The Zebra GK420t monochrome desktop direct thermal/thermal transfer label printer comes equipped with an Ethernet port, prints 5″ per second at 203 dpi in a single color, and can be utilized to print labels, tags, receipts, or other media up to 4.09″ wide. This middle level desktop printer can serve as an immediate thermal printer, which heats thermal paper to produce the print, or as a thermal transfer printer, which heats a ribbon to produce the print on the paper. Direct thermal/thermal transfer printers use heat instead of ink and are generally smaller, quieter, faster, and more energy-efficient than dot-matrix printers. The GK420t 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 8 MB of SDRAM memory and 4 MB of flash memory offers faster first label printing with extensive media graphics. The Ethernet port enables the printer to be connected to a wired computer network (Ethernet cord sold one by one). A USB port and an included USB cable provide connectivity to a pc or another device. EPL and ZPL programming languages are standard.

The GK420t printer’s double-walled casing is made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which helps face up to affect. An open-access design facilitates media loading. The printer automatically detects installed media and calibrates to the media type and length for accurate printing. A reflective sensor allows the printer to identify the gaps, holes, notches, or black marks between labels to print the labels correctly. A transmissive sensor enables it to detect when a roll of media has run out. An odometer can be utilized to track the print length. The auto-detectable power adapter can accept AC power between 100 and 240 volts. This product is suitable to be used with black bar, black mark, continuous, continuous receipt, die-cut, fanfold, gap, notched, perforated, receipt, roll-fed, tag, or tag stock media (all sold one by one). The maximum outdoor diameter for rolls is 5″.
