Zebra Technologies Corporation has announced the launch of the ZQ500 mobile printer series for field-based applications.
The 3-inch ZQ510 and 4-inch ZQ520 printers are portable, print-on-demand devices that combine a military-grade design with simple functionality for printing solutions for the transportation and logistics, manufacturing and government markets.
The lightweight ZQ500 series can be used for a variety of mobile applications including e-citation, parking enforcement, field sales and service receipts, transportation tickets, car rental receipts for vehicle return, proof of delivery and utility readings and invoices and feature:
• Easy to set up printers feature a simple design offering an intuitive display with only three large buttons and no menus – increasing accuracy for gloved hands and fingers.
• Rugged military-grade design for exceptional durability and reliability in the toughest environments, the ZQ500 series offers:
• IP54 (or IP65 with optional exoskeleton case) rating for protection against dust and liquids
• MIL-STD 810g military qualifications for shock, vibration and temperature exposure
• Cold temperature compensation automatically optimises and balances print speed and quality in cold temperatures – ideal for direct-store deliveries (DSD) that require colder transportation
• Protection for the media from being ejected when the printer is dropped
• The latest Bluetooth Smart Ready 4.0 (low energy) connectivity, Print Touch device pairing and support for all major smartphone and tablet operating systems.
These printers are also Zebra’s first to support a secondary Bluetooth channel for simultaneous operations– enabling developers to create new device management solutions and helping increase worker productivity.
