ZQ320 MOBILE LABEL A ND RECEIPT PRINTER: I NSIDE THE F OUR WALLS
ZQ320 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
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 ZQ320, 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 ZQ320 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 ZQ320 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 ZQ320 — 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 ZQ320 with practically any mobile device — any Bluetoothenabled Zebra mobile handheld computer and tablet, as well as any
Android, iOS, Windows CE and Windows Mobile device. And with
Wi-Fi connectivity, the ZQ320 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.
Less waste with linerless media
Go greener with linerless media. Workers no longer need to dispose
of used liner material. And since linerless media has up to 60% more
labels per roll, it requires fewer roll changes, improving printer uptime
— and associate productivity.
Global media support
With support for 3.15 in./80 mm wide media, the ZQ320 can
accommodate US standard and international metric 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 ZQ320. 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 contemporary 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 durability 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
ZQ320 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
ZQ320 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 ZQ320 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 ZQ320, 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 ZQ320 battery is user-replaceable for
perpetual power — ZQ320 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 ZQ320 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 battery 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 ZQ320 printers — only from Zebra
Zebra’s one-of-a-kind Bluetooth Remote Management application gives
you real-time visibility and remote management of all ZQ320 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 ZQ320 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 ZQ320 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)
provides insight into the basic health information and proactive steps
required to keep your ZQ320 printers up and running — all for just
pennies a day. The comprehensive fully-featured Operational Visibility
Service (OVS) connects to an MDM and allows you to monitor just about
any aspect of your Zebra printer, as well service and repair status. See
