A better-quality solution to print permanent-use documents

Is the TD-4420TN good for 4x6 shipping labels?

Yes. It's a 4-inch, 203 dpi desktop printer with a 4.25 in maximum print width, so 4x6 labels fit, and labels formatted for 203 dpi print at their intended size. It prints direct thermal (no ribbon) or thermal transfer, and emulates ZPL II, EPL2 and DPL, so many shipping platforms that print to Zebra-language printers can drive it.

Can it replace my Zebra printer without changing my label formats?

Often, but test first. It understands ZPL II, EPL2 and DPL (Brother calls this FBPL-EZD), but Brother supports a listed subset of ZPL II commands, not every one. Before using ZPL you set the paper size and calibrate with Brother's Printer Management Tool, which runs on Windows only. Print your existing label formats before switching over fully.

Can I use direct thermal labels without a ribbon?

Yes. It prints both thermal transfer (with a ribbon) and direct thermal (no ribbon). To print direct thermal, leave the ribbon out and set the print method to Direct Thermal in the driver's Printing Preferences (Stock tab) or in Brother's Printer Management Tool.

Will Zebra ribbons work in it?

Many will, if they match its specs: ink-side-out, on a 0.5 in or 1 in core, 1.57–4.33 in wide, and no longer than 984 ft (300 m) on a 1 in core or 360 ft (110 m) on a 0.5 in core. The ribbon must be wider than your labels. Check these specs rather than the brand name.

Does it work with a Mac?

Yes, with limits. Brother provides a Mac driver and you can connect over USB or the network. Brother's Printer Management Tool and the included BarTender label software are Windows-only, so you'll need a Windows PC for some settings, such as ZPL setup.

Can I share it over our office network?

Yes. It has built-in wired Ethernet (10/100) and gets an IP address automatically when plugged into your router. On Windows, install Brother's driver and choose the network option; on a Mac, add the printer by its IP address. It also has USB, RS-232C serial and USB host ports. Wi-Fi isn't built in.

What software can I use to design labels?

Brother includes Seagull BarTender UltraLite, a free label design program for Windows. Because it installs a standard Windows driver, you can also print from other Windows programs and from shipping platforms that print to a system printer. Developers can send ZPL, EPL2 or DPL commands directly.

What label rolls fit inside?

It takes rolls up to 5 in outer diameter on a 1 in or 1.5 in core, labels from about 0.79 in to 4.41 in wide, and fanfold labels.
