Key Advantages

The Zebra ZP230d offers excellent print quality for its class with 203 dpi resolution, making it suitable for standard barcode and label printing. Its compact size fits neatly on desktops, conserving workspace. The use of direct thermal technology eliminates the need for ink or toner, reducing maintenance costs and complexity. It offers reliable performance for light to moderate print volumes common in retail or office settings. The USB connectivity ensures straightforward installation and connectivity with most modern computers. Additionally, its media handling capacity allows the use of a variety of label types and sizes to fit diverse labeling requirements.

Limitations

One limitation of the Zebra ZP230d is its exclusive use of direct thermal printing technology, which may not be suitable for applications requiring long-lasting labels as thermal labels fade over time when exposed to heat or sunlight. It lacks support for network printing without additional accessories, limiting convenient multi-user environments. The printer's resolution is fixed at 203 dpi, making it less appropriate for high-resolution or detailed graphics printing. It does not support color printing, restricting usage to monochrome labels only. Its design caters primarily to low to mid-volume printing, which may not accommodate high-demand industrial environments. Furthermore, the limited connectivity options could require additional hardware for integration into complex printing networks.
