Zebra GX420t: a compact, high-performance thermal printer for demanding environments
The Zebra GX420t thermal printer is a cutting-edge solution for labelling needs in a variety of professional environments, from laboratories to logistics warehouses. It combines direct thermal and thermal transfer printing technologies, offering great flexibility depending on the materials used and usage constraints. Thanks to this dual capability, users can choose the most suitable media type based on the desired label life or exposure conditions.
With a print speed of up to 152 mm per second, the GX420t ensures a fast and efficient workflow. This performance is accompanied by a resolution of 203 dpi, guaranteeing clear and legible printing, even for small characters and complex barcodes. It is equipped with a powerful 32-bit processor and 8 MB of flash memory, ensuring smooth operation even during intensive processing. The memory capacity also allows for easy storage of custom fonts, formats and graphics, further improving operational efficiency.
The printer's ergonomic design has been thought out to make life easier for users. Zebra's exclusive double-wall shell opening makes loading consumables particularly easy. Ribbon or media replacement is quick, minimising interruptions and downtime. In addition, the GX420t's compact housing allows it to fit easily onto any work surface, even in confined spaces.
When it comes to connectivity, the GX420t stands out for its flexibility. It comes standard with USB, serial and parallel ports, while an Ethernet interface is available as an option for easy network integration. This versatility makes it a smart choice for heterogeneous or evolving infrastructures. The printer also supports EPL™ and ZPL® languages, ensuring compatibility with existing Zebra applications and simplifying the transition for users accustomed to other models from the brand.
The reliability of the GX420t is enhanced by its rugged design: the internal components are designed to withstand the daily demands of intensive professional use. This thermal printer offers remarkable stability. The wide range of accessories available complements this ruggedness by adding specific features such as a cutter, external unwinder or stand-alone keyboard.
The GX420t is part of Zebra's philosophy of sustainability and efficiency. It consumes little energy, is easy to maintain and can be integrated into centralised device management strategies using Zebra software tools such as ZebraNet™ Bridge. It therefore represents a long-term investment that can adapt to changing business needs while ensuring a rapid return on investment.
