Key Advantages

The Zebra ZT230 offers reliable performance for medium-duty printing tasks in industrial environments. Its durable metal construction extends device life and resistance to harsh conditions. Multiple connectivity options provide versatility for various IT setups. Easy media and ribbon loading enhance user convenience, minimizing printer downtime. Its compatibility with ZPL and EPL languages enables smooth integration with existing Zebra printer infrastructure. The inclusion of an LCD display facilitates straightforward operation and monitoring.

Limitations

The ZT230 offers a maximum resolution of 203 dpi which might not meet the needs for very high-resolution label printing. It does not support wireless connectivity, potentially limiting flexibility in certain modern setups. The print speed, while adequate for medium-duty, is slower compared to some high-end industrial printers. It lacks advanced touch-screen controls that newer models provide, impacting user experience. The print width is capped at approximately 4.09 inches, restricting use for larger label sizes. It does not come with built-in RFID capabilities, which some industrial users may require.
