Remarkable value, quality printing, simple operation

When your budget requires a basic printer, that usually means compromising on quality, functionality and performance - value printers typically use less expensive components and offer fewer features. The result is a printer with a shorter lifecycle that falls short of your performance expectations, requiring repairs and replacement more frequently, ultimately costing you more instead of less. Meet the value printers that are different - the Zebra ZD230TA thermal transfer printer and ZD230DA direct thermal printer. With these 4-inch thermal printers, there's no compromise. You get a printer built to last for years, with same quality that has made Zebra an industry leader. Easy to install and operate, this USB printer is up and running in an instant - just plug it into any USB port, plug in the power cord and you're ready to print. You get highly legible print quality for every single label - whether you choose 203 dpi or the new 300 dpi option. And regardless of how many shifts you operate, you get reliable performance, every minute of every shift.

Designed for Simplicity | Start Printing in Minutes

This USB label printer is simple to install - you can start printing nearly instantly, right out of the box. And since this printer supports ZPL, EPL and non-Zebra command languages, you can easily replace the printer you're using today.

Media is Easy to Manage

The transparent media window lets workers instantly see how much media is left and when to change the roll to prevent workflow disruptions. The OpenACCESS™ clamshell design makes it easy to access and replace media.

And if you print a high volume of labels, a 300 m ribbon roll means fewer changes and improved worker productivity.

Easy Everyday Operation

The ZD230TA and ZD230DA are so intuitive that practically no training is required. With a single button for feed and pause, this printer couldn't be easier to operate. A single green/yellow/red LED makes it easy to see printer status at a glance. And whether you need to open the printer, feed labels or change the ribbon, color-coded touch points make it simple.

Automatically Resumes Operation After a Power Outage

With this new time-saving feature, there's no need to physically turn on your printers after a power interruption - ideal for printers that may be difficult to reach or locked in a cabinet for security. And the power switch is located near the back of the printer to prevent workers from accidentally turning the printer off.

The Right Options | Fast Printing with Your Choice of Resolution

With a print speed of 6 inches per second, this 4-inch barcode printer keeps pace with your business and your workflows - your workers won't be waiting for labels to print. And with a choice of 203 dpi or 300 dpi, you get a very versatile printer that provides the resolution you need on the types of items you print - from prescription, specimen, IV bag and food information labels to patient ID wristbands and packing slips, asset and inventory labels and more.

More Flexibility with a Moveable Sensor
