configure or troubleshoot printers. And an intuitive browser-based interface lets you see printer status at a glance, complete with information that allows you to quickly triage printer issues to prevent or minimize downtime.

Seamless integration with your device management system
With our MDM Connectors, you can easily integrate networked ZD420-HC printers into your AirWatch or SOTI MobiControl device management system.

Easily configure non-networked printers
With the USB Host port you can easily upgrade printer firmware automatically, set up new printer configurations and connect to all your external devices, including keyboards and scanners.

Maximize uptime with Zebra Visibility Services
If you’re still tracking your printers manually, then you are likely missing out on information that could save you money. With Zebra, you can choose powerful visibility service options that deliver critical insight into the information you need to prevent printer downtime. Our Asset Visibility Service (AVS) provides the basic health information and proactive steps required to keep your ZD420-HC printers up and running—all for just pennies a day. The full-featured Operational Visibility Service (OVS) allows you to monitor just about any aspect of your Zebra printer, as well service and repair status. See the current status and disposition of all of your printers, printers at a specific site, specific printer models or a specific printer—and much more.

Innovative features for the lowest TCO

Zebra Print DNA—transforming printers from the inside
Print DNA is the genetic code that injects business-catalytic capabilities into our Link-OS printers through its unique combination of innovative applications, utilities and developer tools. The result is a superior printing experience through better performance, simplified remote manageability and easier integration.

Add new features right on site for superior future-proofing
If you need new communication or media-handling options in the future, no problem—the printer you buy today can support tomorrow’s needs. The modular, field upgradable design allows you to add serial or Ethernet connectivity, 300dpi support, plus a peeler or a cutter, right on site—no need to send the ZD420-HC to a service depot.

Safeguard prescription forms with optional locking features
The locking media cabinet prevents unauthorized access to high-value media, such as blank prescription forms. And the built-in Kensington® lock slot makes it easy to attach the printer to a desk or table for additional security. (Locking features are available on ZD420d-HC only.)

Lower your costs with a high-capacity ribbon
Intelligent dual-ribbon handling allows the ZD420t-HC to accept either 74m (244ft) or high-capacity 300m (984ft) ribbons. The 300m ribbon reduces ribbon changes by 75 percent for fewer workflow disruptions. And since the high-capacity ribbon costs less per meter than the standard ribbon, you’ll also save on the cost of supplies.

Tidier and safer installations
When you choose the optional power-supply accessory, the power supply and all but one power cord are hidden from view, improving aesthetics as well as worker and patient safety.

Consistently exceptional Zebra Certified Supplies
Printing supplies can impact everything from printhead lifespan to operational efficiency. That’s why we design, produce and rigorously pretest our own line of thermal-printing supplies to ensure consistent, optimized performance in your Zebra printer—and peace of mind for you.

Protect your investment with an affordable service plan
Without a service plan, a single repair can cost more than the printer and can take weeks to complete—but comprehensive service plans are too costly, offering excessive coverage your desktop printers simply don’t need. Now, Zebra OneCare SV provides the right level of service at the right price, providing two years of coverage for normal wear and tear, double the standard warranty coverage, priority turnaround times at the depot and more—all for a tiny fraction of the cost of a single repair.
