WITH PREMIUM MOBILE PRINTING AT THE POINT OF CARE
Want to improve specimen labeling accuracy, staff productivity and patient safety? With the ZQ600 Healthcare Series, you can.
The ZQ600 takes Zebra’s popular QLn platform and makes it even better — adding advanced technology and innovative design
that drive productivity, ease-of-use and manageability to a new level. Designed specifically for healthcare, these compact printers
are built to withstand constant disinfecting. The color display takes all the guesswork out of printer status. Advanced battery
technology powers every minute of the longest shift. The ZQ600 offers the fastest, most dependable wireless connections inside

color when the printer is paused or in an error state, such as out of media
or latch open, so users instantly know what the printer needs to stay up
and running. And since the ZQ600 Series is based on Zebra’s Link-OS
menu system, you’ll get a common UI and user experience across other
Zebra Link-OS mobile, desktop and industrial printers to lower the
learning curve.
Business tough — built for all-day every day use
While the ZQ600 is lightweight and comfortable to wear all shif t long,
it is loaded with features that give it long-lasting durability, including

Resolve problems faster with the Ethernet Cradle
Remote management is easy with the Ethernet Cradle. By docking the
printer in the cradle at the end of every shift, IT can remotely upgrade
the firmware as needed to ensure that each printer is operating at peak
performance. Should sta experience a problem, they can simply dock
the printer into the cradle for a remote diagnosis — eliminating the
downtime and costs associated with shipping a printer to the repair
depot when nothing is physically wrong.

With our comprehensive and flexible remote management tools, you
can maintain, secure and troubleshoot printers simply and easily, from
anywhere, at anytime. Use the free Printer Setup Utilities to simplify
setup and out-of-the-box configuration tasks. And with the optional
Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, you can manage one printer,
a group of specific printers or all printers anywhere in the world. This
browser-based solution lets you instantly discover every Link-OS printer
on your net work — there’s no need to manually track down, configure or
troubleshoot printers.
Seamless integration with your device management system
Get the simplicity of a single -pane-of-glass to manage all your Zebra
mobile devices and printers — including the ZQ600 Series. With Print
DNA’s MDM Connectors, you can easily integrate net worked ZQ600
Series printers into your existing AirWatch or SOTI MobiControl device
management system. And if you are using Ivanti Avalanche (powered
by Wavelink), the ZQ600 Series oers suppor t for Avalanche right out
of the box.
Ensure continued reliability with Printhead Diagnostics
With the ZQ600 Series, you don’t need to worr y about downtime
from a worn-out printhead. Our unique Printhead Diagnostics provide
visibility into the health of printheads across your deployment,
enabling you to take action before productivity is impacted.

user site, or for the printer to be sent back to a central location for updating.
• Print management for updating templates, fonts and graphics in order to print new label formats.
• Device management for updating startup (e.g., config. sys), WML (front panel) or HTML (browser) files to
enhance or change configuration and status collection.
• Network management for updating encr yption keys or certificate files to maintain the highest level of security.
• Problem resolution and troubleshooting local printer issues that may otherwise require the printer to be
sent in for repair.
• Ability to manage Bluetooth printers, which traditionally have been o-network.
