Frequently asked questions
What RFID tags can the ZD611R encode?
UHF tags compatible with EPC Gen 2 V2.1, ISO/IEC 18000-63 and RAIN RFID, with a minimum tag pitch of 0.6 in. It prints and encodes labels, tags and wristbands up to 2.36 in wide in one pass.
Do I need to calibrate for each RFID label?
No. Adaptive encoding finds the best encoding position on the inlay, so there are no complex placement guidelines.
What label sizes fit?
Media from 0.585 to 2.36 in wide and 0.25 to 39 in long, such as 2 x 1 in and 2.25 x 1.25 in labels. It prints up to 2.2 in wide at 203 dpi.
What roll size and core fit?
Rolls up to 5 in outer diameter on 0.5 in or 1 in cores, and 1.5, 2 or 3 in cores with optional adapters.
What connectivity does it have?
Every ZD611R has Ethernet, USB 2.0 and USB Host, plus Bluetooth LE for the Zebra setup app. Serial and dual-radio Wi-Fi with Bluetooth are available by model or as field-installable kits. Wireless models on this page ship with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) + Bluetooth 5.3 or Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth 4.1.
What ribbons does it take?
74 m (243 ft) ribbons on 0.5 in cores, 1.3 to 2.24 in wide.
Can it run on battery?

What print resolutions does the Zebra ZD611R come in?
The Zebra ZD611R comes in 203 dpi and 300 dpi. This page lists the 203 dpi models. See Zebra ZD611R — 300 dpi Models.
Should I choose 203 dpi or 300 dpi?
203 dpi (8 dots/mm) is the standard for shipping labels, barcodes and most product labels. 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) prints sharper small text, small barcodes, 2D codes and logos, so it suits small labels such as electronics, healthcare and jewelry labels. 600 dpi (24 dots/mm) is for very small, high-detail labels.
