ZT200 Series Industrial Printers

Industrial printing that fits your budget

Zebra’s most affordable industrial printers, the ZT200™ Series, incorporate extensive customer feedback and the learnings from legacy printers—creating innovative printers with a space-saving design. Featuring Zebra’s Print DNA, the ZT200 Series provides users with effortless setup, intuitive operation and easy service and maintenance.

ZT200 Series Industrial Printers

Designed with You in Mind

You Spoke. We Listened.

The ZT200 Series’ design is the culmination of extensive feedback from our customers and understanding of their printing applications, evolving business needs and operational challenges. The ZT200 Series offers outstanding functionality and features at an exceptional value.

Engineered for Versatility and Outstanding Value

Intuitive and Powerful Operation

Whether you are adopting barcode technology for the first time or upgrading existing printer models, the ZT200 Series is the right choice for a variety of labeling applications. These innovative printers provide many user benefits, and they are ENERGY STAR® certified to save you money throughout their lifecycle.

Small Footprint. Easy to Maintain.

The ZT200 Series offers a streamlined design and smaller footprint that takes up less physical space than the legacy S4M™ printer. ZT200 Series printers require minimal operator training and benefit from tool-less standard component maintenance and a durable design to minimize service.

Simple to Integrate and Manage

Featuring Zebra’s Link-OS environment—an innovative operating system combining a powerful Multiplatform Software Development Kit (SDK) and software applications—ZT200 Series printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain from any location around the globe. Your IT staff will also appreciate the backwards compatibility, since it allows for new printers to be up and running with minimal time and effort.

Transformed from the Inside

The printer hardware is just the start of what you need to maximize the value of your printers. The ZT200 is powered by Link-OS, Zebra’s robust printer operating system, and Print DNA, a combination of productivity, management, development and visibility tools. The result transforms your printers from the inside for superior printing through better performance, simplified remote manageability and easier integration.

Meets a Variety of Application Needs

Durable and small in size, ZT200 Series printers are ideal for a variety of applications from manufacturing and transportation and logistics, to healthcare and retail. From item and specimen tagging to shelf-edge and packaging labeling, these printers can meet the demands of your operations.


ZT200 Series Offers Two Models to Best Suit Your Needs

The ZT230

With a rugged all-metal case for long-lasting use, the ZT230 offers a graphical LCD user interface for easy printer setup and control, and S4M replacement that easily integrates into your environment. It is ideal for barcode-labeling applications requiring more frequent format or printer setting changes.

The ZT220

Zebra’s most affordable industrial printer, the ZT220 has a durable high-impact polymer case for long-lasting use, and a simple single-use three-button user interface. It is ideal for barcode-labeling applications where minimal format or printer setting changes are required.

Space-Saving Design

With a compact footprint, streamlined design and unique bi-fold door (requires 4 in./102 mm of opening space), these printers easily fit into confined areas to maximize work space.

Fast Installation and Integration

As ideal replacement printers for previous generation Stripe and S4M models, they offer multiple connectivity options: Parallel, 10/100 Ethernet, and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless. The icon-based status LEDs provide immediate and easily visible printer status. And the Virtual Devices apps enable Link-OS printers to support well-known legacy and competitor printer languages—in addition to ZPL® and EPLTM¹—for a future-proofed investment.

Intuitive, Effortless Media Loading

The side-loading design eliminates complicated threading of supplies. The color-coded cues give even first-time users visual guidance for loading ribbon and media. And illuminated multi-position transmissive and reflective sensors are visible through the media for trouble-free sensor-position adjustment.

Print Quality, Reliability and Durability

These printers are engineered for greater print precision with fine-tuned adjustments. They provide crisp, clean text and barcodes—even on narrow media. Built for light industrial and commercial environments, they are ENERGY STAR® certified, with a drive system designed for optimal performance with minimal maintenance required.

Simplified Serviceability

Tool-less platen and printhead removal enables simple cleaning and replacement, with easy interchangeable connectivity options for rapid printer changes and upgrade. Only three common tools are needed for basic service.
