## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this printer print receipts? Also, is it compatible with scrap software for a scrap metal yard?**
A: The ZEBRA GK420d Direct Thermal Desktop Printer can print receipts and has a optional cutter that can be used to cut the paper between prints. You will need to use the Zebra designer software for this printer to work.

**Q: Can you use any brand labels or do they need to be Zebra brand?**
A: Any brand label is ok as long as it is compatible with this printer.

**Q: Could I use this printer with regular roll paper if the dimensions are the same? Labels are relatively expensive.**
A: Don't believe you can.  When I was looking for "Direct Thermal" labels, I had to find that specifically.  Just know that this printer doesn't have a ink cartridge.  It burns the information onto the label.  It's really fast too.  If you try the labelvalue.com, they are pretty cheap.  The guy I replaced at this position used this printer for about 6 years and it was still functioning well.  That's why I chose it.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

**Q: does this printer have serial port?**
A: The Zebra - GK420d connects via USB, serial, or parallel port.
