Product information
The Zebra ZE511 & ZE521 print engines are robust industrial printers for labels in demanding manufacturing and logistics environments. They solve labeling problems through extremely fast print speeds up to 18 ips, perfect integration in OEM applicators, and reliable 24/7 performance with 1D/2D barcodes and RFID options.
- ZE511 is the 4-inch model with max. print width of 104 mm and up to 600 dpi resolution for fine details.
- ZE521 is the 6-inch model with max. 168 mm width but up to 14 ips speed and no 600 dpi option.
Both print via thermal transfer/direct thermal, support Link-OS, Ethernet/USB/Bluetooth, and ZPL-II for SAP integration.
