KEY FACTS
- As part of the extended Zebra DNA
capabilities, the company is introducing Print DNA - a suite of
software capabilities, applications and tools powered by the
intelligent Link-OS® environment.
Print DNA is comprised of visibility, productivity, development and
management tools that differentiate the enterprise capabilities of
Zebra mobile, desktop and industrial printers.
- Print DNA enables businesses to easily
install and upgrade next-generation printers into existing network
infrastructures, integrate new technologies, allow for cloud
connectivity and provide a common, customizable platform for custom
application solution development.
- Both the ZD420 and ZD620 “smart”
thermal printers are designed with simplicity of use in mind and
provide best-in-class print speeds while maintaining premium print
quality for fast-paced retail, healthcare and manufacturing
environments. The printers also provide businesses with features
that include multiple connectivity options and
backwards-compatibility with legacy Zebra desktop printers to help
best meet the user’s needs.
- The ZD420 and ZD620 offer an intuitive
user interface with LED status icons so users can save time and
easily see what’s needed to keep printers up and running, from
resolving printer issues to replenishing media. The ZD620 is
available with an optional keypad user interface for easy
configuration and a color LCD display that clearly indicates
printer status and errors for the immediate resolution of
issues.
- The ZQ320 Series mid-range mobile
printer offers both receipt and label capabilities along with
enhanced wireless connectivity, battery and power management
options. Designed to meet customer needs, a stylish option is
available for customer-facing retail applications while a more
industrial option is ideal for transportation and logistics,
