Extra long-life, fabric ribbon is engineered to meet the demands of Epson's fast, high-performance impact printers. Ribbon delivers consistently crisp, black output, time and time again. Long-lasting and easy to install, this ribbon provides longer life and better character definition than imitation supplies. Lubricating agents in the ink extend the life of your printhead. Fabric is designed to work with Epson LQ2500, LQ2550, LQ860, LQ670 and LQ680 printers. Ribbon yields 2 million characters at 48 dots per character.
The ZQ521 is designed and certified to meet MIL-STD 810G for drop and shock testing, with an IP54 rating for protection against solid and liquid ingress right out of the box. It can withstand multiple drops from 6.6 feet to concrete and has been tumble tested per IEC68-2-32 spec with 1300 free falls from 3.3 feet, making it ideal for demanding warehouse, logistics, and field service applications. We also offer an optional exoskeleton case that increases drop protection to 10 feet and improves the IP rating to IP65 for even more extreme conditions.
The ZQ521 features dual-radio connectivity with 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 (both Classic and Low Energy), allowing simultaneous operation of both radios for added connectivity flexibility. It supports fast roaming with 802.11r and includes comprehensive security protocols including WEP, TKIP, AES encryption, WPA, and WPA2. This ensures your warehouse team stays connected reliably both indoors and outdoors with blazing-fast and secure connections.
The ZQ521 is powered by a high-capacity 3250 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery that provides extended runtime even during the longest shifts. The printer automatically enters sleep mode when not in use to conserve battery life, then wakes up automatically when a print job is sent. Zebra's patented Power Smart Print Technology delivers the exact amount of power required for optimal printing, maximizing battery efficiency throughout your workday.
The ZQ521 supports a maximum print width of 4.09 inches (104mm) and can print up to 5 inches per second at 203 DPI resolution. It can handle print lengths up to 39 inches and supports both vertical and horizontal printing in any orientation. The printer also includes a draft mode feature that boosts print speeds for text-only printing, helping your team complete labeling tasks faster without sacrificing quality.
Yes, the ZQ521 is available in both standard and RFID models, allowing you to print and encode UHF RFID tags for comprehensive tracking needs across your supply chain. The printer also supports linerless media printing, which eliminates waste, improves sustainability, reduces disposal time for your workforce, and allows more labels per roll to minimize media changes. This versatility makes the ZQ521 suitable for receipt, label, tag, and linerless printing applications across various industries.
