Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Methods: Offers two options depending on the model:
  • Direct Thermal: Utilizes heat-sensitive labels for faster printing at a lower cost, suitable for short-term labels.
  • Thermal Transfer: Uses ribbons along with labels to produce high-quality, durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures (ribbons not included). Ideal for applications requiring long-lasting labels.
• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 8 inches (203 mm) per second at 203 dpi resolution, making it suitable for handling moderate to high printing volumes. An optional 300 dpi model might be available with a slightly slower print speed.
• Print Resolution: Provides two resolution options for different levels of detail:
  • 203 dpi (dots per inch): Ideal for clear and legible printing of barcodes, text, and basic graphics. This is the standard resolution on most ZD621 models.
  • 300 dpi (optional): Available on some models, this higher resolution allows for sharper details and smaller barcodes, suitable for applications requiring intricate graphics or high-density information.

Durability and Design:

• Premium Construction: Features a robust double-walled construction for reliable performance in demanding environments.
• Media Capacity: Accommodates labels with a maximum print width of 4.09 inches (104 mm) for 203 dpi resolution and 4.27 inches (108 mm) for 300 dpi resolution. Wider media capacities might be available on some models.

Usability and Interface:

• User-Friendly Controls: Integrates a user-friendly control panel with options that might include:
  • Standard LCD Display: Most models offer a basic LCD display for status and configuration.
  • Optional Color Touch LCD: Some models come with a high-resolution color touchscreen display for intuitive navigation, configuration, and monitoring printer status.

Advanced Connectivity Options (depending on the model):

• Extensive Options: Provides a wider range of connectivity options for integration into various network configurations:
  • Standard USB 2.0 port for direct connection to a computer.
  • Optional Ethernet port for network printing.
  • Optional Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® connectivity: Enables wireless printing for more placement flexibility. (Availability might vary by model)
  • Serial RS-232 port (availability might vary by model) for compatibility with older devices.
  • Optional Dual Radios: Some models offer advanced options like dual radios with 802.11ac Wi-Fi for faster wireless connections and Bluetooth® 4.1 for mobile device printing.

Memory and Processing Power:

• Enhanced Performance: Offers increased memory and processing power compared to previous ZD400 series models:
  • 512 MB Flash memory provides ample space for storing fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and custom configurations.
  • 256 MB SDRAM memory ensures smooth operation, especially for complex printing tasks with high-resolution graphics.

Advanced Features:

• Print DNA Software Suite (Basic or Full Version): Depending on the model, the ZD621 might include either the basic or full Zebra Print DNA suite. The basic version offers label design and printer management tools, while the full version provides a wider range of functionalities for design, security, and integration with other software.
• Link-OS® Enabled: Supports Zebra's Link-OS operating system, allowing for basic and remote printer management through a web interface or mobile app (on compatible devices). This provides features like monitoring printer status, configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Media Sensors: Equipped with sensors to automatically detect label types (like gap, notch, or black mark) and adjust settings for optimal printing.
• Field-Upgradeable Options: The ZD621 offers flexibility by allowing the installation of optional accessories (sold separately) to expand functionalities:
  • Label Peelers or Cutters: Automate label separation for improved workflow efficiency.
  • Media Feeders: Enable continuous label feeding for high-volume printing.
  • Rewinders: Take up excess label liner for better organization.
• Large User-Expandable Memory (on some models): Some models might offer the option to expand memory further using SD cards for storing additional fonts, graphics, and downloaded formats.
