ZT23142-T0100AFZ
Select model
The Zebra SpeedPrint Pro is a family of 4-inch industrial label printers engineered for demanding B2B environments including warehousing, logistics, manufacturing and distribution. Combining thermal transfer and direct thermal print methods across multiple model variants, the SpeedPrint Pro line delivers reliable, high‑quality barcode and label output with model-dependent resolutions of 203 dpi or 300 dpi. Built on a metal-frame design with user-friendly bi-fold doors and a 4.3-inch color resistive touchscreen, these printers streamline high‑volume workflows via integrated finishing options (peeler with liner take-up, optional cutter) and broad connectivity. The platform emphasizes uptime, simple maintenance and flexible integration to support mission‑critical labeling across diverse operational settings.
Key Features
- Industrial 4-inch platform: Robust metal-frame construction and compact footprint designed for continuous, high-volume labeling in production and warehouse settings.
- Dual print methods & variable resolution: Supports thermal transfer and direct thermal printing with model-dependent resolutions (203 dpi and 300 dpi) to match application requirements.
- Integrated finishing options: Peeler with liner take-up standard on many variants; cutter with catch tray available on select models to simplify downstream handling.
- Wide connectivity: Standard interfaces include USB/USB Host, RS-232 serial, 10/100 Ethernet and Bluetooth Low Energy, with Wi‑Fi offered on specific variants for flexible deployment.
- Operator-focused controls: 4.3-inch color resistive touchscreen plus multi-color status LEDs provide intuitive setup, monitoring and on-site management.
- Serviceability and memory: Tool-less maintenance features and on-board memory (examples: 256 MB Flash, 256 MB SDRAM on certain models) help reduce downtime and support complex label applications.
