The QLn420’s over-molding and tempered-glass display—coupled with
its seamless, one-piece design—make it more durable than ever before.
The QLn printer can boost your operation’s productivity through a larger,
sharper + easier-to-navigate display, faster, higher-quality printing, a
variety of proactive alerts that help keep working printers in employees’
hands and many convenient charging accessories. And, your IT
department will find the QLn printer more intuitive to integrate into
existing platforms thanks to Zebra’s Link-OS® environment. Other features
such as Zebra® Global Printing and improved network performance,
including 802.11n wireless LAN capability for more robust and reliable
connectivity and throughput, also make integration easier.
With Zebra’s Link-OS environment—an innovative operating system
combining a powerful Multiplatform Software Development Kit (SDK) and
software applications—the QLn family of printers is easy to integrate,
manage and maintain from any location around the globe. Enabled with
Print Touch™, these Link-OS printers offer web-page launching features
using Near Field Communication (NFC), making it easy to access Zebra’s
extensive knowledge base of how-to videos and product support.
Easier to Integrate, Manage and Maintain
New features make it easier to integrate the QLn printer into your
existing network and manage it from anywhere in the world, saving
you IT time and costs.
Easier to Integrate
Move your business forward without the cost or stress of upgrades.
Backwards compatibility with QL and QL Plus™ models lets you upgrade
to the QLn printer without changing media or label formats. The inclusion
of the legacy CPCL programming language also allows mixed networks of
QL/QL Plus and QLn products.
Be assured of full compatibility with many other Zebra printers thanks to
Zebra’s ZPL® programming language. And with ZBI 2.x™, directly connect
your printers with legacy host systems and peripheral devices, such as
scanners and scales.
Maintain robust and reliable connectivity, even for your largest data
transfers, with Wi-Fi®-certified connectivity. Zebra’s 802.11n solution
has dual-band support (5GHz and 2.4GHz) and is fully compatible
with 802.11a and 802.11b/g standards, so you can easily move business
operations to the less-crowded 5GHz band.
The Link-OS tools include:
- Software Development Kit: Create printing applications for
Windows®, Apple®, Android™, Windows® CE, Windows® Mobile and
BlackBerry® platforms.
- Cloud Connect: Connect to the Cloud directly and securely,
forwarding data from any port.
- Virtual Devices: Support multiple programming languages on one
printer and integrate Zebra Link-OS printers into existing legacy
systems.
- Print Touch: Simplify Bluetooth® pairing and launch web-based help
pages with NearField Communication-enabled devices.
Quickly configure single printers with the Zebra Setup Utility and enable
global printer management with ZebraNet™ Bridge Enterprises.
Efficiently print and optimize your labels and receipts with ZebraDesigner™
Pro for label and receipt design and ZebraDesigner drivers for Windows.
Print multiple languages on a single label or receipt using Zebra’s
Unicode™ UTF-16-compliant Global Printing Solution.
Work with the confidence that comes with industry-leading solutions.
The QLn420™ features improved communication with leading handheld
terminals that have been tested and verified for maximum interoperability
when using the printer with validated terminals. Zebra Independent
Software Vendor (ISV) Partners create industry-leading software solutions
to solve business problems, and Zebra works closely with these ISVs
to integrate printing and other capabilities of Zebra products.

applications to get the job done, and you can manage the simple admin
console remotely on your PC, tablet or smartphone.
Keep printers in service longer by managing specific, local printer and
battery issues remotely over a wired IP network, including Serial and
Bluetooth, via a Zebra Ethernet cradle. And with AirWatch™ Connector,
you can quickly connect your printer with the AirWatch devicemanagement
system via WLAN and Ethernet.
Automatically update printer firmware and configuration from a file
server over 802.11 or Ethernet interfaces with the mirror function.
Manage QLn printers using most of the popular third-party management
software solutions. The printers also fully support Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
Easier to Maintain
Reduce wasted time and lost productivity with the PowerPrecision+
battery, which indicates the power and health of a printer’s battery.
Effortlessly manage your printers and firmware by connecting your
devices to your wired Ethernet network and/or cradle.
Easier and More Efficient to Use
Multiple enhancements deliver significant operational advantages over
the previous-generation QL and QL Plus series mobile printers.
Easier to Use
The QLn420 was designed to optimize business processes through easy
operation and mobility, reducing training requirements and increasing
worker productivity.
Meet the increasing demand for mobile printing across different operating
systems. QLn printers are “Made for iPod®, iPhone®, iPad®” certified and
also support Android and Windows devices via Multiplatform SDK apps.
Easily operate the printer using simple-to-navigate controls and a user-friendly
interface, which includes a help menu and alert messages.
Quickly access Zebra’s extensive knowledge base of how-to videos and
product support with Print Touch-enabled Web page launching features.
Conveniently carry and store the printer thanks to a smaller design.
Achieve faster, higher-quality printing with lower power use through
Power Smart Print Technology.
Experience higher performance:
- Faster processing and throughput.
- Increased memory that handles printer’s advanced functions and
future firmware improvements and stores more complex fonts,
graphics and images.
Increase user and operational efficiencies with convenient charging
accessories.
Longer Printer Uptime
Improve operational productivity and reduce costs associated with
downtime through fewer printing interruptions.
Monitor and manage the printer remotely using the Windows PC-based
AirWatch Connector.
Prevent associates from being stuck printerless in the middle of their
work. The printer enables proactive maintenance by displaying printer
alert messages, battery charge and health status.
Avoid the downtime and costs of unnecessarily sending the printer away
for servicing. Many issues can be remotely diagnosed and resolved
(including firmware updates, configuration changes, and adding new
fonts or graphics) over an Ethernet connection.
