The ZQ500 Series Zebra the most suitable for mobile printing. Shunning all adverse conditions,  direct thermal printers have been conceptualised for reliability in nearly every environment. Falls from heights up to 2 m, vibration, splash water and dirt particles have no negative effect. Certified to meet both MIL-STD-810G and IP54, they meet user expectations to print. An operating temperature between -20° to +55° C allows for operation in most weather. Therefore, nothing stands in the way of their usage in light industry, transportation and logistics, for public authorities and field technicians. 

With extra-large keys for ease of handling with or without gloves, an intuitive user surface ensure that print jobs run smoothly. Features such as the integrated real-time clock and draft print mode for quick text prints (up to 127 mm per second) with Power Smart print technology and a powerful 3,250 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery provides a reliable long-term operational readiness – there is even an optional 4,900 mAh battery for longer work shifts reducing recharge requirements.  

There are two models:- the 3'' linerless model ZQ511 and the 4'' ZQ521. They mainly differ in their printing/media width (max. media width: 80, respectively 113 mm). Both models come standard with Bluetooth 4.1 classic, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and SmartReady functionality, so they operate very energy efficiently. As needed, you also receive the ZQ500 printers with 802.11 ac or 802.11r Wi-Fi and dual-band support for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. For even better wireless coverage and more operational flexibility, opt for the variants with the multi-port radio module, for the simultaneous operation of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
