Zebra Technologies launches mobile printer

Zebra Technologies has extended its QLn mobile printer family – unveiled in June 2011 – with the launch of the QLn220 mobile printer.

The QLn220 prints two-inch labels, meeting specific market and application needs where a smaller format is preferred – such as mobile healthcare applications including bedside specimen labeling as well as retail work such as shelf-edge, price and return labeling.

According to Zebra, the entire QLn product line will soon offer three new features to provide increased efficiencies and better serve multi-national customers, including:

• Zebra Global Printing Solution makes the QLn mobile printers able to offer right-to-left printing capabilities, giving companies around the world the option to print in many languages.
• Zebra Basic Interpreter, a programming language, allows the QLn products to support stand-alone applications and connect to peripheral devices.
• Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) brings Zebra’s best-selling mobile printer family up-to-date with table-top printer code bases, offering users the option to upgrade remotely to future ZPL versions and integrate the printer with existing applications. 

‘With the inclusion of the ZPL and Unicode features, we will address the needs not only of our increasingly global customer base, but also the pain points of those customers who operate globally and want to deploy a unified solution across geographies,’ said Kevin Davies, product manager, Zebra Technologies EMEA. 

The QLn family offers an Ethernet connection while docked into the new single- or quad-cradle accessory, providing the ability to remotely manage the printer and diagnose faults.

‘We will continue to provide the most innovative features necessary to meet the changing needs of our customer base,’ continued Davies. ‘For example, later in 2012, the QLn will offer new wireless radio technology, 802.11n, increasing overall efficiency and productivity for our customers.’
