ZEBRA'S MOST RUGGED PREMIUM PRINTER FOR 4" APPLICATIONS

Optimized for tough environments where a high duty-cycle 4" (104mm) receipt or invoice is needed, and can also print labels for medium duty-cycle applications.

EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY AND RELIABILITY IN THE TOUGHEST ENVIRONMENTS

We pushed the limits on rugged engineering to deliver the toughest mobile printers for harsh conditions. Advancing the series, the ZQ521 offers added durability and features like linerless printing, the latest in connectivity, a high-capacity battery and Bluetooth Management. Unmatched intelligence and security keep your team productive and your network safe.

On-the-go productivity requires dependable solutions in every situation.

The ZQ521 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 - and when paired with the optional exoskeleton case can withstand drops from 10'. And for additional protection, the ZQ521 printers are designed to guard media from being ejected when the printer is dropped, keeping your workforce productive and focused while on the move. Environmental Endurance Zebra® not only protects your hardware, but also your operational uptime. The ZQ521 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 ZQ521utomatically optimizes and balances print speed and print quality in cold temperatures. Optimized Printing Power To keep your employees on task and on schedule, the ZQ521 Series are the first Zebra products to support a secondary Bluetooth communication channel, an innovative feature that allows one channel to send print jobs to the printer while a second channel performs additional functions such as device management. ZQ521 printers also feature “draft mode,” which optimizes the printing speed (5+ inches-per-minute) for text-only printing. And with Power Smart Print Technology™, the printers can anticipate what users will print, saving batter power yet delivering fast, high-quality receipts and labels.

Simple to Use

ZQ521 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.
