Product information
The Zebra ZQ511 and ZQ521 are rugged mobile thermal printers from Codipack, suitable for transport, warehouses, retail, and hospitality where reliable on-the-go printing is essential. They solve the problem of static print stations by printing direct thermal labels, receipts, tags, and linerless media, even with damaged rolls or dynamic workflows.
These printers support applications such as shipping labels, packing slips, recipes, and RFID tags, with center-loading clamshell design for quick media changes and dual-sided tear bar. Bluetooth 4.1 EDR+LE and optional Wi-Fi 802.11ac with fast roaming ensure stable connection with mobile computers. IP54 protection, drops up to 2 m onto concrete, 1300 tumbles from 1 m, and -20°C to 55°C range make them suitable for intensive indoor and outdoor work.
