Why standard shops struggle with Zebra

Zebra ZT411 and GK420d use advanced technology, which includes a thermal print head and a stepper motor. The thermal print head allows for high quality printing while the stepper motor ensures precise paper feeding. The printers also feature a ribbon sensor for fault detection.

Common Zebra Faults We Repair

  • Print head overheating causing shutdown: This can occur due to overuse or a faulty thermal print head.
  • Ribbon sensor not detecting (error 1000): If the ribbon sensor fails to detect, it may display an error 1000. This fault can be due to a malfunctioning ribbon sensor.

Typical Local Shop

  • Limited to basic parts
  • Often "No Fix, Charge Applied"
  • 30-day warranty (average)
  • Might outsource complex jobs
