ZQ300 MOBILE RECEIPT PRINTER SERIES: INSIDE THE FO UR WALLS
ZQ300 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer Series
CLASSLEADING BATTERY POWER, VERSATILITY, DURABILITY AND EASY
REMOTE MANAGEMENT IN AN AFFORDABLE MOBILE PRINTER
The mobile printing capabilities in your retail store directly impact customer service quality and associate productivity. With receipt
printing, associates can ring up sales anywhere in the store to prevent abandoned sales, improve the shopper experience and increase
revenue. And with on-the-spot printing of labels, associates can complete markups, markdowns and shelf label audits faster and more
accurately — providing more time to help more shoppers and preventing costly pricing errors. With the Zebra ZQ300 Series 58 mm/2 in.
and 80 mm/3 in. paper width printers, your associates can do it all. This compact and lightweight printer is designed for easy one-handed
operation, bringing all-day comfort to mobile printing. Unique, patented battery and battery management technologies deliver the longest
battery cycle times for constant full-shift power. When it comes to durability, the ZQ300 Series oers the most rugged specifications in
its class. With support for 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0, you get the latest wireless connections in this class for fast printing. And the ZQ300
Series runs Link-OS® and is supported by our powerful Print DNA suite of applications, utilities and developer tools that deliver a superior
printing experience through better performance, simplified remote manageability and easier integration. The ZQ300 Series — the
aordable little mobile printer that delivers big business value.
MORE VERSATILITY FOR MORE VALUE
One printer — dual capabilities: receipts and labels
Now, one printer can do double duty: the same printer your store
associates use to print receipts for point of sale transactions can
also print labels for shelves as well as item markdowns and markups.
Connect to virtually any handheld
Pair the ZQ300 Series with practically any mobile device — any
Bluetooth-enabled Zebra mobile handheld computer and tablet, as
well as any Android, iOS, Windows CE and Windows Mobile device.
And with Wi-Fi connectivity, the ZQ300 Series can easily double as a
desktop printer to support local printing needs as well as labels you
might receive from your corporate headquarters.
Print inside — and outdoors
If your retail store has outdoor departments, no problem. With IP54
sealing and support for water-resistant media, you can count on legible
text and scannable barcodes, even when printing in the rain or snow.
Global media support
The ZQ300 Series accommodates international metric and US
media widths.
SUPERIOR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
DURABLE AND CONTEMPORARY
Sleek consumer styling on the outside —
with superior Zebra industrial design on the inside
You get the best of both worlds with the ZQ300 Series. The lightweight
design ensures user comfort all shift long. The slim profile makes it easy
to use in tight spaces and cramped aisles without bumping into fixtures
or walls. And while its contemporar y look fits right into the most design
conscious retail store, you get the durability for which Zebra is famous.
It’s the only printer in its class to oer triple durabilit y specifications:
IP54 sealing, a 5 ft./1.5 m drop specification and a 500-drop tumble
specification, which simulates the real-world tumbling that follows a drop.
The result? The ZQ300 Series simply works, even if your employees
drop it, bump it, use it in a dusty backroom or splash liquid on it.
FASTER, EASIER AND HIGHLY RELIABLE
WIRELESS CONNECTIONS
The latest wireless connections for faster printing
Enjoy superior printing speeds and power eciency with the latest
in Bluetooth connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 Classic and Low Energy. And
with support for WLAN 802.11ac and the latest Wi-Fi security protocols,
you get blazing fast and secure connections whether you connect the
ZQ300 Series to a host mobile device or a Wi-Fi network.
Robust and reliable connectivity
Zebra’s patented Power Smart Print Technology™ ooads processing
from the printer CPU, freeing up processing power to better manage
wireless communications. The result? More consistent and dependable
wireless connections for maximum productivity.

Split-second tap-to-pair simplicity
The integrated NFC tag allows users to pair the ZQ300 Series with
any Zebra NFC-enabled mobile device with a quick tap — no more
scanning barcodes, manually configuring devices for discovery
or accidental pairing with another nearby device. Even new and
temporary workers are up and running in seconds, without having
to call for support.
MAXIMIZE BATTERY POWER AND MINIMIZE
BATTERY MANAGEMENT TIME AND COST
User-replaceable PowerPrecision+ battery for full-shift
power and extraordinary battery management capabilities
Your workers depend on their mobile printers nearly every minute
of the day. And with the ZQ300 Series, you can be sure that every
worker has plenty of power for every shift. The PowerPrecision+
2280 mAh battery, a unique sleep mode and patented Power
Smart Print Technology
oering one of the longest cycle times in this class. A wealth of
easily accessible battery metrics makes it easier than ever to
identify, remove and replace aging batteries before they impact
productivity. And the ZQ300 Series battery is user-replaceable for
perpetual power — ZQ300 Series printers never need to be taken
out of service due to a dead battery.
™ combine to minimize power requirements,
Power-saving sleep mode with instant wake
This intelligent printer automatically enters sleep mode when it is
idle, and automatically wakes up upon receipt of a printing job — no
need for workers to remember to turn o the printer to save power.
Reduce battery power consumption up to 30 percent
with patented Power Smart Print Technology™
This patented Zebra technology reduces battery power consumption
by calculating and delivering the exact amount of power required
to provide the highest quality printing. Where competitive devices
provide a constant level of power, the ZQ300 Series print speed is
adjusted dynamically in real time, based on many factors — from
motor torque, battery and print head temperature to print density,
battery age, available voltage and more. As a result, power
consumption is reduced by an average of 20 to 30 percent per
battery cycle.
The most charging options for maximum
flexibility — and scalability
Multi-slot printer and batter y chargers that utilize a common base
and can even accommodate select Zebra mobile computers make
it easy to cost-eectively create a rack-based backroom charging
station that can accommodate all your devices now — and in the
future. Single-slot printer and battery chargers are ideal on any
desk. And with the AC-to-USB power adapter, users can simply
plug the printer into any outlet to charge.
SUPERIOR PRINTER MANAGEMENT EASY,
REMOTE, COMPREHENSIVE AND COSTEFFECTIVE
Industry-first application for easy, remote management of
Bluetooth-connected ZQ300 Series printers — only from Zebra
Zebra’s one-of-a-kind Bluetooth Remote Management application
gives you real-time visibility and remote management of all ZQ300
Series printers that are connected to any Android device via Bluetooth.
Running on the Android mobile device, this application collects and
sends a wealth of information about the ZQ300 Series to your Mobile
Device Management (MDM) solution — either Zebra’s Printer Profile
Manager Enterprise printer management software or SOTI MobiControl.
Now, the same tool you use to remotely manage your other mobile
devices also allows you to easily update, monitor and troubleshoot your
mobile printers, all in real-time from a remote central location. Printer
management shifts from reactive to proactive, improving printer uptime,
ROI and TCO. And since this solution utilizes a secondary Bluetooth
communication channel, it won’t interfere with ZQ300 Series printing,
protecting printer and mobile device performance.
Zebra Print DNA – transforming printers from the inside
Zebra Print DNA is the genetic code that injects business-catalytic
capabilities into our Link-OS printers through its unique combination
of innovative applications, utilities and developer tools. The result is a
superior printing experience through better performance, simplified
remote manageability and easier integration.
Optional printer management services for
maximum management flexibility
If you’re still tracking your printers manually, then you are likely missing
out on information that could save you money. Zebra’s powerful visibility
service options deliver critical insight into the information you need to
prevent printer downtime and maximize the return on this key business
asset. Our cloud- and subscription-based Asset Visibility Service (AVS)
