Cut tags and labels automatically on a Zebra ZT420 or ZT421
Guillotine cutterCatch tray includedZT420 / ZT421Field-installable
The Zebra Cutter Option for the ZT420 and ZT421 is a genuine front-mount guillotine cutter with catch tray that lets 6-inch ZT400 Series industrial printers separate each printed tag or label automatically, for operations that print tag stock, shelf tags or single labels on demand.
Zebra describes it as an external cutter with catch tray for media such as tag stock, to ensure a clean edge between labels. It fits the front of the printer in place of the standard tear-off arrangement and is enabled in the printer menu as the Cutter print mode.
Before you order: For the 6-inch ZT420 and ZT421 only. The 4-inch ZT410 uses a different cutter kit (P1058930-189).
What's in the Box
- 1 x Zebra cutter option for ZT420 / ZT421 (kit P1058930-190)
- 1 x catch tray for cut media
What It Means in Practice
- With the cutter fitted, the printer cuts after every label or after a set number of labels, so operators no longer tear by hand and the tag edge is straight and clean.
- Tag stock and continuous media are the typical use: product tags, carton labels cut to length, or receipts-style output where every piece must be separate.
- The catch tray collects cut pieces at the front, so the printer can run unattended for a batch.
- Installation is a field procedure on the front of the printer. Send us your printer model and serial label and we will confirm the kit and the cutter guard version your printer needs.
What Will Not Work
- Do not accidentally order this for a ZT410 or ZT411: the 4-inch printers need cutter kit P1058930-189.
- Not for ZT220/ZT230, ZT600 Series, ZT510 or ZE500 print engines: each family has its own cutter option.
- The cutter does not peel labels from the liner. If you need labels presented without backing, you need the peel option instead.
- It does not include spare cutter covers or static brush and cutter guard parts: those are separate Zebra spare parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut every label, or only after a batch?
The printer can be set to cut after each label or after a set quantity, from the printer menu or the label format.
Is the cutter a wear part?
Yes. Zebra treats cutters as wear parts, and blade life depends on the media. Tag stock and clean label gaps are easiest on the blade.
Can I keep the cutter and the peel option on the same printer?
They both use the front of the printer, so plan one front option per printer. Tell us your workflow and we will suggest the right setup.
