Direct heat-based printers use heat instead of ink and are sometimes smaller, quieter, faster, and more energy-efficient than dot-matrix printers. The GK420d has a maximum print speed of 5″ per second at 203 dpi (dots per inch) and prints labels up to 39″ long. The 32-bit processor combined with the 8 MB of SDRAM memory and 4 MB of flash memory offers fast first label printing with extensive media graphics. The Ethernet port enables the printer to be hooked up to a wired PC network (Ethernet twine sold separately). A USB port and an included USB cable provide connectivity to a computer or another device. EPL and ZPL programming languages are standard.

The GK420d printer’s double-walled surrounding is made from ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which helps resist impact. An open-access design helps media loading. A reflective sensor allows the printer to identify the openings, holes, notches, or black marks between labels to print the labels accurately. A transmissive sensor enables it to spot when a roll of media has run out. The auto-detectable power adapter can accept AC power between 100 and 240 volts. This printer is suitable for use with black bar, black mark, continuing, continual bill, die-cut, fanfold, opening, nicked, punctured, bill, roll-fed, tag, or tag stock media (all sold separately). The maximum outside diameter for rolls is 5″.
