Advancing the ZE500 Series, ZE511 and ZE521 print engines build on this proven legacy with faster print speeds, performance-enhancing capabilities and evolving intelligence that make them stand apart. Added features such as the 4.3-inch, full-color LCD touch screen make operation easier. Add field-installable RFID printing and encoding capabilities featuring Zebra’s exclusive technology and new algorithms for easy calibration and media flexibility. The 4-inch ZE511 and 6-inch ZE521 deliver rugged durability to push the limits. Engineered without the need for cooling fans, their external cabinets are designed to resist debris and water ingress making them ideal in dusty environments or where water may be splashed.
The ZE511 and ZE521 are incredibly easy to integrate and use. Deploy them anywhere with setup tools, wizards and emulation capabilities. The large color touch screen and intuitive user interface make setup and operation easy with minimal training. Mount the screen where it’s convenient for you, up to two meters from the print engine, and rotate the screen to match your space. See printer status at a glance, make expedited settings changes and access support.
Keep your lines moving quickly with best-in-class print speeds, up to 18 inches per second. For 203 dpi use cases printing faster than 14 ips, select the optional high-speed printhead1. For premium print resolution, choose the 600 dpi option. Add your ZE511 or ZE521 to your existing wired and wireless networks or connect them directly to any PC. Every ZE511 and ZE521 comes with USB, Serial, Ethernet, a dual USB Host port and Bluetooth 4.1. Add an optional Parallel, 802.11 a/c wireless or Ethernet card to the open internal communication slot.

Use onboard analytics to predict and schedule maintenance to prevent unexpected downtime. Troubleshoot remotely and swap out the extended-life modular drive quickly and easily via only three screws for offline servicing to keep workflows moving. The ZE511 and ZE521 have an improved socketed printhead design that eliminates tools with the quick-release tab. Easily remove all three platen, pinch and peel rollers in minutes from the front of the print engine without the need to remove the unit from the print-and-apply system. Captured fasteners eliminate lost hardware. Quickly access internal components via a hinged cage system that swings open wide for fast, simple maintenance, newly designed with even more interior workspace. Provision printers quickly and easily by mirroring using a USB flash drive including firmware, embedded files and settings. Or, configure using a mobile device and Zebra’s Printer Setup Utilities.
