Demands are rising and timelines are shrinking. Do you have the printing capabilities to keep up – without interruption? The ZT231 delivers the winning combination of the right features at the right price, along with the long-lasting quality you expect from Zebra. Fast print speeds, high-resolution print quality, large colour touchscreen, future-forward design and more – all in one space-saving footprint. Plus, add optional capabilities like RFID*, wireless connectivity and media handling features when you need them.

But that’s not all. Get built-in intelligence to make your work easier, and unmatched security so nothing stands in your way. That’s how Zebra defines value.

Take advantage of Zebra’s robust, ever growing Print DNA software suite for added capabilities. Easily configure, troubleshoot and manage your printers onsite or remotely via a web-based dashboard. Compare your printer security settings against best practices and adjust to match your preferences, while protecting your data from vulnerabilities.

The benefits of buying a ZT231 don’t end at the point of purchase. Expand your printer’s capabilities with field-installable upgrades when you need them. Add options such as a cutter or peeler, wireless connectivity or even UHF RFID* encoding.

Reduce training time with the ZT231’s easy-to-use 4.3” full-color touchscreen. See status at a glance, access wizards and helpful how-to videos and make changes with the touch of a finger or gloved hand. Seamlessly integrate the ZT231 into your existing network as it is backwards compatible and features Printer Emulations to replace other brands without having to change label formats or rewrite code.

With a durable metal frame, the ZT231 is ideal for light industrial environments. Print crisp text and barcodes with optional 300 dpi resolution. Advance your label throughput with industry-leading print speeds up to 12 ips at 203 dpi. Be confident knowing you’re backed by Zebra, the #1 leader in barcode printing.

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.

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.
