When it comes to the G-Series of printers, the Zebra GK420D is the best. It delivers the finest in class as far as speed and performance. This model is feature-rich, trustworthy, durable, and flexible to fit nearly any low to mid volume printing application and budget. Here are some uses for the Zebra GK420D

You can print broader labels and more with compact desktop label printers that fit all your needs. These flexible direct thermal label printers are ideal for your applications.

The Zebra GK420D monochrome desktop direct thermal label printer comes equipped with Ethernet and USB ports, prints 5" per second in black at 203 dpi, and can often be used to print labels, tags, invoices, or other media up to 4.09" wide. Direct heat-based printers use heat instead of ink and are typically smaller, quieter, quicker, and more energy-efficient than dot-matrix printers. The GK420d has a maximum print speed of 5" per second at 203 dpi (dots per inch) and prints labels up to 39" long. The 32-bit processor combined with the 8 MB of SDRAM memory and 4 MB of flash memory offers fast first label printing with intensive media graphics. The Ethernet port enables the printer to be attached to a wired computer network (Ethernet twine sold separately). A USB port and an included USB cable provide connectivity to a computer or another gadget. EPL and ZPL coding languages are standard.

The GK420d printer's double-walled casing is made from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which helps resist impact. An open-access design facilitates media loading. A reflective sensor allows the printer to spot the gaps, holes, notches, or black marks between labels to print the labels exactly. A transmissive sensor enables it to spot when a roll of media has run out. The auto-detectable power adapter can accept AC power between 100 and 240 volts. This printer is acceptable for use with black bar, black mark, continuing, continuing receipt, die-cut, fanfold, opening, notched, punctured, receipt, roll-fed, tag, or tag stock media (all sold singly). The maximum outside diameter for rolls is 5".
