The ZD621R adds 4-inch UHF RAIN RFID printing and encoding, featuring Zebra's RE40 RFID module with adaptive encoding technology. A full-colour touchscreen comes standard on the RFID model. The ZD621R is optimized for efficient encoding of labels, tags, and wristbands for retail inventory, healthcare patient ID, and asset tracking applications.
Field-installable options include peeler, cutter, battery with carrying case, and wireless connectivity modules, extending the ZD621's useful life and adaptability as your operations evolve.
