ZD220 Printer
The Zebra ZD220 is Zebra's most budget-friendly 4-inch desktop barcode label printer, built for businesses that need basic, dependable label output without paying for features they don't need. Despite its entry-level positioning, the ZD220 is engineered with Zebra's signature dual-wall construction for durability that outlasts competing value printers by years.
Available in both direct thermal and thermal transfer configurations at 203 dpi, the ZD220 prints labels at up to 4 inches per second. Its single-button, single-LED interface keeps operation simple enough that virtually no training is required. The OpenACCESS clamshell design makes media loading quick and intuitive.
Connectivity is USB only by design, making the ZD220 ideal for fixed single-workstation setups where one computer sends labels to one printer. It supports ZPL II and EPL2 programming languages for seamless compatibility with existing label formats, shipping platforms, and ERP systems. The ZD220 is ENERGY STAR qualified for reduced power consumption and backed by Zebra's standard warranty and optional OneCare service plans.
