Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the ZD621d and ZD621t?
The ZD621d is direct thermal only, so it needs no ribbon. The ZD621t prints thermal transfer with a ribbon (up to 300 m), or direct thermal without one.
Which Zebra printers does the ZD621 replace?
Zebra positions the ZD621 as the successor to the GX Series, ZD500 and ZD620 Series desktop printers.
Can it print 4 x 6 shipping labels?
Yes. It takes media from 0.585 to 4.65 in wide and up to 39 in long, and prints up to 4.27 in wide at 300 dpi.
What roll size and core fit?
Rolls up to 5 in outer diameter on 0.5 in or 1 in cores, and 1.5, 2 or 3 in cores with optional adapters.
What connectivity does it have?
Every ZD621 has Ethernet, USB 2.0, USB Host and Serial, plus Bluetooth LE for the Zebra setup app. Wireless models add dual-radio Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.3, or Wi-Fi 5 with Bluetooth 4.2.
Which programming languages does it support?
ZPL II, EPL 2, XML, ZBI and PDF Direct. The Zebra DNA Printer Emulations app adds languages from other printer brands.
What ribbons does it take?
Standard 300 m (984 ft) ribbons on 1 in cores, or 74 m (243 ft) ribbons on 0.5 in cores, 1.33 to 4.3 in wide. Wax, wax-resin and resin ribbons are available for different label materials.
What warranty does it have?
Zebra warrants ZD600 Series printers for 2 years from shipment. Zebra OneCare plans extend coverage.
What print resolutions does the Zebra ZD621t come in?
The Zebra ZD621t comes in 203 dpi and 300 dpi. This page lists the 300 dpi models. See Zebra ZD621t — 203 dpi Models.
Should I choose 203 dpi or 300 dpi?
203 dpi (8 dots/mm) is the standard for shipping labels, barcodes and most product labels. 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) prints sharper small text, small barcodes, 2D codes and logos, so it suits small labels such as electronics, healthcare and jewelry labels. 600 dpi (24 dots/mm) is for very small, high-detail labels.
