Zebra ZD230d 4-inch Direct Thermal Desktop Label Printer with Peeler, 203 dpi, 152 mm/s, USB, Black

The Zebra ZD230d is a 4-inch desktop label printer that prints by direct thermal at 203 dpi and up to 152 mm/s (6 ips), made for shipping and courier labels, warehouse and stock labels, and retail product or shelf labels.

It connects over USB 2.0. As a Zebra printer it runs ZPL II and EPL natively, so courier integrations, ERP templates and existing Zebra label formats work without emulation. This version has the factory-fitted peeler, which separates each label from its liner as it prints. It is a compact, single-user or workgroup printer for counters, packing benches, back offices and small warehouses rather than a 24/7 industrial line printer.

In practice it sits between a PC or POS terminal and a roll of labels: you design labels in label software such as BarTender, or print them straight from your ERP, WMS, e-shop back office or courier portal. Label size, gap and darkness are set once in the driver or by a quick media calibration, and after that every print lands in the same place on the label.

• Zebra ZD230 printer
• External power supply with EU and UK power cords
• USB cable
• Quick start guide

• Labels from 25.4–112 mm wide on rolls up to 127 mm outside diameter — standard 100 × 150 mm (4 × 6 in) shipping labels fit.
• At up to 152 mm/s (6 ips) a 150 mm long label prints in roughly 1.0 seconds, so batches of a few hundred labels are a matter of minutes.
• With USB 2.0 only, it prints from the PC it is cabled to; to use it from several PCs, share it from that PC or choose the network version.
• No ribbon to buy or change: running cost is the labels only, and loading a new roll takes seconds.

• Media wider than 112 mm or rolls larger than 127 mm outside diameter.
• Ribbons and thermal transfer-only labels — this model has no ribbon mechanism.
• Colour printing, photos or ordinary A4 office printing — it prints one colour (black) on label media.
• Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth — this is the USB-only version, and ZD230 connectivity is factory-installed, not added later.
