ZT23142-D01A00FZ-RTRN | Zebra ZT231 Barcode Printer (203dpi, Direct Thermal) - Light Industrial Zebra Label Printer
ZT23142-D01A00FZ-RTRN is a Zebra ZT231 Direct Thermal light industrial label printer that prints at 203dpi, up to 4.09 in. wide. The ZT231 is the successor to the Zebra ZT230: a compact 4-inch printer with a durable metal frame, a 4.3 in. color touch screen you can use with gloves on, and a bi-fold door that lets it fit where space is tight.
It's a sensible step up from a desktop printer when your volume has outgrown one, without the size or cost of a full industrial model. The ZT231 comes in several configurations, so the details below are specific to this part number. Midwest Barcoding Solutions supplies Zebra printers to businesses across the Midwest, and we're glad to help you confirm this is the right build before you order.

How Do You Know Which Zebra ZT231 Is Right for You?
Every Zebra ZT231 shares the same core specs. What changes from one part number to the next is how it's configured. These are the choices to make:
- Thermal transfer or direct thermal: the ZT231 is sold both ways, and this part number is a Direct Thermal model. A thermal transfer model prints with a ribbon for longer-lasting labels. A direct thermal model prints without one and can't have a ribbon added.
- Print resolution (dpi): 203 dpi is standard and suits most shipping and warehouse barcodes. 300 dpi gives sharper small text and denser barcodes.
- Media handling: the standard build tears labels off at the front. You can also choose a cutter, a peel option that presents each label with the liner removed, or peel with a take-up that winds the used liner onto a roll.
- Connectivity: USB, serial, Ethernet and Bluetooth come standard. Wi-Fi is available if the printer won't sit near a network drop.
- RFID: the ZT231 is available with a UHF RFID encoder, for printing and encoding RFID labels in one pass.
- Need more? The Zebra ZT411 prints faster, adds a 600 dpi option and can rewind a full roll of finished labels.
Once you know what you need, head to our Zebra ZT231 and ZT230 printers page and use the filters in the left-hand navigation to narrow the list to the printer that matches.
