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.

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.
