Zebra KR403 DATASHEET

Zebra® KR400™ Series
Kiosk Receipt Printers

Building on Zebra® kiosk printers’ reputation for reliable performance
in tough printing environments, the KR403™ receipt printer offers
enhancements ranging from excellent print quality to expanded
memory, fonts and bar code sets—including the retail-industry-required
GS1 bar code.

The KR403 is easy to integrate into kiosk designs thanks to its compact
footprint, range of mounting configurations, and Zebra Programming
Language (ZPL®), which increases functionality and allows for a wide
variety of applications. And, it decreases total cost of ownership and
raises customer satisfaction with features that reduce upkeep and
downtime. The large 9.8"/250 mm media roll capacity, for example,
means fewer roll changes. Paper-low and other automatic remote alerts
enable proactive diagnostics and maintenance. And, to curtail paper
jams, count on the patented looping presenter with integrated cutter
and a retract function that retains left-behind printouts—protecting
kiosk user’s privacy and reducing litter.

The KR403 offers a variety of ways to connect—from serial and USB
interfaces to 10/100 Ethernet—for simple kiosk integration. Enabling
easy setup and configuration via Zebra advanced printer management
tools, the KR403 optional Ethernet connectivity offers optimal
integration for today’s network environment.
