ZD888DA/ZD230DA Series

The Zebra ZD888DA and ZD230DA are cost-effective direct thermal desktop printers designed for basic labeling tasks, offering similar performance to the ZD200 series with a focus on economy. Both models print 4-inch wide labels at modest speeds (~4 ips) and feature a simple single-button interface with USB connectivity for plug-and-play operation. The ZD888 is a region-specific model (sold in China) that is virtually identical to the ZD230DA in specifications, but it may come with different service and warranty provisions in other markets. Overall, these printers provide an economical solution for straightforward barcode or receipt printing needs, using direct thermal technology (no ribbon) to minimize maintenance and consumable costs. The Tulip team tested this device as described in the KB article and guarantees that it works as expected.
