Introduction

Extreme environments, bangs and bumps are no match for ZQ500 Series printers. Engineered with military-grade durability, they can withstand significant drops to concrete, sprayed liquids, dirt, accidents and more that are common in mobile workplaces. Large buttons and a user-friendly interface make these printers easy to operate, even when wearing gloves. Loaded with premium features and a high-capacity battery, they help boost productivity and work as long and hard as you do.

The ZQ511T and ZQ521T advance the series with added ruggedness and features. Tumble tested to handle 1300 tumbles from 3.3Ft. (1M), they also have an over-molding to increase longevity. And, both are available in linerless or RFID models. Maximize your investment with their 2-year standard warranty.

Featuring Zebra's exclusive Print DNA suite of tools, ZQ500 Series printers are easy to integrate, maintain and manage - even over Bluetooth. And, they have unmatched intelligence and security.

RUGGED DESIGN
ZQ500 Series printers are engineered to endure serious abuse. They withstand the bumps, drops, accidents, liquids, dirt and environmental extremes that are common in mobile workplaces. Their patented military design meets third-party-verified MIL-STD 810g military standards for shock, vibration and temperature exposure. An IP54-rating for resistance to dust and liquids. And, the ZQ511 and ZQ521 are tumble tested per the IEC68-2-32 spec to handle 1300 tumbles from 3.3Ft. (1M).

INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY
Take your printing capabilities to a new level with Zebra's powerful Print DNA suite of productivity, management, development and visibility tools. Configure, manage and maintain printers remotely anywhere around the globe. Oversee batteries in real time, automate processes, control security settings and much more. Gain visibility and manage your ZQ511 and ZQ521 Bluetooth printers inside and outside your four walls with the industry's first Bluetooth Management. And, safeguard your network with Zebra's exclusive PrintSecure.

RFID OR LINERLESS CAPABILITIES
Combine the convenience and flexibility of a mobile printer with the enhanced tracking capabilities of RFID. Print and encode Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID labels on-demand, anywhere. Automatically calibrate RFID media with Zebra's exclusive adaptive encoding technology. Or, eliminate waste and improve your company's green initiative with linerless printing. Spend less time disposing of waste and more time on the task at hand, improving your workforce productivity. Carry fewer rolls of media and change media rolls less frequently.
