ZT411 / ZT421 RFID

4- and 6-inch RFID industrial printers built on the proven reliability of the Z Series, taking versatility, ease of use and performance further.

Ethernet, USB, USB Host and Bluetooth are standard, and optional dual-band Wi-Fi can be added. A side-loading, colour-coded and illuminated media path makes loading easy. The RFID encoder can be installed at the factory or in the field. The On-Metal model prints and encodes RFID tags that work on all surfaces, including metal.
