Zebra ZD411 2-Inch Direct Thermal Label Printer – 203 DPI, USB and Bluetooth LE
The Zebra ZD411 ZD4A022-D01M00EZ is a compact, professional desktop label printer for businesses that need dependable barcode, product, price, inventory, asset, receipt, or identification labels up to approximately two inches wide.
This configuration uses direct thermal printing, so it prints using heat-sensitive labels without ink, toner, or ribbon.

Important: This configuration does not include Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Those connections require a different configuration or a compatible optional connectivity module.

Connectivity and Compatibility
This version is intended primarily for a direct USB connection. Bluetooth Low Energy is included for compatible printer-setup applications and light data transfer; it should not be confused with a full Bluetooth Classic printing connection.
The modular connectivity slot can accept supported field-installable options, but the module must be purchased separately. Confirm the printer interface required by your software before ordering, especially if your deployment requires Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic, or serial connectivity.
Software compatibility depends on the operating system, printer driver, label format, programming language, connection method, and application configuration. Match the complete part number ZD4A022-D01M00EZ against the equipment specification provided by your software or integration partner.
