ZT600 RFID Industrial Printers

Strong, smart and scalable RFID encoding

To stay ahead in today’s highly competitive manufacturing or transportation and logistics industries, you need technology solutions that will grow with your business. ZT600 Series printers combine industrial durability and user-friendly features with future-proof adaptability–including a factory–or field-installable RFID encoder–to meet your evolving needs for years to come. Featuring Zebra DNA™ for Printers, a suite of applications, utilities and developer tools–all powered by Link-OS™–these RFID printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain from any location around the globe. Optimized to accurately and efficiently print and encode labels and tags, the ZT600 Series RFID printers give greater control, and insight, which can lead to significant advantages in a highly competitive environment.

Get unparalleled visibility and control with Link-OS

At Zebra, we believe printers should be as intuitive, user-friendly and integrated as the smartphones and other devices that keep us connected outside of work. With intuitive Zebra DNA software, powered by Link-OS, they are. These powerful tools give you unprecedented, real-time visibility and control of your printing systems, on-site or remotely, with cloud-accessible applications that simplify everything from setup to management to troubleshooting.

Expand your view with industry-leading tracking technology

It only takes five minutes to upgrade the ZT610 and ZT620 to RFID encoding in the field. Once RFID-enabled, these printers are engineered to accurately and efficiently print and encode labels for today’s most advanced item-level tracking applications.

Adaptive encoding enables media flexibility and simple RFID calibration, eliminating complex placement guides. An intuitive menu further reduces setup time. And Zebra’s RFID technology is certified on six continents, providing operational visibility and business insight across complex, multinational supply chains.

Get 24/7 reliability, even in the harshest environments

Built to deliver outstanding print quality under the most challenging industrial conditions, ZT600 Series printers virtually eliminate operational downtime due to printer failure. Their durable, all-metal designs hold up against extreme temperatures, dust, debris, moisture and worse. Guided instructions and feedback eliminate common errors and reduce manual adjustments for highly consistent printing. And high-quality print mechanisms and internal components deliver superior print quality and speed across the widest range of applications. A field-installable, full-width, guillotine-style cutter with catch tray is ideal for apparel tag applications.

Reduce RFID Media Costs

Tags are spaced incredibly close together, with a distance (pitch) of 0.6 in./16 mm or narrower on most RFID inlays–smaller than what other printer/encoders can accommodate. By spacing inlays closer, label converters use less material, which reduces your cost per label, requires fewer media roll changes and gives you faster printer/encoder throughput.
