Zebra ZT411 Industrial Label Printer

Overview

Configure Your Way With Multiple Connectivity Options

The ZT400 comes standard with Ethernet, Serial, USB, dual USB Host and Bluetooth® 4.2. Add the optional dual-band wireless card with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for blazing fast and reliable wireless connections.
Built to Handle a Wide Range of Media and Applications

You can count on the ZT400 to print a variety of different label formats on a variety of different media types. 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 Zebra DNA tools for years to come.
Enhance Productivity Sustainably With ZeroLiner

With Zebra ZeroLiner Linerless Printing Solution offered with the ZT411 only, you can boost productivity with up to 50% more labels per roll, minimizing downtime from roll changes and eliminating the hassle of peeling backing liners. Embrace sustainability with reduced waste and CO2 emissions, thanks to the elimination of backing liners and reduced material usage. Engineered for minimal adhesive buildup, the linerless ZT411 is specifically designed and tested for use with Zebra ZeroLiner labels and is offered in all dpi options for many applications. The factory-installed linerless option is direct thermal only, further reducing environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary parts. Alternatively, a linerless upgrade kit is now available for existing ZT411 printers. This field-installable kit allows for an easy conversion of your ZT411 fleet, maintaining versatility to switch to thermal transfer printing as your needs evolve.

Easy Media and Ribbon Loading

The side-loading supplies path makes loading simpler, faster, and more intuitive. The color-coded media path guides you on how to thread the media and ribbon through the printer, while lighted paths make it easy to see, even in poorly lit environments.
Space-Saving Design For an Easier Fit

Constructed using a bi-fold door, these printers are designed to easily fit in space-constrained environments. ENERGY STAR® qualified, they save you money throughout their lifecycle.
Direct Connection to Your Industrial Ethernet Network

With the Network Connect option, you can connect ZT400 printers directly to your Industrial Ethernet network without any additional equipment. This eliminates vulnerability points, improves security and saves man-hours in setup, management and troubleshooting.
Pair Devices and Access Information at a Touch

With the Print Touch™ app, you can pair ZT400 Series printers to NFC-enabled devices with a simple tap. Dynamic QR codes give you immediate access to the data you need, including Zebra how-to videos and product support.
