What is the ZT231 Industrial Printer?
Answer: The ZT231 is positioned as the new benchmark for value- tier industrial printers, and offers the widest range of both standard and optional features. With a durable metal frame, the ZT231 is ideal for light industrial environments.
What products does the ZT231 replace?
Answer: The ZT231 replaces the ZT230.
Is the ZT231 backwards compatible to the ZT230?
Answer: The ZT231 is fully backwards compatible with the ZT230
Are my existing label designs for the ZT230 printers going to be compatible with the ZT231?
Answer: Yes, ZT231 printers have been tested to ensure backwards compatibility with previous label formats and settings.
Do the new printers support the same accessory kits for media handling (peeler/cutter/liner takeup) and network connectivity (LAN, WLAN, BT) as the previous models?
Answer: While ZT231 printers offer the same accessory options of previous models, accessory kits are not interchangeable across old and new models. ZT231 are launching with a full array of media handling, print resolution, and communication accessories.
Can the ZT231 use the same labels and ribbons as the ZT230?
Answer: Yes, the ZT231 will work with the same media and ribbon combinations.
Does the ZT231 support RFID?
Answer: Yes, RFID is supported. The printer supports encoding tags compatible with UHF EPC Gen 2 V2.1, ISO/IEC 18000-63 and RAIN RFID protocols.
Can the non-RFID ZT231 be upgraded to the RFID versions?
Answer: Yes, the ZT231 can be upgraded to RFID version in the field. For optimal performance with RFID labels shorter than 38 mm (1.5 in.), the printer should be equipped with a printhead with part number ending with -12 or higher.
Does the printer support USB Host?
Answer: Yes, the printer includes one standard USB Host port on the back of the printer, which opens a number of new capabilities
utilizing the printer, not an additional client, to locally manage files, input data and configure the printer.
• USB mirror is ideal for local, fast replication of firmware, files and configurations for ease of setup and maintenance.
• Print Station supports local data input and form-filling without a client via USB connected scanners and keyboards.
• Print USB file is used to print formats, download firmware and execute files from a USB flash drive (memory stick).
• USB file transfer provides the transfer and storage of files between the printer memory and the USB flash drive.
Is a parallel port option available on these new ZT200 models?
Answer: Parallel port support has been removed from the ZT200-series of printers. If parallel connectivity is required, ZT411 printers may be a good option, please us for more information.
Ethernet seems to be standard and optional for the ZT231?
Answer: Ethernet is standard on the ZT231. An external Ethernet card can also be installed in the communication slot on the
printer. The external Ethernet card stores the MAC address in the memory on the card. This card can be easily removed
from a printer and re-installed in a different printer which can be a benefit if a printer must be temporarily replaced while
undergoing maintenance or repair. This makes it easier to swap out printers without the need to add the new printer as
another, new network device. The printers do not support two simultaneous Ethernet connections, only one Ethernet
connection can be active in the printer.
What is the maximum media size?
Answer: The ZT231 can support media widths (liner and label) from
19.4mm (0.75 in.) to 114mm (4.5 in.) and ribbon width from
51mm (2 in.) to 110mm (4.33 in.)
