Direct Thermal-Thermal Transfer Desktop Printer

• Media loading is simplified thanks to the OpenACCESS™ design, which tucks the printhead into the printer’s top cover,
  and provides a clear media window for easy monitoring.
• Maximize workplace efficiency with a 5-inch media roll capacity (for fewer label roll changes) and a space-saving, compact design.
• Durable, dual-wall construction ensures that Desktop series printers will withstand rough handling in a busy work environment.
• Provided with free barcode label software and barcode font.

Zebra’s Desktop printer family offers direct thermal and thermal transfer models for 2 and 4 inch wide printing - each with distinctive characteristics to ensure your specific application is fully satisfied. These Desktop series printers integrate easily into a variety of mid to low volume printing applications including:

• Shipping/Receiving
• Warehouse shelf labeling and inventory control
• Healthcare specimen labeling and patient tracking
• Retail product marking, shelf labeling, and coupon and receipt printing
• Transportation/Logistics
• E-commerce postage

Zebra printers are available in combined direct thermal and thermal transfer models: 

• Direct Thermal - is a less expensive method of printing labels. This method requires only one label roll because the printhead burns the image directly on the labels. However, the labels can be easily damaged by heat or pressure.
• Thermal Transfer - produces the highest quality labels. This method requires one label roll and one film or ribbon roll because the print head burns the image on the film first and then the film is pressed on the labels. If unsure of what technology is needed, order this model because it also supports direct thermal printing.
