Overview

The Zebra 90XiII is a highly durable industrial barcode label printer designed for continuous, high-volume printing in harsh environments. It supports direct thermal and thermal transfer printing technologies, using replaceable printheads that enable precise high-resolution output up to 203 dpi. Engineered with a robust metal frame and high-speed processor, the printer is capable of delivering consistent print quality at speeds up to 6 inches per second. Connectivity options include parallel, serial, and USB interfaces, facilitating integration into a variety of industrial systems. The 90XiII supports a wide range of media types and sizes, with adjustable guides and sensors for flexible label handling.

The printer utilizes an intelligent Zebra programming language (ZPL) which enhances its compatibility across systems and simplifies label formatting. Heat and steam resistance along with rugged construction make the 90XiII suitable for manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain applications. Additionally, its modular design allows for easy maintenance and replacement of key components, minimizing downtime during operation.
