ZD230 4-inch Value Desktop Printer

Get more: Extra features, quality construction, exceptional value

Not all printers are created equally, especially basic models. To reduce costs, value printers are often constructed using less
expensive components and fewer features. Many fail to perform under more demanding duty cycles, create delays and downtime
for repairs, and require replacement after only a few years of use. Instead of conserving budget, customers are left with greater
expense and hassle. Zebra does it differently. Meet the exception. The ZD230 desktop printer gives you extra features and reliable
operation at an affordable price—both at the point of purchase and across the entire lifecycle. Engineered with Zebra quality, it
boasts a dual-wall construction. And, it offers wireless connectivity for networked, remote printing. Built to last for years, the ZD230
provides an outstanding return on your investment.

Just the Features You Need

This 4-inch printer produces labels quickly, up to 6” per
second, to keep your workflows moving. Increased memory
allows you to store more fonts and graphics. A single LED
indicator and single button for feed/pause make it easy to
operate and identify printer status. Choose from direct
thermal or thermal transfer models, and add an optional
factory-installed peeler or cutter. The ZD230 features Print
DNAᵀᴹ Basic, a core set of software applications and
capabilities to deliver a cost-effective and dependable print
experience. It is ideal for use in transportation and logistics,
light manufacturing, retail and healthcare applications to print
a variety of tickets, tags, passes, labels and receipts.
