Product Features
Technical Overview
The ZT230 employs direct thermal printing technology, eliminating the need for ribbons or toner by applying heat directly to thermally sensitive label media. This results in a streamlined maintenance profile and consistent monochrome output. The printer's maximum print width of 4.09" and resolution of 300 dpi ensure precise rendering of fine text, graphics, and barcodes, including high-density linear and 2D symbologies such as Data Matrix, QR Code, PDF-417, and Code 128.
Connectivity is handled through Fast Ethernet for network integration, USB for direct computer connections, and a serial port for legacy system compatibility. The printer's 128 MB of RAM and 128 MB of flash memory provide ample storage for fonts, graphics, and label formats, supporting the ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) emulation for flexible label design. Media handling is enhanced with transmissive and reflective sensors, accommodating media thickness up to 10 mil and maximum roll diameters of 8". The bi-color LED and clear bi-fold media side door facilitate operational monitoring and media loading.
