Zebra Technologies Introduces Industry's Most Rugged Mobile Printers
Easy to use ZQ500 series combines military-grade design with intuitive user experience
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in products and services that provide real-time visibility into organizations' assets, people and transactions, today announced the launch of the new ZQ500 mobile printer series for field-based applications. Zebra will debut the ZQ500 series this week in booth #1552 at the ProMat 2015 conference in Chicago.
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.
KEY FACTS
- 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.
- The 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.
- Featuring a 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 optimizes 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 ZQ500 series comes standard with 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.
- The ZQ500 mobile printers are now available in North America and will be available globally later this year.
