Description

Description

The Zebra ZD230t (ZD23042-30EC00EZ) is a 4-inch thermal transfer desktop label printer for durable product, asset, warehouse and manufacturing labels. It prints at 203 dpi across a print width of up to 104 mm at up to 152 mm/s, takes label rolls up to 127 mm in diameter and connects via USB and Ethernet. Its dual-capacity ribbon holder takes both compact 74 m and economical 300 m ribbons.

Which ZD230 is right for you? The ZD230d (direct thermal) needs no ribbon – ideal for shipping labels and receipts; the ZD230t (thermal transfer) prints durable labels and takes 74 m or 300 m ribbons. Choose USB, USB + Ethernet or USB + Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and decide up front whether you need a peeler or a cutter – both are factory-installed.
