ZD400-series Printers Make Regional Debut

Bangkok, Thailand – July 11th, 2016: Zebra Technologies Corporation, a global leader in providing solutions and services that give enterprises real-time visibility into their operations, unveiled its new ZD400-series desktop thermal printers.

E-commerce continues to grow and retailers compete for customer loyalty in an increasingly digital and connected world. Both retailers and logistics enterprises need to further increase their efficiency and flexibility to ensure business process visibility and fast delivery. This is in order to deliver a consistent, integrated shopping experience to meet growing and ever-changing demands from customers.

Designed for retail, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare industries, the ZD400-series is flexible and user-friendly, making deployment, use, and troubleshooting easier. With connectivity options and Zebra’s Link-OS™software, users can also manage all printers anywhere via the Cloud, gaining real-time asset intelligence across the enterprise.

ZD410/ZD420 DESKTOP PRINTERS KEY FACTS
• ZD410 is designed for the smallest work spaces. The ultra-compact 2-inch direct thermal printer can be placed conveniently wherever employees need to work and is ideal for printing high-quality labels, receipts, and tags in applications including pharmacy prescription labels, shelf labeling, price markdowns and scale labels.
• ZD420 is the first desktop thermal transfer printer with an easy-to-load ribbon cartridge that significantly reduces the downtime required to reload printer ribbons. This makes it easier for warehouse staff – permanent, temporary or seasonal – to operate, hence improving operational productivity. The ZD420 also provides helpful information to the user including type of ribbon and the amount of ribbon remaining in the cartridge.
• Both printers are future-ready as they are the only printers in their respective classes to offer both IEEE 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. They are also equipped with 512MB of flash memory and 256MB of SDRAM.
• Both ZD410 and ZD420 are Link-OS™-enabled, making them easier for store workers to use and IT to manage. With new status icons, users can instantly identify and rectify printer issues while IT can remotely manage all printers through an easy-to-use, web-based interface. The Virtual Devices application enables the simple replacement of non-Zebra printers.
• Zebra OneCare services are available in three service levels to help maximize the availability and productivity of Zebra printers.
• The ZD400-series printers will be available across Asia-Pacific region starting in Q2.

Zebra is showcasing the ZD400-series desktop printers – together with other revolutionary products like the TC8000 mobile computer, which increases warehouse productivity by an average of 14%; and the RFD8500 sled that gives high-performance RFID and barcode scanning capabilities to Android, iOS and Windows mobile devices.
