About
Zebra ZT231 — midrange label printing built for daily use
The Zebra ZT231 is a thermal transfer label printer designed for environments where labels go out in volume, every day. At 300 dpi (12 dots/mm), barcodes stay sharp and text stays readable even at small sizes — whether you're printing product labels, shelf price tags, shipping addresses, or asset stickers.
Peel and go — no fiddling with backing paper
The built-in peeler separates the label from its liner automatically after each print. Labels are ready to apply the moment they come out. The liner take-up spindle collects the backing paper in a tidy roll instead of letting it pile up on the floor — a small thing that matters when the printer runs all afternoon.
Colour touchscreen keeps things moving without a computer nearby
The colour touchscreen shows printer status, lets you adjust settings, and clears error states without needing a keyboard or a laptop within reach. If more than one person operates the printer, or if it lives in a corner of the stockroom rather than next to a desk, this makes a real difference — whoever needs to use it can sort it out themselves.
Connects to whatever you already have
The ZT231 covers most connection scenarios you're likely to run into:
- USB and USB Host — direct link to a PC or print from a USB stick
- RS232 — serial connection for older till systems
- Bluetooth BLE — wireless link to a tablet or mobile device
- Ethernet — wired network for a warehouse or production line setup
You're not locked into one way of working. The printer fits into your current setup rather than requiring you to change it.
