Zebra ZD200 series · Entry level
ZD230DA / ZD230TA
Cost-effective, USB-only 4-inch desktop printers with the features basic printing needs: DA is direct thermal, TA is thermal transfer.
Plug into USB straight out of the box and start printing. Support for ZPL, EPL and non-Zebra command languages lets it replace an existing printer, with 203 dpi or optional 300 dpi. A single feed/pause button, a three-colour status LED and colour-coded touch points mean no training is needed. It restarts automatically after a power outage and has a clear media window.
