Key Advantages

The Zebra ZT231 offers durable construction that withstands harsh environments and continuous use. Its high-speed printing capability enables efficient handling of large-volume printing tasks. The printer's compatibility with various media types and widths provides great flexibility in application. Advanced connectivity options allow seamless integration in networked and standalone setups. Easy-to-navigate control panel and software utilities simplify operation and maintenance. Moreover, the availability of genuine Zebra parts and accessories ensures long-term reliability and performance.

Limitations

The ZT231 lacks some of the higher resolution options found in more recent industrial printers, limiting ultra-fine print detail. Its maximum print speed and media width may not suit very large label production needs. The interface, while comprehensive, does not include wireless connectivity, which may be restrictive in some modern office environments. Firmware updates require manual downloading and installation, reducing convenience. The printer models in this series have limited compatibility with newer media formulations compared to the latest printers. Replacement parts might have become less readily available since newer models have been introduced.
