What does TAA compliant mean?
This model meets the Trade Agreements Act, which US federal agencies require for most purchases: it is made or substantially transformed in the US or a designated country.
What warranty does it have?
Zebra warrants the ZT411 On-Metal RFID against defects in workmanship and materials for 1 year from shipment. Zebra OneCare plans extend coverage and can add printheads, normal wear and accidental breakage.
What print resolutions does the Zebra ZT411 On-Metal RFID come in?
The Zebra ZT411 On-Metal RFID comes in 203 dpi and 300 dpi. This page lists the 300 dpi models. See Zebra ZT411 On-Metal RFID — 203 dpi TAA 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.
