Zebra® ZQ500TM Series Mobile Printers
Extreme environments and bangs and bumps are no match for these lightweight, compact printers. Zebra’s ZQ510™ and ZQ520™ printers are the most rugged printers available. They perform in the widest operating temperature range in the industry and can withstand repeated drops to concrete from up to 6.6 feet. Water spray is no match with their IP54 rating. Featuring Zebra’s Link-OS® environment, these premium printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain. With large buttons and a user-friendly interface, they are easy to operate, even when wearing gloves.
Rugged Design
Mobile work environments can be abusive for hardware. The ZQ500 printers are lightweight, yet engineered to handle the bumps, drops and collisions that are part of the job. The printers feature a patented military design that meets third-party-verified MIL-STD 810g military standards for shock, vibration and temperature exposure. The printers can withstand repeated drops to concrete from 6.6’ on multiple sides.
Environmental Endurance
The ZQ500 printers meet IP54-rating for resistance to dust and liquids that are common in mobile environments—from dirt in the field to crumbs in a service vehicle. And with cold temperature compensation, the ZQ500 Series automatically optimizes and balances print speed and print quality in cold temperatures.
Optimized Printing Power
The ZQ500 printers are Zebra's first products to support a secondary Bluetooth communication channel. The ZQ500 printers also feature "draft mode" which optimizes the printing speed (up to 5 inches per minute) for text-only printing.
Simple to Use
ZQ500 printers are designed for intuitive, simple use—from the first shift to the last. The simplified user interface reduces the amount of accidentally changed printer settings, and the large buttons increase accuracy for gloved hands and fingers. Intuitive media loading reduces time employees spend changing rolls, and with sleep mode the printer wakes up when a job is sent and conserves battery power when not in use.
Remote Management
The ZQ500 Series offers several device management options, including Profile Manager, which allows you to manage printers anywhere, anytime via a browser. Support for industry-standard MDM utilities makes it easy to communicate with all devices. The ZQ500 printers are equipped with Syslog, an IT diagnostics tool that enables the printer to save and record error events that are written and can be retrieved from a file or, for remote troubleshooting, written to an IP port.
Link-OS Environment
The ZQ500 offers several Link-OS environment software solutions and tools, including:
- PrintTouch NFC technology for fast pairing and easy access to essential data
- Profile Manager to monitor and control Link-OS printers anywhere in the world—all from one PC, tablet or smartphone screen
- Cloud Connect for direct and secure connection to the cloud
- Virtual Device Support – enabling printing using non-Zebra command languages
