What are the main connectivity options available on the Zebra ZD421?
The Zebra ZD421 comes standard with USB and USB Host connectivity, and offers optional field-upgradeable Ethernet, Serial, and dual wireless radio with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1. This flexibility allows you to integrate the printer into your existing wired and wireless networks or connect it directly to any PC, and you can print from Windows, Android, or iOS devices. We offer the ZD421 with all these connectivity options to match your warehouse or logistics environment.
What operating system does the Honeywell CK65 run and is it upgradeable?
The Honeywell CK65 ships with Android 8.0 Oreo and is system compatible up to Android R, providing long-term investment protection and future-proofing for your warehouse operations. This upgrade path means your device will remain current with security updates and new features without requiring hardware replacement. We offer the CK65 to help you extend the lifecycle of your mobile computing infrastructure.
Is the Zebra ZD421 backward compatible with my existing printer setup?
Yes, the ZD421 is backward compatible with virtually any existing printer in your fleet. It supports both EPL and ZPL printer languages and can emulate languages normally associated with other printer brands using Zebra's Print DNA tool, Virtual Devices. You can deploy the ZD421 into your existing infrastructure and use the same label formats and applications you're using today without requiring workflow changes.
How durable is the CK65 and what environments can it handle?
The CK65 is rated to IP64/IP65/IP68 standards and can withstand multiple 3-meter (10-foot) drops to concrete, making it one of the most rugged mobile computers available for demanding warehouse environments. Honeywell also offers cold storage models for freezer environments and non-incendive (NI)/ATEX models for areas with hazardous gases. Contact us today to discuss which configuration best fits your facility's requirements.
What makes the Zebra ZD421 more powerful than previous models?
The ZD421 features an innovative architecture that is 30% more powerful than the ZD420 Series and 700% more powerful than the legacy GK Series. This advanced processing power allows you to run more tasks, perform more operations simultaneously, and maintain security while being ready for future applications and evolving business needs. The increased performance ensures your printer investment will support growing warehouse and logistics demands for years to come.
What scanning capabilities does the CK65 offer?
The CK65 features Honeywell's advanced FlexRange FR imager with dual-lens architecture that simultaneously captures near, mid, and far-range barcodes without moving parts, enabling fast 1D/2D scanning across all picking workflows. The FlexRange FR eliminates re-focusing delays, so the imager operates at maximum speed whether you're scanning items at hand level or on high racks. Available from us with enhanced durability for high-volume scanning operations.
What are the key differences between the Zebra ZD421 and the GK Series?
The ZD421 builds on the legacy of Zebra's GK Series while offering significantly more capabilities and security measures. It includes a more intuitive three-button user interface with five LED icons for at-a-glance status, a groundbreaking ribbon cartridge for instant ribbon changes, movable media sensors for greater compatibility, and the Print DNA software suite for enhanced security and management. The ZD421 is designed as a direct replacement for the GK Series, delivering advanced features for a new era of intelligence and forward flexibility.
How long does the battery last and what's the processor performance?
The CK65 delivers over 18 hours of battery life on a single charge, enabling workers to remain productive through multiple shifts without mid-shift battery changes. It's powered by a 2.2 GHz Qualcomm 64-bit Snapdragon octa-core processor paired with 4GB DDR4 RAM and 32GB Flash storage, providing fast application performance for both legacy key-based and modern touch-based applications.
