Good to know

The ZT421 supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer media, giving you flexibility for short-lived shipping labels or long-lasting chemical-resistant tags. Dual media sensors (transmissive and reflective) ensure accurate label positioning, and the large media capacity reduces downtime in high-volume operations.
