Zebra, our commercial partner, Il nostro partner commerciale zebra has informed us that the recall of Zebra power units (Power Supply Unit, PSU) started in December 2016 has been extended.
The recall period has been extended to include the PSU produced by FSP Group between October 1st 2006 and December 31th 2012.
These PSUs have been sold as a kit for after-sales or included in the sale of Zebra printers that may or may not have been included in the original recall notification.
This is a complete list of associated printer models:
 
GC420D/T
Serie G (GK420D/T, GX420D/T, GX430D/T)
GK888D/T
Serie GT (GT800, GT810, GT820, GT830)

Serie P1XX (P100, P110, P120)

After independent testing, it was confirmed that the problem is limited to a fair batch of PSUs and that it is NOT associated with current Zebra-produced printers or the AC power cord.
 


HOW TO IDENTIFY THE INTERESTED APPLIANCES AND ASK FOR REPLACEMENT:

1. COLLECT THE SERIAL NUMBER OF YOUR PRINTER(S)

Determine if your Zebra printer belongs to one of the following models:
 
GC420D/TSerie G(GK420D/T, GX420D/T, GX430D/T)GK888D/TSerie GT (GT800, GT810, GT820, GT830)HC100Serie LP/TLP (2724, 2824, 2824Z, 2824 Plus, 2844, 2844Z, 3742, 3842, 3844Z)Serie P1XX (P100, P110, P120)R2844ZZXP3
 
Find and record the printer's serial number (located on the label glued to the bottom of the printer).
 
Previously checked inventory should be re-checked against the expanded recall period and printer models.
 

2. COLLECT THE POWER SUPPLY DATA CODE(S)

For each of the printers you identified above, please disconnect the PSU from the printer and examine the “brick” to locate the date code, which is marked with “D/C” (see video on right).
 
Ensure you check all spare power supplies not currently attached to printers.
 
If the date code is in the ranges 0639XX through 1253XX (YYWWXX, where YY=year and WW=week), your PSU has been included in the voluntary PSU recall. If the date code on your PSU is not within this date range, your PSU is not included in the voluntary PSU recall, and you can continue to use it with the appropriate Zebra printer.
 
PSUs produced by Hitek are NOT intereted in this recall.
