The Zebra GK420D monochrome desktop direct thermal label printer comes outfitted with Ethernet and USB ports, prints 5″ per second in black at 203 dpi, and can frequently be used to print labels, tags, bills, or other media up to 4.09″ wide. Direct heat printers use heat instead of ink and are often smaller, quieter, faster, and more energy efficient than dot-matrix printers. The GK420d has a maximum print speed of 5″ per second at 203 dpi (dots per in.) 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 extensive media graphics. The Ethernet port enables the printer to be connected to a wired computer network (Ethernet wire sold singly). A USB port and an included USB wire provide connectivity to a computer or another machine. EPL and ZPL programming languages are standard.

The GK420d printer’s double-walled surrounding is made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which helps resist impact. An open-access design helps media loading. A reflective sensor grants the printer to spot the gaps, holes, notches, or black marks between labels to print the labels accurately. A transmissive sensor enables it to recognize 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 appropriate for use with black bar, black mark, continual, continuing invoice, die-cut, fanfold, gap, notched, perforated, invoice, roll-fed, tag, or tag stock media (all sold separately). The maximum outside diameter for rolls is 5″.
