Zebra ZT231 – Label printing that keeps up when things get busy

The Zebra ZT231 is a midrange thermal transfer label printer built for daily, high-volume use in warehouses, retail stockrooms, and workshops. Labels print clearly and quickly even when orders are coming in fast — shipments don't wait, and neither do your customers.

Speed and clarity for real working conditions

With a print resolution of 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) and a maximum speed of 305 mm/s, labels are ready before the next parcel is taped up. Print width reaches 104 mm, and the media roll can be up to 203 mm in diameter — larger rolls mean fewer interruptions to reload mid-shift.

LCD display: status at a glance

The built-in LCD display shows printer status, job progress, and error messages directly on the unit. You don't need to open a laptop or a separate app to see what's happening — one look at the display tells you everything.

Connectivity that fits your existing setup

The ZT231 covers the full range of connection options, so it slots into almost any environment without rewiring or extra adapters:

• ·USB and USB Host — connect to a PC or directly to a USB peripheral
• ·RS232 — works with older systems and legacy equipment
• ·Ethernet — stable wired network connection for fixed workstations
• ·Wi-Fi (802.11ac) — wireless flexibility where cables aren't practical
• ·Bluetooth BLE — quick pairing with mobile devices

The printer supports EPL, ZPL, and ZPLII, so it works with most warehouse management and point-of-sale systems straight out of the box — no additional software needed.

Memory that holds its settings overnight

256 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash mean your saved label templates and fonts stay in place even after the printer is switched off. The first print of the morning runs just as smoothly as the last one the evening before.

Warranty and origin

Comes with a power supply unit and power cable (EU and UK plugs included). Manufacturer's warranty: 24 months. Made in China.
