Zebra ZT610 RFID Barcode Printer

Description:

The Zebra ZT610 RFID is a powerhouse for industrial label printing. Its all-metal design tackles tough environments, while the user-friendly features keep things smooth. This workhorse prints and encodes RFID tags for asset tracking, inventory management, and more. With print speeds up to 14 inches per second and resolutions of 203, 300, or 600 dpi, it delivers clear, crisp labels for any need.

Features:

Core Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Thermal transfer technology, requiring ribbons along with labels to produce durable labels resistant to fading, moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures (ribbons not included).
• Print Speed and Resolution: Offers multiple options to cater to different needs:
  • Maximum speed of 14 ips (inches per second) at 203 dpi resolution for high-volume printing.
  • Slower speeds available at higher resolutions (availability might vary by model):
    • 12 ips at 300 dpi for moderately detailed labels.
    • 6 ips at 600 dpi for intricate graphics, small barcodes, and fine text.
• Print Width: Maximum width of 4.09 inches (104 mm) for 203 dpi resolution and 4 inches (101.6 mm) for 600 dpi resolution (wider media capacities might be available on some models).

Industrial Design and Durability:

• Metal Frame Construction: Ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Bi-fold Metal Media Cover: Provides easy access for media loading and protects the print mechanism.
• Large Viewing Window: Allows for quick monitoring of media levels.

RFID Encoding Enhancements:

• Integrated Zebra RFID Reader/Encoder: Enables simultaneous printing and encoding of RFID tags on labels in a single process, improving workflow efficiency.
• Supported RFID Technologies (model-dependent): The ZT610 RFID might support various tag types, such as:
  • UHF (Ultra High-Frequency) for extended read ranges (suitable for pallets, warehouses).
  • HF (High-Frequency) for smaller tags on items like tools or clothing.
• Applications: RFID functionality allows for:
  • Asset tracking and management
  • Inventory control
  • Supply chain management
  • Access control (secure areas)

Usability and Interface:

• High-Visibility Color Display: Integrates a large, color display that turns red for error notifications, enabling operators to identify printer status from a distance.
• Simplified Menu System: Categorizes settings into logical groups for intuitive navigation and configuration.

Connectivity Options (depending on the model):

• Standard: USB 2.0 port for direct connection to a computer.
• Optional:
  • Ethernet port for network printing.
  • 10/100 Ethernet with internal print server enables remote management and web interface access for configuration.
  • Serial RS-232 port for compatibility with older devices.
  • 802.11ac Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® connectivity for wireless printing (availability might vary by model).

Memory and Processing Power:

• Enhanced Performance: Equipped with ample memory for smooth handling of complex printing tasks, high-resolution graphics, and RFID encoding:
  • 1 GB RAM memory ensures smooth operation.
  • 2 GB Flash memory provides ample space for storing fonts, graphics, downloaded formats, custom configurations, and RFID data.

Advanced Features:

• Micro-Consistent Printing for Top-Quality Micro Labels (on some models): Highly precise registration and print line adjustment enable printing of labels as small as 3 mm tall (length) at 600 dpi resolution, ideal for applications like circuit boards and miniature components.
• Element Energy Equalizer (E3®): Zebra's technology that ensures consistent print quality across the entire width of the label.
• Dual Media Sensors: Equipped with both transmissive and reflective sensors to automatically detect different label types (like continuous, die-cut, notch, or black mark) and adjust settings for optimal printing.
• Metal Print Mechanism with Head Open Lock: Provides a durable printing mechanism with a locking head for secure operation and easier maintenance.
• Programming Languages: Supports Zebra Programming Languages (ZPL and EPL) for advanced label formatting and customization.

Media Handling Options (may require separate purchase):

• Liner Take-Up Spindle: Rewinds excess label liner for better organization.
• Peel Modules: Automate label separation for improved workflow efficiency.
• Cutter Modules: Enable on-demand label trimming.
• Media Feeders: Increase label roll capacity for uninterrupted printing.
