The ZE521 also offers optional RFID functionality to realise future-proof labeling solutions. Maximise your productivity with the powerful and reliable ZE521 from Zebra.

Work quickly with first-class print speeds of up to 356 mm per second. For high quality and resolution, there is an option for 600 dpi. The new printhead design with holder and quick release eliminates the need for tools for replacement.

The ZE521 6-inch module is extremely robust and durable. The design does not require a fan and the enclosure protects against foreign bodies and water ingress. This makes the modules ideal in dusty environments or where water can splash. The revolutionary Print DNA software suite gives you an innovative edge that grows with your business and is designed for the technology of tomorrow.

The ZE521 is amazingly easy to integrate and use. Thanks to setup tools, wizards and emulation functions, it can be deployed anywhere. The large colour touchscreen and intuitive operator interface make it easy to set up and operation with minimal training. The printer status can be recognised at a glance, settings can be changed quickly and support is at hand.

With the integrated analysis functions, maintenance work can be predicted and planned to prevent unexpected downtimes. Problems can be resolved remotely and the modular extended life drive is quick and easy to replace for maintenance - just three screws - to avoid disruption.
