Additional Information

Zebra® OneCare Services

Increase printer uptime, and reduce lost productivity and unbudgeted repair costs, by selecting a Zebra® OneCare™ service agreement. A cost-effective means of planning and budgeting your annual maintenance expenditures, your agreement ensures that trained Zebra® technicians will bring your printer back to factory specifications. Zebra® offers a variety of plans to fit your budget and business needs.

Genuine Zebra® Supplies

Ensure consistent print quality, reduce downtime and increase productivity in your printing process with Genuine Zebra® supplies. We manufacture each supplies product with the exact same materials every time so you always get crisp, readable and scannable output without needing to adjust the printer darkness setting between rolls.

ZebraLink™ Software Suite

The ZebraLink™ suite of software and tools makes it simple to design, manage and adapt a barcode printing application tailored to meet your unique business needs.

Encased Design Withstands Harsh Environments

Engineered without the need for cooling fans, the ZE500™ Series’ external cabinet is impervious to prevent debris and water from entering the print engine. This added protection enables the printer to perform in dusty environments or where wash-down and water may be splashed around.

Smart Design and Features Give You Added Control and Capabilities

Featuring a broad range of connectivity, the ZE500™ Series includes standard Serial, Parallel, USB and wired Ethernet-along with optional wireless capabilities-making it easy to integrate into your network.

Easy to Set Up

The large, graphical display with simple five-button menu can be rotated or remotely located up to two meters with an optional kit, so it is easily accessible even for unusual mounting orientations. The applicator IO is the same for 5V and 24V-just simply switch jumpers to convert.

Immediate Access to Support

An integrated QR Code gives you quick access to support and helpful how-to videos on topics ranging from changing the ribbon or drive system to changing the printhead and more.

Customize Print Quality Settings

Maximize print and image quality with the easy-to-use outboard cam system that adjusts the printhead to the platen roller on all three different axes-no matter what media is in use. And, two printhead toggles help maximize pressure dispensation across the printhead so you can dial in even further on print quality.

Simple to Maintain and Service

Easily remove all three platen, pinch and peel rollers in minutes from the front of the print engine without the need to remove the ZE500™ print engine from the print-and-apply system. Captured fasteners eliminate lost hardware, and the pinch and peel rollers are now the same part to eliminate confusion and misinstallation.

Quickly access internal components via a hinged cage system that swings open wide for fast, simple maintenance. The innovative, extended-life modular drive system is engineered to be easily removed via only three screws and can be used as a spare module or rebuilt on a bench top. Change belts or alter resolution from 203 dpi to 300 dpi or vice versa in minutes. No need to shut down your operations for simple changes or maintenance.

Note

For optimum print quality and printer performance, use Genuine Zebra® supplies. Specifications subject to change without notice.
