Why the ZT111

4-inch industrial labels on a limited budget, upgraded on site

The ZT111 is a ZT100 Series model built for light-industrial printing on a limited budget, and Zebra names it as the replacement for the ZT220. It prints thermal transfer or direct thermal at 203 dpi, or 300 dpi as an option, and takes Wi-Fi, a cutter or a peeler after purchase.

10 ips at 203 dpi

Up to 254 mm/s (10 ips) at 203 dpi and 152 mm/s (6 ips) with the optional 300 dpi printhead, across a 104 mm print width. Speeds can be set from 2 ips upwards in 1 ips steps.

Three buttons and five status LED icons

Zebra fits the ZT111 with a three-button keypad and five status LED icons instead of a screen. A bi-fold media door with a large clear window needs less height above the printer to open, and colour-coded touch points mark where to load media.

Wired ports as standard, Wi-Fi when you need it

USB 2.0, RS-232 serial, 10/100 Ethernet, USB Host and Bluetooth Low Energy are built in. One option slot takes an 802.11ac Wi-Fi card or a second 10/100 Ethernet card.

Keeps your label formats

It runs ZPL and ZPL II, with EPL and EPL2 on 203 dpi models. Zebra says the ZT111 is backwards compatible, and its printer emulations let it take over from other brands' printers without changing label formats.

Large rolls, 450 m ribbons

Media rolls up to 203 mm outside diameter on a 76 mm core, or 152 mm on a 25 mm core, and ribbons up to 450 m long, so a busy line changes supplies less often.

Upgrades on site; printhead and platen out without tools

Zebra lists field-installable Wi-Fi, cutter and peeler upgrades and a kit to convert between 203 and 300 dpi. The platen and printhead come out without tools, and printhead element out detection reports failed printhead elements.

Used in

  • Manufacturing (work-in-process, product ID and serial number labels, packaging and receiving labels)
  • Transportation and logistics (order picking and packing, shipping and receiving, cross-docking, compliance labels)
  • Retail (buy-online-pick-up-in-store labels, return tags, price and shipping labels)
  • Inventory management, asset tracking and pallet labelling

Using the ZT111 in India

These are the points buyers in India ask us about the ZT111. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

Replacing a ZT220? Send us a label you print today

Zebra names the ZT111 as the ZT220's replacement and supports the ZT220 until 31 January 2027. The ZT111 runs ZPL, and EPL on 203 dpi models; ask us to set up your label format and print test labels on your roll before you change over.

Printing EPL formats? Choose 203 dpi

Zebra runs EPL and EPL2 only on 203 dpi ZT111 models; the 300 dpi version prints ZPL. If your older software sends EPL, order the 203 dpi printer, or tell us and we confirm the setting in the quotation.

Keep it below 40 °C on the shop floor

Zebra rates the ZT111 for 5 °C to 40 °C in thermal transfer and 0 °C to 40 °C in direct thermal, at 20-85% humidity, non-condensing; place it away from ovens, sealers and direct sun.

ZT111 FAQ

What is the price of the Zebra ZT111 in India?

The ZT111 price depends on the resolution you choose (203 or 300 dpi), the options you add and the quantity. We can quote the labels and ribbon with it. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

Is the ZT111 the replacement for the ZT220?

Yes. Zebra's ZT111 page says it replaces the ZT220, and Zebra's ZT220 support page names the ZT111 as the replacement. Zebra stopped selling the ZT220 on 27 June 2022 and supports it until 31 January 2027.

Does the ZT111 print with ribbon and on direct thermal labels?

Both. It prints thermal transfer with ribbons 40-110 mm wide and up to 450 m long on a 25.4 mm core, and direct thermal without a ribbon.

Can we add Wi-Fi or a cutter after we buy it?

Yes. Zebra lists field-installable upgrades: an 802.11ac Wi-Fi card or a second Ethernet card (one per printer), a front-mount peeler without liner take-up and a guillotine cutter. A DPI Conversion Kit changes the printhead between 203 and 300 dpi.

What label and roll sizes does it take?

Labels and liner from 19.4 mm to 114 mm wide, rolls up to 203 mm outside diameter on a 76 mm core or 152 mm on a 25 mm core, and media 0.076 mm to 0.25 mm thick. It prints up to 104 mm wide.

Will our ZT220 label formats run on the ZT111?

The ZT111 runs ZPL and ZPL II, and EPL and EPL2 on 203 dpi models. Zebra says it is backwards compatible and offers Printer Emulations for other brands' formats. Ask us to set up your label format and print test labels on your roll.

ZT111 or ZT231: which should we choose?

Both print 104 mm wide at 203 or 300 dpi from the same 203 mm rolls and 450 m ribbons. The ZT231 is faster (12 ips against 10 ips at 203 dpi; 8 against 6 ips at 300 dpi), has a 4.3-inch colour touch screen and offers a UHF RFID kit; Zebra lists no RFID option for the ZT111.

Can Allmark install the ZT111 and connect it to our software?
