About the Zebra ZQ500 ZQ511

Exceptional durability and reliability for the toughest environments

Zebra's ZQ500 Series just got tougher. The premium ZQ511 and ZQ521 printers - both available in RFID models - give you best-in-class, rugged mobile printing for applications in any industry. Experience ultimate durability. Engineered for tough, demanding indoor and outdoor conditions, these printers can withstand significant drops, tumbles, accidents and environmental extremes that are common in mobile workplaces. Additional features, enhanced durability and military-grade design mean this printer will work as hard as you do.

Print it All: Receipts, RFID tags, Labels and Linerless

Optimized for on-demand receipt printing in 3 in./72mm and 4 in./104mm print widths, the ZQ511 and ZQ521 printers also print a variety of labels including UHF RFID tags for all your tracking needs. Zebra leads the industry in RFID mobility with mobile printers as part of its comprehensive RFID portfolio, helping you reduce errors and print and encode RFID labels on the go.

Tough. Reliable. Built to Endure. | The Most Rugged Printers on the Market

You need a mobile printer that can handle serious abuse. Designed and certified to meet MIL-STD 810G for drop and shock, and tumble tested per the IEC68-2-32 spec to handle 1300 tumbles from 3.3 ft./1 m, the ZQ511 and ZQ521 printers can withstand more than the average mobile printer.

Protection from solid and liquid ingress is no problem with an IP54 rating right out of the box without the need for a protective case. 

If this isn't enough to convince you that these are ultra-rugged mobile printers, we also offer an optional exoskeleton case that increases our standard drop testing from 6.6 ft. to 10 ft. and improves the IP rating to IP65.

Built to Last

New over-molding helps increase the longevity and keeps your ZQ500 Series looking good over the life of the printer.

On-the-Go Power, Functionality and Premium Performance | Linerless Option Enhances Productivity and Sustainability

Unlock the Zebra ZeroLiner Linerless Labeling Solution with an optional linerless version of the ZQ500 Series designed to work with ZeroLiner labels. This solution not only maximizes workforce productivity but also contributes significantly to your company's sustainability efforts. With no backing liner, your workforce spends less time disposing waste and more time on the task at hand - improving your workforce productivity. And, since there are more labels on a roll, there are fewer rolls of media to carry and fewer media roll changes.

Optimize Your Printing Quality and Power

Consistent outstanding print quality and performance are key. New printhead and print mechanism, as well as new processor and added memory, deliver it. Keep your employees on task and on schedule with the ZQ500 Series' secondary Bluetooth communication channel. Send print jobs to the printer via one channel, while a second channel performs additional functions such as device management.

Boost print speeds (5+ inches-per minute) with the "draft mode" feature for text-only printing. Do more on a single battery charge with Zebra's patented Power Smart Print Technology™ that delivers the exact amount of power required for the highest quality printing. And, experience consistently sharp print quality-even in hot and cold temperatures-with enhanced temperature compensation.
