Keep your critical operations running efficiently with Zebra’s durable ZT400 Series printers. The ZT400 offers advanced technology that drives versatility, ease of use and performance to a new level. Available in three print resolutions and two print widths, the ZT400 Series addresses a broad array of applications throughout manufacturing, transportation and logistics, retail and more. See printer status at a glance and manage settings quickly using the large color touch display. Field-installable connectivity, media handling and RFID options let you easily add new features as your needs evolve. And your IT department will find ZT400 printers easy to integrate and manage, thanks to Zebra’s Print DNA suite of applications, utilities and developer tools–all powered by Link-OS®. The result? The ZT400 offers the versatility, reliability and performance to meet your industrial printing needs — today and tomorrow.

The printer is offered in both 4 in. and 6 in. models, with 203 dpi, 300 dpi and 600 dpi* (600 dpi available on 4 in. ZT411 only). Add factory- or field-installable RFID technology to print and encode labels for greater tracking abilities and deeper visibility. Select Zebra’s exclusive ZT411 RFID On-metal Tagging Solution, which is the only dedicated option for printing and encoding thicker RFID labels for metal containers and assets.

Dual USB Host ports for added flexibility

Dual USB Host ports allow you to directly connect a wide range of USB device types. Use a memory stick to replicate firmware, files and configurations, or easily print and transfer formats. Simplify data entry by simultaneously connecting a scanner and keyboard — with two host ports, there’s no need to plug and unplug peripherals.

Designed to evolve with your needs

You can customize the ZT400 with a range of media handling options that can be installed in minutes. Two open media slots accommodate additional communication options. And, the robust processing power and memory can support firmware upgrades and new Print DNA tools for years to come.

EFFORTLESS TO INTEGRATE AND OPERATE

Large color touch display makes operation a snap

It’s easy to set up and use the ZT400 with its intuitive icon-based interface. The 4.3-inch full-color touch display allows you to quickly navigate printer settings with the user friendly icon menu system to change languages, printer settings, connectivity options and more.
