Zebra introduces palm-size mobile receipt printer

Zebra Technologies, a provider of on-demand printing solutions for business improvement, has announced the introduction of the miniature MZ220 mobile receipt printer, designed for applications such as retail queue busting, delivery and field service operations, hospitality and tableside receipt printing and public transportation ticketing.

This small and sleek mobile printer fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, weighs less than a pound and offers a wide range of connectivity from Infrared Data Association (IrDA) and USB 2.0 connectivity to optional Bluetooth and 802.11b/g.

‘The MZ220 is the perfect printer for quick and convenient printing from mobile workers’ personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices and smart phones. A great addition to the Zebra mobile printer family, it’s a smart solution for simple, low-volume receipt printing,’ said Bob Danahy, director of global mobile and wireless technology at Zebra.

‘Designed with our customers in mind, this economical, lightweight mobile printer is attractive, easy to use and backed by the same reliability and quality that the Zebra brand is known for worldwide.’

The MZ220 is small enough to fit easily in the palm of the hand and can be carried or worn comfortably all day by a mobile worker. User-friendly and attractive, it is ideal for use in retail, hospitality and other customer-facing environments. The MZ220 also features Zebra’s advanced networking support, via tools such as ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise printer management software, and advanced security protocols such as 802.11i and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

The MZ220 joins Zebra’s mobile printing family that includes the RW series of rugged receipt printers, the QL Plus series of advanced mobile label printers and the Cameo series of payment processing receipt printers. The MZ220 is available from February 5 in North America, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe. A three-inch-wide version of the printer, the MZ320, will be available in Europe from mid-February .
