Hi it's Camille with POSGuys.com. Today we're taking a look at Zebra's new desktop barcode printer,
the GC420t. This has thermal transfer and direct thermal capabilities. It is a direct replacement
of the TLP2844 line which is exceptionally popular. They have almost the exact same functionality
and the exact same specifications but the new Zebra GC420 can handle more printer languages
and also has a slightly larger memory.
As you can see if you have a 2844 it has the exact same layout on the inside. Your ribbon
up top here loads in the exact same way.
It has the same tightening mechanisms on the top to adjust it.
Down below it has the same label guide. It tightens the same way right here.
It's just exactly the same. Looks the same, feels the same.
It even closes the same where you have that green pushes in, shuts, clamshell design.
When you take a look at the back of the printer
it has USB
which you can see right there.
Parallel... and your DB9 serial interface
so, the same as the 2844.
We're going to do a demonstration of label printing. So you can see the label on the
screen here.
For settings we're going to have it be at it's darkest and printing at it's fastest.
So speed 4 inches per second and darkness 15 and also printing thermal transfer.
Then we'll start.
They come out pretty quick and pretty clear. We've done some very large print orders with
this printer before.
So the GC420 is a geat replacement for the 2844 models. You can use the same media,
so your same labels, your same ribbons, you could even use the same interface cables if
you already have a DB9 interface cable. Your staff if they already know how to use this
printer will be able to use the new GC420 so it's a very smooth and efffortless upgrade
to make.
It comes with Zebra's one year warranty. It's available in direct thermal and thermal transfer
and comes in at about the same price as the 2844, which is
it starts around $380.
