Zebra ZT111 Label Printer (ZT11142-T0E000FZ)

The Zebra ZT111 is Zebra's entry-level 4-inch industrial label printer – the next step for businesses that have outgrown a desktop printer but want to keep costs down. A metal frame, bi-fold media door, simple three-button interface with five status icons and colour-coded media loading make it easy to use. As a thermal transfer model it uses ribbons up to 450 m long for durable, smudge-proof labels on paper and synthetic materials – and it also prints on direct thermal labels without a ribbon. It prints 203 dpi labels up to 104 mm wide at up to 254 mm/s, takes label rolls up to 203 mm in diameter on 76 mm cores and connects via USB, RS-232 serial, Ethernet, USB Host and Bluetooth LE as standard. This version, ZT11142-T0E000FZ, comes with the standard tear-off bar.

Key Features

• Industrial quality on a budget – metal frame with plastic enclosure, a compact footprint and a bi-fold media door that needs little headroom to open.
• Easy to operate – a three-button keypad and five status icons show at a glance what the printer needs; set-up is quick with Zebra Setup Utilities or the Bluetooth LE app.
• Thermal transfer with 450 m ribbons – up to 254 mm/s at 203 dpi; long ribbons (25.4 mm core, ink side out) mean fewer changes, and direct thermal labels work too.
• Large media capacity – label rolls up to 203 mm in diameter on 76 mm cores (152 mm on 25 mm cores) or fanfold media through the rear slot, 19.4–114 mm wide, with movable gap and black-mark sensors.
• Connected as standard – USB 2.0, RS-232 serial, 10/100 Ethernet, USB Host and Bluetooth LE, plus a Print Touch (NFC) tag for tap-to-pair; a Wi-Fi card can be added later.
• Fits into your existing fleet – ZPL and ZPL II (EPL on 203 dpi models), Print DNA printer emulations for other brands and compatibility with existing Zebra label formats.
• Secure by design – Secure Boot, Protected Mode, simplified printer decommissioning and Print DNA Basic tools; onboard analytics and tool-less printhead and platen replacement.
• Upgrade when you need it – field-installable peeler, cutter, Wi-Fi card and second Ethernet port; ZKDU keyboard display for stand-alone printing.
