Key Advantages

The ZT231 offers a balanced combination of performance and affordability for industrial printing. Its metal frame ensures durability against harsh working conditions and reduces downtime. Easy-to-use color LCD display enhances user interaction for quick configuration and monitoring. The printer provides versatile media handling capabilities for labels, tags, and receipts, supporting a wide range of applications. Link-OS compatibility enables streamlined device management and remote troubleshooting. Additionally, it supports multiple connectivity options to fit diverse network environments.

Limitations

While the ZT231 delivers solid functionality, its print resolution is fixed at 203 dpi, limiting suitability for applications requiring ultra-fine detail. The printing speed is moderate compared to higher-end models, possibly impacting throughput in high-volume scenarios. There is limited support for advanced wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, reducing mobility. The device's firmware updates require manual intervention rather than over-the-air updates. Its industrial size and weight may not be ideal for small office spaces. Furthermore, the average cost of original Zebra parts and consumables may be higher compared to some competitors.
