Zebra ZT231 Industrial Barcode Printer

The affordable ZT231 is ready to meet your 4-inch industrial thermal transfer and direct thermal printing applications. With an intuitive interface and large colour touchscreen, it’s easy to use and shows status at a glance. Add media handing and connectivity options onsite, and even RFID printing and encoding to meet growing compliance standards.

Get More Done with Greater Visibility
The ZT231 includes an all-new architecture to process more jobs at once and evolve with emerging technologies. Onboard analytics and printhead element out detection help you plan maintenance in advance. And, the easy tool-less platen and print head removal makes maintenance easy.

Small Footprint, Big Access
To help you make the most of your workspace, we’ve engineered the ZT231 with a space-saving, compact design and bi-fold door that reduces the height needed to open your printer. Take the trouble out of media loading with an intuitive design and color-coded cues. Adjustable sensors offer greater media flexibility and the large ribbon roll capacity lets you change media less frequently.

Connect Your Way
Take advantage of a variety of standard connectivity options including USB, Serial, Ethernet and USB Host. Tap to pair and print with compatible mobile devices with the Print Touch tag (NFC). Add a second Ethernet port, 802.11ac or an Applicator port.

Get RFID Without Complication
Incorporate UHF RFID printing and encoding* for greater visibility and tracking. Get greater media flexibility and simple RFID calibration with Zebra’s adaptive encoding technology that eliminates complex placement guidelines.
