TOUGH, RELIABLE, POWERFUL

On-the-go productivity requires dependable solutions in every situation.
The high-performing ZQ500 Series stands up to the test every time
regardless of the environment.

Rugged Design

Mobile work environments can be abusive for
hardware. The ZQ500 printers are lightweight, yet
engineered to handle the bumps, drops and collisions
that are part of the job. The ZQ510 and ZQ520 printers

feature a patented military design that

meets third-party-verified MIL-STD

sides—and when paired with the optional exoskeleton
case can withstand drops from 10’. And for additional
protection, the ZQ510 and ZQ520 printers are
designed to guard media from being ejected when the
printer is dropped, keeping your workforce productive
and focused while on the move.

810g military standards for shock,
vibration and temperature exposure.

The printers can withstand repeated

drops to concrete from 6.6’ on multiple

Environmental Endurance

Zebra not only protects your hardware, but also
your operational uptime. The ZQ500 printers meet
IP54-rating for resistance to dust and liquids that
are common in mobile environments—from dirt in
the field to crumbs in a service vehicle. And with
cold temperature compensation, the ZQ500 Series
automatically optimizes and balances print speed and
print quality in cold temperatures.

Optimized Printing Power

To keep your employees on task and on schedule,
the ZQ500 Series are the first Zebra products to
support a secondary Bluetooth communication
channel, an innovative feature that allows one
channel to send print jobs to the printer while a
second channel performs additional functions such
as device management. ZQ500 printers also feature
“draft mode,” which optimizes the printing speed (5+
inches-per-minute) for text-only printing. And with
Power Smart Print Technology™, the printers can
anticipate what users will print, saving batter power
yet delivering fast, high-quality receipts and labels.

Simple to Use

ZQ500 printers are designed for intuitive, simple
use—from the first shift to the last. The simplified user
interface reduces the amount of accidentally changed
printer settings, and the large buttons increase
accuracy for gloved hands and fingers. Intuitive media
loading reduces time employees spend changing rolls,
and with sleep mode the printer wakes up when a job
is sent and conserves battery power when not in use.
