Ease of Use

Reduce training time with the ZT231 printer and its easy-to-use 4.3″ colour touchscreen. Check device status at a glance, access wizards and helpful how-to video guides, and make changes with a single touch — even while wearing gloves.

Flexibility

Optional capabilities such as RFID, wireless connectivity, and advanced media handling options can be added as needed. You get built-in intelligence that simplifies everyday operation, as well as advanced security.

Thanks to its durable metal frame, the ZT231 is ideal for light industrial environments. Print sharp text and barcodes with optional 300 dpi resolution. Increase productivity and label throughput with industry-leading print speeds of up to 12 ips — inches per second — at 203 dpi resolution.

Easy Integration

The benefits of purchasing the ZT231 printer do not end at the time of acquisition. When needed, you can easily expand the printer’s capabilities with field-installable upgrades. Add options such as a cutter or label peeler, wireless connectivity, and even UHF RFID encoding.

The ZT231 integrates easily into your existing network because it is backward compatible and includes printer emulations, enabling replacement of devices from other manufacturers without changing label formats or rewriting existing code.
