ZQ511 & ZQ521 Mobile Printers
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.
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’
(1M), 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 oer an optional exoskeleton case that
increases our standard drop testing from 6.6’ to 10’ and improves the
IP rating to IP65.
Print it All: Receipts, RFID tags, Labels and Linerless
Optimized for on-demand receipt printing in 3” (72mm) and 4”
(104mm) print widths, the ZQ511 and ZQ521 printers also print a
variety of labels including UHF RFID tags for all your tracking needs.
Zebra’s comprehensive RFID por tfolio is the only one to include
mobile printers to help you reduce errors, and print and encode
RFID labels on the go.
Built to Last
New over-molding helps increase the longevit y and keeps your
ZQ500 Series looking good over the life of the printer.
Rugged, reliable mobile printing for the toughest jobs.

ZQ511 & ZQ521 MOBILE PRINTERS
On-the-Go Power, Functionality and Premium Performance
Get All the Benefits of Linerless Media
Eliminate waste and improve your company’s green initiative with
linerless printing. Linerless media also allows your workforce to
spend 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.
Power Your Team to Do More
The ZQ511 and ZQ521 printers’ high-capacity 3250 mAh
PowerPrecision+ battery powers your team – even during the
longest shift. The printer also conserves battery life by entering
sleep mode when not in use, then automatically wakes up when a
print job is sent.
Stay Connected Everywhere
With support for 802.11ac Wi-Fi and its latest security protocols,
plus Bluetooth 4.1 Classic and Low Energy, your workers can
count on blazing fast and secure connections. Use the dual radio
to simultaneously operate 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1 for added
connectivity.
