Zebra Industrial Barcode Printer ZT620

Zebra ZT620 is a high-performance industrial barcode printer designed for high-volume, high-intensity label printing needs. As the large-format version of the ZT600 series, ZT620 supports 6-inch (168mm) wide label printing, suitable for pallet labels, asset identification, large product labels and other application scenarios in logistics, manufacturing, retail and other industries.

2. Core technology and working principle

2.1 Printing technology

Dual-mode printing:

Thermal transfer (TTR): transfer ink to label material through carbon ribbon, suitable for scenarios with high durability requirements (such as outdoor signs, chemical labels).

Thermal direct printing (DT): directly heats thermal paper to develop color, no carbon ribbon is required, economical and efficient (such as short-term logistics labels).

2.2 Key components

High-precision print head:

Optional 300dpi or 600dpi resolution, supports clear printing of tiny barcodes (such as Data Matrix).

Lifespan up to 150 kilometers (thermal transfer mode), supports 24/7 continuous operation.

Intelligent sensor system:

Automatically detect label gap/black mark, positioning accuracy ±0.2mm, reduce waste.

Real-time adjustment of carbon ribbon tension to avoid breakage or relaxation.

Industrial-grade power system:

Heavy-duty stepper motor drive, supports paper rolls with a maximum outer diameter of 330mm and a load capacity of 22.7kg.

3. Core advantages

3.1 Excellent reliability and durability

All-metal structure: IP42 protection level, dust and impact resistance, suitable for harsh environments such as warehouses and workshops.

Extreme life: Mean time between failures (MTBF) 50,000 hours, far exceeding industry standards.

3.2 Efficient production and intelligence

Extreme printing speed: Maximum line speed of 356mm/s, daily production capacity exceeds 150,000 labels (based on 6-inch labels).

3.3 Wide compatibility

Multi-media support: paper, synthetic materials, PET, PVC, etc., thickness range 0.06~0.3mm.

4. Core functions

4.1 High-precision printing

Supports one-dimensional barcodes (Code 128, UPC), two-dimensional codes (QR, Data Matrix) and mixed text and images.

Optional color printing module (red/black) to highlight key information (such as "dangerous goods" logo).

4.2 Automation expansion

Integrated optional modules:

Automatic cutter: Precisely cut labels to improve sorting efficiency.

Peeler: Automatically separate the backing paper to achieve instant printing and pasting.

4.3 Safety and compliance

Complies with UL, CE, RoHS certification, and meets the labeling requirements of medical (GMP), food (FDA) and other industries.

8. Summary: Why choose ZT620?

High productivity: large format + high-speed printing to meet large-volume needs.

Industrial-grade durability: all-metal structure to adapt to harsh environments.

Intelligent connectivity: Link-OS® enables remote management and data-driven optimization.

Applicable customers:

Logistics centers and manufacturing plants that require high-load printing.

Enterprises with strict requirements on label durability and scanning rate.

Limitations:

The initial cost is higher than desktop printers, but the long-term ROI is significant.

The 6-inch width may exceed the needs of some users (optional ZT610 4-inch model).

With its reliability, efficiency and intelligence, ZT620 has become the ultimate solution for label printing for medium and large enterprises.
