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 Link-OS® environment, the ZT200 Series provides users with effortless setup, intuitive operation and easy service and maintenance.
Increase printer uptime and reduce lost productivity and unbudgeted repair costs by selecting a Zebra® OneCare service agreement. A cost-effective means of planning and budgeting for your annual maintenance expenditures, your agreement ensures that trained Zebra technicians will bring your printer back to factory specifications. Zebra offers a variety of plans to fit your budget and business needs.
Ensure consistent print quality, reduce downtime and increase productivity in your printing process with genuine Zebra supplies. We manufacture each supplies product with the exact same materials every time so you always get crisp, readable and scannable output without needing to adjust the printer darkness setting between rolls.
To meet changing expectations and growing demands for devices that are mobile, intelligent and connected to the Cloud, Zebra created a software platform to support its devices: Zebra’s Link-OS environment. This innovative solution makes Zebra printers even easier to integrate, manage and maintain than ever before — from any location. The Link-OS environment is highly flexible, allowing new and creative ways for users to develop applications that interact with Zebra printers from mobile devices located anywhere in the world. Users can perform updates, gather data, and make smarter business choices from new analytic-driven insights.
Engineered for Ease of Use, Versatility and Outstanding Value
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® qualified to save you money throughout their lifecycle.
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.
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.
Featuring the Link-OS Cloud Connect application, these printers can connect to the Cloud directly and securely, forwarding data from any port.
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.
