Zebra ZT231 – a label printer that keeps up with your day

The Zebra ZT231 is a thermal transfer label printer built to handle the kind of daily workload that would wear out a lighter machine. Whether you're running a retail shop, managing a stockroom, or tracking jobs in a workshop, the ZT231 prints sharp, reliable labels without slowing you down. At 300 dpi (12 dots/mm), barcodes and small text come out clean every time — no squinting, no rescans at the counter.

Change settings from the machine, not from your desk

The colour touchscreen lets you check printer status and adjust settings directly on the device. In practice, that means when a label run needs to change mid-shift — different quantity, different format — whoever is nearest the printer can sort it on the spot. No trip to the back office, no waiting for someone who knows the software.

Connects the way your setup already works

The ZT231 fits into your existing network without rewiring:

• ·USB and USB Host – direct connection to a PC or USB stick
• ·RS232 – serial port for older POS or stock systems that need it
• ·Ethernet – wired connection to your office or warehouse network
• ·Wi-Fi 802.11ac – wireless, no cabling required
• ·Bluetooth BLE – pairs with mobile devices and handheld terminals

Support for EPL, ZPL, and ZPLII means the ZT231 works with most warehouse management and point-of-sale systems straight out of the box.
