Simple operation with smart features

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.

Make it easy for your IT team

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 smart choice now and later

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.

Get more done with greater visibility

The ZT231 includes an adbanced 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, Zebra has 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.
