Zebra ZD621-HC Desktop Label Printer (ZD6AH43-30ER02EZ)

The Zebra ZD621t-HC is the healthcare version of Zebra's premium 4-inch ZD621 desktop printer – the successor to the ZD620-HC, made for prescription, lab and specimen, blood and IV bag and patient record labels as well as patient ID wristbands. As a thermal transfer model with a dual-capacity ribbon holder it takes both 74 m and 300 m ribbons for durable, smudge-proof labels on paper and synthetic materials. It prints sharp 300 dpi labels up to 108 mm wide at up to 152 mm/s (6 ips), and the standard 4.3-inch colour touch display guides staff through setup, media loading and calibration. White, disinfectant-ready and UV-resistant plastics with a sealed button interface withstand constant cleaning, and the IEC 60601-1 certified power supply is approved for use in healthcare facilities. This version, ZD6AH43-30ER02EZ, adds the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) + Bluetooth 5.3 radio to USB, USB Host, Ethernet and RS-232 serial for fast, secure wireless network and mobile printing; the power supply, EU and UK power cords and a USB cable are included, so it is ready to print as soon as you add labels and a ribbon.

Technical Specifications

Which ZD621-HC should you choose? The ZD621d-HC (direct thermal) needs no ribbon and suits patient wristbands, specimen and short-life labels; the ZD621t-HC uses 74 m or 300 m ribbon rolls for durable labels on paper and synthetic media – for example lab labels that must survive freezers and solvents. 203 dpi suits most barcodes and labels, while 300 dpi gives crisper small text and tiny 2D codes on specimen tubes. Every version has Ethernet and serial; choose Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 to print wirelessly on the hospital network.
