Zebra 220Xi4 Barcode Printer

Description:

Zebra’s built-to-last 220Xi4 printer is renowned for its incredible durability, consistently outstanding print quality, fast print speed, long life, and unparalleled reliability in demanding applications. The 220Xi4 is designed for printing labels up to 8" wide for chemical drums or other wide label applications. The ZT610 or ZT620 Industrial printers are the preferred printers for high-volume print applications with a print width of less than 6.6" (168 mm).

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Methods: Offers two printing methods to cater to different needs:

  • Thermal Transfer: Utilizes a ribbon to produce high-resolution, durable labels that resist fading, moisture, and chemicals, ideal for applications in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. (Ribbons not included)
  • Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive labels for faster printing at a lower cost, suitable for short-term labels that don't require extreme durability.

• Print Speed: Delivers a fast print speed of up to 10 inches (254 mm) per second at 203 dpi resolution, making it efficient for handling high-volume printing needs. Print speed might be slightly slower at higher resolutions.

• Print Resolution: Provides two resolution options for different levels of detail:

  • 203 dpi (dots per inch): Ideal for printing clear and legible barcodes, text, and basic graphics on a wide range of labels.
  • 300 dpi (optional): Available on some models, this higher resolution allows for sharper details and smaller barcodes, suitable for applications requiring intricate graphics or high-density information.

Durability and Design:

• Industrial-Grade Construction: Features a heavy-gauge steel casing that can withstand harsh industrial environments. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.

• Large Media Capacity: Accommodates wide labels with a maximum print width of up to 8.5 inches (216 mm) and an outer diameter of up to 8 inches (203.2 mm), minimizing media changes and downtime. This makes it suitable for applications that require printing large labels, such as chemical drums or industrial signage.

• Clear View Window: Allows for easy monitoring of media levels, so you can refill labels before encountering interruptions.

Usability and User Interface:

• Full-Function Control Panel: Equipped with a user-friendly control panel featuring a large, multi-lingual, backlit LCD display for navigation, configuration, and monitoring printer status. This allows for easy interaction and control over printing tasks.

• Programmable Password Protection: Offers an optional security feature that restricts unauthorized access to printer settings.

Connectivity Options:

• Versatile Connectivity: Provides multiple interfaces for flexible network integration and device connections:
  • Ethernet port for network printing, enabling multiple devices to share the printer on a local area network.
  • USB 2.0 port for direct connection to a computer.
  • RS-232 serial port for compatibility with older devices. (Optional on some models)
  • Parallel port (optional on some models) for legacy systems.
  • USB Host port for connecting external devices like a scanner or keyboard.

Memory:

• Ample Storage: Comes standard with 64 MB Flash memory and 16 MB SDRAM memory, providing sufficient space for storing fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, and custom applications. This allows for smooth operation and storage of necessary printing elements.

Advanced Features:

• Zebra Programming Languages: Supports a variety of Zebra programming languages, including ZPL and EPL, for customizing label formats and integrating with existing barcode software.

• Dual Media Sensors: Equipped with both transmissive and reflective sensors, allowing for automatic media detection and adjustment for different label types.

• Automatic Calibration: The printer automatically calibrates itself when powered on or when the printhead is closed, ensuring consistent print quality.

• Internal Clock: Maintains accurate timestamps for printed labels.

Additional Enhancements (depending on the model):

• Factory-Installed Cutter: Some models come with a built-in cutter for automatic on-demand label separation, improving workflow efficiency.

• Optional Peel-off Kit: Enables automatic peeling of labels after printing, further streamlining the labeling process.
