Zebra ZD621R Barcode Printer

Description:

The Zebra ZD621R Desktop RFID Printer represents the pinnacle of innovation and reliability in RFID printing technology. Engineered to deliver exceptional performance across various industries, this printer combines advanced features with user-friendly design to streamline RFID tag encoding and printing operations, enhancing productivity and efficiency.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Utilizes thermal transfer printing technology, requiring ribbons along with labels to produce high-quality, durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures (ribbons not included).
• Print Speed: Delivers a print speed of up to 8 inches (203 mm) per second at 203 dpi resolution, making it suitable for 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 ZD621R 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:

• Robust Construction: Features a durable 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 an option for:
  • Standard LCD Display: Most models offer a basic LCD display for status and configuration.
  • Color Touch LCD (on some models): Provides intuitive navigation, configuration, monitoring printer status, and interacting with RFID features.

Advanced Connectivity Options (depending on the model):

• Extensive Options:
  • Standard USB 2.0 port for direct connection to a computer.
  • Optional Ethernet port for network printing.
  • Optional Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® connectivity for wireless printing. (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, custom configurations, and RFID data.
  • 256 MB SDRAM memory ensures smooth operation, especially for complex printing tasks with high-resolution graphics and RFID encoding.

Advanced Features:

• Print DNA Software Suite (Basic or Full Version): Depending on the model, the ZD621R 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 and adjust settings for optimal printing.
• Integrated Zebra RE40 RFID Reader/Encoder: This is the core functionality of the ZD621R model. The built-in RE40 module allows you to encode RFID tags along with barcode printing for asset tracking, inventory management, or other applications requiring item identification.
• Field-Upgradeable Options: The ZD621R offers similar upgrade options as the ZD621 for functionalities like label peelers, cutters, feeders, and rewinders (sold separately).
• Large User-Expandable Memory (on some models): Some models might allow expanding memory further using SD cards for storing additional fonts, graphics, and downloaded formats.
