Description

Description

The Zebra ZT231 is a compact 4-inch industrial label printer for manufacturing, warehousing, transport and logistics, healthcare and retail – the successor to the popular ZT230. Its metal frame and enclosure, bi-fold media door and large 4.3-inch colour touchscreen make it ideal for light-industrial 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 sharp 203 dpi labels up to 104 mm wide at up to 305 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, ZT23142-T0EC00FZ, comes with the standard tear-off bar and a factory-installed Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth 4.2 card for wireless network printing.

Key Features

Built for light-industrial use – metal frame and metal enclosure, a bi-fold media door that needs little headroom and a side-loading media path with colour-coded touch points.

Thermal transfer with 450 m ribbons – up to 305 mm/s at 203 dpi; long ribbons (25.4 mm core, ink side out) mean fewer changes, and direct thermal labels work too.

Which ZT231 should you choose? Direct thermal models need no ribbon and suit shipping and warehouse labels; thermal transfer models with 450 m ribbons produce durable labels on paper and synthetics. 203 dpi is ideal for barcodes and shipping labels at up to 305 mm/s, 300 dpi for small text and fine 2D codes. Then pick tear-off, peeler, peeler with liner take-up or cutter for your workflow – and Wi-Fi or UHF RFID if you need it.
