										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows about the Zebra Industrial Printer Series, but not everyone knows what makes this series so special.</p>
<p>What does &#8220;industrial printer&#8221; even mean?</p>
<p>Are these printers limited in their use?</p>
<p>Can they only be used in warehouse/industrial applications?</p>
<p>What the heck does &#8220;110Xi4&#8221; even stand for?</p>
<p>Our guide to the Zebra 110Xi4 will break down this printer&#8217;s most important features, along with some popular applications for this printer.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Printer of a Thousand Features</strong></h1>
<p>Like Lon Chaney, the 110Xi4 is The Printer of a Thousand &#8220;Features&#8221;.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4371 aligncenter" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Lon-Chaney-209x300.jpg" alt="guide to the zebra 110xi4" width="209" height="300" srcset="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Lon-Chaney-200x287.jpg 200w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Lon-Chaney-209x300.jpg 209w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Lon-Chaney.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px" /></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a quick look at what these features are.</p>
<p>The Zebra 110Xi4 is one of four printers in the Xi4 Series. The other three printers are as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Zebra 140Xi4 &#8211; 5.04&#8243; print width</strong><br />
<strong>Zebra 170Xi4 &#8211; 6.6&#8243; print width</strong><br />
<strong>Zebra 220Xi4 &#8211; 8.5&#8243; print width</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As you can see, each of these printers features a different maximum print width.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The 110Xi4 features a maximum print width of 4.09&#8243;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This means that you can use the 110Xi4 to print shipping labels, asset-tags, and other standard sized labels.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One of the 110Xi4&#8217;s best features is it&#8217;s fast print speed; the 110Xi4 has a maximum print speed of 14 IPS, or 14 inches per second.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Multiple interface options are another strong point of the 110Xi4. This printer is available with the following interface options:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>USB</strong><br />
<strong>Serial</strong><br />
<strong>Parallel</strong><br />
<strong>Bluetooth</strong><br />
<strong>Ethernet</strong><br />
<strong>Wifi (802.11 b/g)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A large variety of interface options means that you can easily integrate this printer into your workplace.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Print resolution is an important factor when selecting a printer. The 110Xi4 has you covered with three different print resolutions:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>203 dpi</strong><br />
<strong>300 dpi</strong><br />
<strong>600 dpi</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">PLS recommends that you use higher dpi resolutions for smaller labels and high-definition barcodes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Like all Zebra Industrial Printers, the 110Xi4 features the following printing modes:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Direct Thermal</strong><br />
<strong>Thermal Transfer </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also, all 110Xi4 printers are manufactured to be &#8220;RFID Ready&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This means that you&#8217;ll have the option to add an RFID Encoder to the printer, which will allow you to encode and print your own RFID labels and tags.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The RFID Encoder is sold as a separate accessory to the 110Xi4.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra does offer the R110Xi4, which comes with an RFID Encoder installed into the body of the printer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Let&#8217;s not forget the other accessories that can be installed onto the 110Xi4: a Label Cutter and a Rewinder with a peeler.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">These options can be purchased with your 110Xi4, or you can purchase them later on and install them yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Remember the best label rewinder for large-scale printing applications is available <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product/ad1211-s0-label-rewinder/" target="_blank">here</a>, from PLS.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Best Printer for Printing Narrow Labels</strong></h1>
<p>No one thinks about media drift until it happens to them.</p>
<p>What exactly is media drift?</p>
<p>Media drift is when a label drifts to one side while passing through the printhead. The end result is a label with a misprinted image.</p>
<p>Media drift is VERY common when you are printing onto narrow labels. Some examples of a narrow label include .50 inches, .75 inches, or even 1 inch.</p>
<p>Zebra printers all have media guides built into the printer, but most guides are better suited for standard label sizes, like a 4&#8243; x 6&#8243; label. Diagnosing a printing problem caused by media drift can be one of the most FRUSTRATING situations you&#8217;ll ever encounter.</p>
<p>This is where the 110Xi4, and the entire Xi4 Series, really shines.</p>
<p>The Zebra 110Xi4 has an additional media guide built into it&#8217;s body, which allows you to easily print onto narrow labels without any problems.</p>
<p>The 110Xi4&#8217;s ability to handle narrow media, combined with an optional high-definition 600 dpi printhead, makes it the perfect printer for manufacturing/laboratory/technological applications.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll never find a better printer to print circuit board or specimen labels.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A Workhorse of a Printer for High-Volume Printing</strong></h1>
<p>The Zebra 110Xi4 is a workhorse of a printer, end of story.</p>
<p>Zebra Xi4 Series printers are legendary for their durability, outstanding print quality, fast throughput, long life and unparalleled reliability in demanding applications.</p>
<p>These qualities translate into low total cost of ownership<b>,</b> making them an ideal smart investment for businesses with high-volume, mission-critical and specialty labeling applications.</p>
<p>Xi4 models with 14”/356 mm-per-second print speeds provide one of the fastest technologies on the market, improving productivity in batch printing and print-and-apply lines.</p>
<p>A durable metal printhead mechanism delivers outstanding print quality over the long run, reducing or eliminating downtime for printhead replacement.</p>
<p>The long-proven Xi series platform is designed and built to work nonstop, all day, every day.</p>
<p>Quickly identify and resolve printer issues with early warning systems that indicate when to service the printhead and change ribbons/media, and with remote printer management/monitoring.</p>
<p>In life, you get what you pay for. If you pay a low price for a low-volume printer, then you&#8217;ll be restricting your workplace productivity, as well as exposing yourself to unexpected downtime when your printer breaks.</p>
<p>The 110Xi4 is an enterprise-class industrial printer, perfect for a variety of printing applications.</p>
<p>If your application requires a heavy amount of printing, then consider spending extra funds on an Xi4 Series industrial printer.</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Contact PLS for Information on the 110Xi4</h1>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What exactly is the AD1211-S0?</p>
<p>The answer is simple: The AD1211-S0 is the BEST label rewinder that&#8217;s available for sale to the public.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take our word for it.</p>
<p>This post will explain in easy-to-understand terms why the AD1211-S0 label rewinder can save you time and money.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The AD1211-S0 is the BEST Label Rewinder </strong></h2>
<p>Finding a good label rewinder is tough.</p>
<p>The market is currently flooded with a variety of different models of rewinders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>Some rewinders are very simple, that is to say that their only function is to rewind labels as they are being printed.</p>
<p>Other rewinders are complex and difficult to use; these units may have a variety of accessories and features that get in your way.</p>
<p>At PLS, we believe that the AD1211-S0 is the BEST label rewinder on the market.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>It&#8217;s an Easy-to-Use Label Rewinder</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">One of the strong points of the AD1211-S0 is it&#8217;s easy-to-use interface.</p>
<div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-1 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-0 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy">
<div id="attachment_3548" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3548" class="wp-image-3548 size-medium" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-300x225.jpg" alt="AD1211-S0" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-500x375.jpg 500w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-700x525.jpg 700w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13902190_10154448338264216_1663779054_o.jpg 1136w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3548" class="wp-caption-text">The control panel/user interface for the AD1211-S0</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Many label rewinders do not offer any speed settings; you simply start your rewinder and hope for the best.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The AD1211-S0 features a knob that adjusts your rewind speed. You can rewind as slow as 2 IPS, or speed it up to 12 IPS. Simply turning the knob to the left or right will speed up or slow down your rewinder.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The AD1211-S0 also features an unwinder. A label &#8220;unwinder&#8221; is essentially the opposite of a rewinder. You can unwind labels from their core at a variety of difference speeds.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Adjustable Core Holder</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">The AD1211-S0 has an adjustable core holder. Simply twist the knob on the back of the roll holder, and physically move the roll holder to whatever size suits your media.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This is an important feature, as many older label rewinders are built to be used with one size of media core.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here is a great <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04P8VzYs5ho" target="_blank">video </a>from DPR Labeling that will show you how to adjust the core size, as well as how to begin rewinding labels.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here are some specs for the AD1211:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Can accommodate media cores from 1.57&#8243;, all the way up to 4.64&#8243;.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Can accommodate media with an outer diameter of 10&#8243;, and a width of 5&#8243;.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Tension Arm for Steady Rewinding Action</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Our favorite feature of the AD1211-S0 is the adjustable tension arm.</p>
<div class="fusion-clearfix"></div></div></div><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy">
<div id="attachment_3550" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3550" class="wp-image-3550 size-medium" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-300x225.jpg" alt="AD1211-S0" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-500x375.jpg 500w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-700x525.jpg 700w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/13898520_10154448338439216_215933059_o.jpg 1136w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3550" class="wp-caption-text">The adjustable tension arm</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">This tension arm ensures that your media rewinds at a steady, consistent pace.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Pull the tension arm up to increase the rewind speed, or drop the arm to stop rewinding altogether.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A tension arm is a true necessity for a label rewinder; without a tension arm, your rewinder will simply rewind at one speed. This will result in sloppy, loose-looking media.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>It&#8217;s Tough as Nails</strong></h2>

<p style="text-align: left;">In all honesty, this label rewinder is NOT the cheapest unit available.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">That doesn&#8217;t matter. The AD1211-S0 will last MUCH longer than anything the competition can offer you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A label rewinder with a long lifespan will increase your productivity, as well as your profitability.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s no secret. Printing wristbands can be a tough, frustrating job.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve written an informative <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/understanding-zebra-wristband-solutions/" target="_blank">post </a>on Zebra wristband solutions, which outlines some of the basic strategies and tips that you can use to print perfect wristbands every time.</p>
<p>Our blog post did not offer too much information on the best printers to use for printing on wristbands.</p>
<p>The Zebra HC100 Wristband Printer is the <strong>ONLY</strong> printer available that is specifically designed for printing on wristbands.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the HC100&#8217;s specs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Zebra HC100 Wristband Printer offers three different print widths: .75&#8243;, 1&#8243;, and 1.1875&#8243;.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The HC100 offers 300 dpi images, which allows end users to create smaller, more defined barcodes. </strong></li>
<li><strong>The outer shell of the HC100 is covered in a medical grade plastic. This allows end users to properly disinfect the entire printer without causing any damage. </strong></li>
<li><strong>Wristbands can be printed at two different speeds: 2 IPS and 4 IPS.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Available with USB/Serial/Ethernet/Wifi interface options.  </strong></li>

<p>The Zebra HC100 Wristband Printer offers a new type of media loading system.</p>
<p>Wristbands will typically be loaded onto either a 1&#8243; core or a 3&#8243; core, depending on the type of printer that is being used.</p>
<p>With the HC100, wristbands are purchased pre-loaded into recyclable cartridges.</p>
<p>The end user then loads these cartridges directly into the printer, without ever having to touch the actual media.</p>
<p>This cartridge-based system allows the printer to effortlessly calibrate the wristbands, resulting in a perfect print, every time.</p>
<p>There are also a variety of different types of wristbands available in cartridges for the HC100.</p>
<p>Choose from child and adult sizes, different colors, and even softer materials like the Zebra Comfort Wristband.</p>
<p><strong>Remember, there are currently no thermal transfer wristband options available.</strong></p>
<p><strong>ALL</strong> wristbands are manufactured with direct thermal coating, which means you&#8217;ll have to use a direct thermal printer.</p>
<p>Find out the difference between thermal transfer and direct thermal printing <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/resource-library/getting-started/direct-thermal-thermal-transfer/direct-thermal-faq.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Print Wristbands On-Demand</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra HC100 Wristband Printer is specifically designed for printing wristbands when you need them.</p>
<p>This means that you will only be printing out a few wristbands at a time.</p>
<p><strong>Please note that the HC100 is NOT well-suited for large-scale printing applications.</strong></p>
<p>The direct thermal printhead on the HC100 will overheat, which in turn will pause your printing for at least a few minutes.</p>
<p>There are other Zebra printers that are better suited for large scale wristband printing applications, like the ZT200 series, or even the Xi Series.</p>
<p>Use the Zebra HC100 Wristband Printer for &#8220;on-demand&#8221; printing applications. Save the large scale projects for the big boys&#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world of Zebra Desktop Printers is enormous.</p>
<p>Researching and purchasing new hardware can be stressful for many end users.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s one of the reasons that we like to create specialized content to help you make the best purchasing decisions possible.</p>
<p>This Guide to Zebra Desktop Printers is full of easy-to-understand information and specifications on all of the different printer models that are currently available.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s get started&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Guide to Zebra Desktop Printers </strong></h2>
<p>There are three families of Zebra Printers. They are as follows:</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mobile Printers</strong><br />
<strong>Desktop Printers</strong><br />
<strong>Industrial Printers </strong></h2>
<p>Each family of printers is made up of several different printer models.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at each tier of hardware that makes up the family of Zebra Desktop Printers.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Zebra Performance Desktop “GX” Series </strong></h2>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What are Zebra Wristband Solutions? </strong></h2>
<p>The world of Zebra Wristband Solutions is large and complex.</p>
<p>What type of wristband will work best for your application?</p>
<p>Will you need to purchase a separate printer?</p>
<p>Is it possible to print with different colors on a wristband?</p>
<p>Are there wristbands that are manufactured from eco-friendly materials?</p>
<p>The questions are never ending.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important to receive the correct, most up-to-date information regarding Zebra Wristband Solutions.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with a few pieces of crucial information:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><strong>You can only print on Zebra wristbands using a direct thermal printer.</strong></h3>
</li>
<li>
<h3><strong>Zebra wristbands are only available as direct thermal media. </strong></h3>
</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">
<h3><strong>There are very limited options to print on wristbands using thermal transfer printing technology.</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This means that your wristband printer choices are limited. You will need to pick a printer with direct thermal printing capabilities. Also, you will need to make sure that your wristbands have the correct core size and outer diameter settings for your printer choice.</p>
<p><em>Click <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/resource-library/getting-started/direct-thermal-thermal-transfer/direct-thermal-faq.html" target="_blank">here </a>to find out information on the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing. </em></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s move on to the list of printers that you can use for printing on Zebra wristbands.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Zebra Wristband Printers</strong></h2>
<p>There are a variety of different Zebra printers that can print onto Zebra wristbands.</p>
<p>Some Zebra printers are specifically designed to print solely on wristbands. Other printers can print on a variety of different types of media, including wristbands.</p>
<p>Here are some of the best printer options for printing onto Zebra wristbands:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Zebra HC100 Printer</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Zebra<a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/desktop/cartridge-based-wristband-printers.html" target="_blank"> HC100 </a>was specifically designed to print onto Zebra wristbands.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The HC100 is a cartridge-based wristband printer. This means that the wristbands must be manufactured into a cartridge, as opposed to being loaded onto a paper core.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The HC100 can only use wristbands that have been loaded into a cartridge. The easy to load features of the HC100 require minimal, if any, user action, whilst its smart technology senses the wristband type and auto-calibrates the settings for optimized print quality and reduced waste.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There is minimal training required to use the HC100 printer or to load or switch the cartridge; it’s a quick and simple task.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Cartridge-based wristband printers are easy to load, and they have no problems with media drift or calibration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In addition, the HC100 offers printing at 300 dpi.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The HC100 only offers direct thermal printing capabilities. Also, there are a variety of different wristband colors and designs that are available as stock options.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The one drawback of the HC100 is it&#8217;s printing speed. The HC100 is best suited for printing wristbands on the fly; that is, you print the wristband when you need it. This makes the HC100 an ideal printer for healthcare and entertainment applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The HC100 does not work well for large volume wristband printing. The typical print speed of 6 ips will slow you down.</p>
<p>Zebra has a few alternatives if you need a wristband printer for large-scale projects.</p>

<p>Remember that Zebra desktop printers have different media requirements than a cartridge-based wristband printer.</p>
<p>Wristbands for Zebra desktop printers will need to be ordered on a 1&#8243; core, with a 5&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<p>Also, you may need to purchase a media guide adapter for your Zebra desktop printer.</p>
<p>Here is some more <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/desktop.html" target="_blank">information </a>on Zebra Desktop Printers.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Wristband Materials</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are a huge variety of Zebra wristband materials to choose from, including materials suited for healthcare/hospital applications, to waterproof materials suited for rugged outdoor applications.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here are some of the most popular Zebra wristband materials:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Zebra Z-Band wristbands are manufactured from 100% polypropylene. These wristbands are available in several different colors as a stock option, and can be ordered in a cartridge for the HC100, or on a 1&#8243; or 3&#8243; core for Zebra Desktop and Industrial Printers. The Z-Band wristband does offer some resistance to outdoor elements like dirt, water, and sweat. There are a few different types of Z-Band wristbands, like the Ultrasoft, Direct, Infant Soft, QuickClip, and Fusion.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Don Johnson has a problem.</p>
<p>His company, <a href="http://robocop.wikia.com/wiki/Omni_Consumer_Products" target="_blank">Omni Consumer Products</a>, is in need of a special solution.</p>
<p>This solution requires custom thermal transfer labels that can withstand extreme environments like heat, water, and gunpowder. The R &amp; D team at Omni Consumer Products will be using these labels to test a new type of cybernetic law enforcement prototype.</p>
<p>Don has his job cut out for him.</p>
<p>A solution for this type of application is difficult to find. These labels will have to be printed on the fly, which means they will be printed from a Mobile Printer.</p>
<p>This presents another problem: Where does one find a Mobile Printer that can print <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/resource-library/getting-started/direct-thermal-thermal-transfer/direct-thermal-faq.html" target="_blank">thermal transfer</a> labels?</p>
<p>Is there any way that a Mobile Printer can print direct thermal labels instead? This will eliminate the use of a ribbon.</p>
<p>Don has to act quickly. His boss, Dick Jones, has been nagging him to generate results. Don&#8217;s job and his livelihood are on the line!</p>
<p>So Don does what anyone else in his shoes would do: he looks on Amazon to see if he can find a cheap solution for his application.</p>
<p>What are the results?</p>
<p>Don finds a handful of mobile printers that he THINKS will work for this application, but he has no one he can physically talk to. Amazon is a HUGE, multi-national company. He needs answers NOW, not in a week or two.</p>
<p>Don then visits a few other popular e-commerce sites. The situation is the same. Lots of maybes, but no definite answers.</p>
<p>Time is running short. Deadlines are looming. Don begins to dread the future.</p>
<p>What can Don do to fix his solution? Omni Consumer Products is going to cash him out if he can&#8217;t produce!</p>
<div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-16 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy">
<div id="attachment_3407" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3407" class="size-medium wp-image-3407" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/don-johnson-300x225.jpg" alt="PLS" width="300" height="225" /><p id="caption-attachment-3407" class="wp-caption-text">Don&#8217;t be a Don Johnson.</p></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What Does PLS Do?</strong><br />
<strong> PLS Provides Solutions for a Variety of Applications.</strong></h2>
<p>If Don had contacted PLS right away, he would have already had a solution in place.</p>
<p>He would have discovered that there is a new, heat-resistant direct thermal label called the <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/introducing_zebra_thermalock_labels/" target="_blank">Zebra ThermaLock 4000D</a>.</p>
<p>He would have discovered that the Zebra ThermaLock 4000D is a custom label material, that can be manufactured in a variety of sizes.</p>
<p>And he would have discovered that he can print heat-resistant direct thermal labels from a mobile printer.</p>
<p>These important factors would have saved his company, Omni Consumer Products, a huge amount of money and time. His boss, Dick Jones, would have promoted him!</p>
<p>Instead, Don squandered his time on Amazon, and bought the wrong type of printer. Now Bob Morton gets the promotion&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Simply put, PLS provides solutions for a variety of printing applications. </strong></p>
<p>These solutions come in the form of printers, printer media, software, accessories, and service.</p>
<p>Here are some blog posts that help to better explain some of our solutions, including <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/what_is_custom_printer_media/" target="_blank">custom printer media</a> and <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/what_are_zebra_printer_accessories_/" target="_blank">printer accessories</a>.</p>
<p>PLS specializes in printing applications from a huge variety of fields, including Retail/POS, ERP/AIDC, Healthcare, Mobility, Warehouse/Shipping/Logistics, and Government/Public Sector.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Why Not Buy Directly from the Manufacturer?</strong></h2>
<p>There is a simple answer to this question.</p>
<p>The manufacturer is a just that, a manufacturer.</p>
<p>The job of the manufacturer is to test and create solutions, not to sell them. In the case of <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en.html" target="_blank">Zebra Technologies</a>, they rely on an organized network of Authorized Partners to provide solutions to the customer.</p>
<p>A partner, or reseller, receives regular training and information on new and old solutions. This allows resellers to provide a customer with all of the necessary information to make the best buying decision.</p>
<p>PLS is an Authorized Reseller of Zebra printers, printer media, software, and accessories. We also offer a huge variety of products and accessories from brands like <a href="https://www.datamax-oneil.com/do/com/EN-US/index.cfm" target="_blank">Datamax-O&#8217;Neil</a>, <a href="https://www.satoamerica.com/" target="_blank">SATO</a>, <a href="http://www.brother-usa.com/printer/" target="_blank">Brother</a>, <a href="https://www.honeywellaidc.com/en-us/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Honeywell</a>, and <a href="http://www.intermec.com/" target="_blank">Intermec</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Get Information, Consultation, and the Best Customer Service from PLS.</strong></h2>
<p>It&#8217;s a proven fact that buying from a reseller can provide you, the customer, with a multitude of benefits.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve already written about the benefits of buying from a reseller. Check out our blog post<a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/3_reasons_to_buy_from_a_reseller/" target="_blank"> here</a>.</p>
<p>Are you like our friend Don Johnson? Maybe you have some questions or concerns that you would like to have addressed?</p>
<p>PLS has got you covered. To put it bluntly, we&#8217;re obsessed with our industry and our desire to put the customer first.</p>
<p>Ask us any question you may have. We&#8217;ll give you an answer, and help you to keep your project moving forward.</p>
<p>Are you having problems implementing your solution? Maybe you need demo printers or label samples?</p>
<p>Since we&#8217;re an Authorized Reseller, we can offer customers support, samples, and prices that are NOT available on websites like Amazon, Newegg, eBay, etc.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Zebra QLn Series of Mobile Printers will change the way you do business.</p>
<p>This series of mobile printers is the latest incarnation of the Zebra &#8220;QL&#8221; Series.</p>
<p>The last series of QL Mobile Printers, the<a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/mobile/ql-420-plus.html" target="_blank"> QL Plus Series</a>, provided excellent and reliable service at the time of their release. As is the case with most technology, a more efficient, user-friendly alternative has been released.</p>
<p>Zebra’s popular QL family of direct thermal mobile label printers has built a highly satisfied following based upon its proven drop-resistant durability, productivity-boosting features, and easy integration.</p>
<p>The QLn Series is the third generation of QL Printers.</p>
<p>So what on earth makes the Zebra QLn Series of Mobile Printers so special?</p>

<p>Other features such as Zebra Global Printing and improved network performance, including 802.11n wireless LAN capability for more robust and reliable connectivity and throughput, also make integration easier.</p>
<p>Manage all aspects of your networked Link-OS printers from just one screen with Profile Manager. There&#8217;s no need to switch between applications to get the job done, and you can manage the simple admin console remotely on your PC, tablet or smartphone.</p>

<p>The Zebra QLn Series offers a huge variety of interface options, with faster data transfer rates and greater range.</p>
<p>This series of printers incorporates WLAN (802.11 a/b/g/n dual band) and Bluetooth 3.0, and Near Field Communication (NFC) for Print Touch features, for easy pairing or linking to help pages.</p>
<p>To meet the increasing demand for mobile printing from different operating systems, the Zebra QLn Series is &#8220;Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad&#8221; certified and can also support Android and Windows devices via the Zebra Multiplatform SDK app.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pick from a Variety Print Sizes</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">It can be difficult to find consistent information on Zebra printers. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve written out the exact differences between each of the different printers in the Zebra QLn Series.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Zebra QLn Series offers three different models: the QLn220, the QLn320, and the QLn420.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printers/mobile-printers/zebra_qln220/" target="_blank">QLn220</a> offers a 2&#8243; print width, with 203 dpi images, and a print speed of up to 4 inches per second. The media specs for this printer are a .75&#8243; core, with a 2.2&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printers/mobile-printers/zebra_qln320/" target="_blank">QLn320</a> offers a 3&#8243; print width, with 203 dpi images, and a print speed of up to 4 inches per second. The media specs for this printer are a .75&#8243; core, with a 2.6&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printers/mobile-printers/zebra_qln420/" target="_blank">QLn420 </a>offers a 4&#8243; print width, with 203 dpi images, and a print speed of up to 4 inches. The media specs for this printer are a .75&#8243; core, with a 2.6&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Make sure that you select the correct model of printer when you are making your order.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Zebra QLn Series Healthcare Printers</strong></h2>
<p>The QLn Series is also available in Healthcare models.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All Healthcare models of QLn Series Printers are manufactured with a durable, disinfectant-ready medical grade plastic outer shell. This allows the printer to be wiped down and disinfected in a hospital or medical environment.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Zebra QLn Series Healthcare Printers are a part of a comprehensive mobile specimen collection solution that improves patient safety by bringing specimen ID applications right to the bedside.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Patient samples can be instantly identified every time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra’s QLn Series Healthcare printers are small and light enough to be easily carried on a belt clip or trolley and deliver labels at the point of care. This saves time and money and improves the patient experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Also, the charger for the QLn Healthcare Series is powered by a medical grade power supply that provides another level of safety for both patients and clinicians.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here are the cleaning agent ingredients that are safe to use on QLn Healthcare printers:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Isopropyl and Ethyl alcohol (including wipes) </strong></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Ammonium  </strong></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Hydrogen peroxide </strong></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Phosphoric acid </strong></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Bleach/sodium hypochlorite </strong></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Mild dish soap</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Recommended cleaning agents include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Windex Blue (or Isopropyl alcohol-based equivalent) </strong></li>
<li><strong>CaviCide (or Isopropyl and Ethyl alcohol-based equivalent) </strong></li>
<li><strong>Lysol Healthcare (or hydrogen peroxide-based equivalent) </strong></li>
<li><strong>Wescodyne (or phosphoric acid-based equivalent) </strong></li>
<li><strong>409 Glass and Surface Cleaner (or dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride or other ammonium-based equivalent)</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">It is important to note that there are only two models of QLn Series Healthcare Printers: The QLn220 and the QLn320.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The QLn420 is NOT available as a Healthcare Printer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pick from a Huge Selection of Accessories</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra QLn Series offers a huge variety of useful accessories, including charging cradles, AC adapters, straps, cases, and more.</p>
<p>Connect QLn printers to your wired Ethernet network via the QLn Ethernet cradle to enable easy remote management by your IT or operations staff. This helps to ensure each printer is operating optimally and ready for use.</p>
<p>The Ethernet cradle can communicate over 10 mbps or 100 mbps networks using auto-sense. The single-bay QLn Ethernet cradle also charges the battery while it is in the printer, while the 4-bay version (with optional wall mount kit) charges four printers at a time.</p>
<p>The 4-bay version includes an internal Ethernet switch and second Ethernet port, so you can link and manage four 4-bay QLn Ethernet cradles (a total of 16 printers) from one port. The printer remains fully functional so you can print while it is in either cradle.</p>
<p>The cradle’s LED lights indicate DC power and Ethernet-link status.</p>
<p>Connect the AC adapter to your QLn and wall outlet to charge the printer’s smart battery while in the printer. The printer can print labels and perform other functions during charging.</p>
<p>The Zebra Smart Charger will fully charge a single standalone QLn smart battery in less than four hours.</p>
<p>In addition to indicating battery-charge status, it leverages the battery’s smart design to indicate battery health, allowing you to more accurately manage your spare battery pool. Specifically, LEDs show whether the battery is “good,” has a “diminished capacity,” is “past useful life” or is “unusable” and should be replaced.</p>
<p>The Extended Capacity Li-Ion Smart Battery option provides twice the battery capacity over the standard smart battery, providing double the power for increased uptime.</p>
<p>There is no need to upgrade your existing QLn printer; you can purchase an Extended Capacity Li-Ion Battery as a standalone accessory to use with your current QLn Series printer. Or, order it as a configurable printer option so your printer ships ready to go with this powerful accessory.</p>
<p>The Zebra Quad Battery Charger is designed to simultaneously charge up to four QLn smart batteries (removed from the printer) in about three hours.</p>
<p>Lights on the charger indicate when individual batteries are 80 percent charged and when fully charged.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget about the Zebra QLn Series Carrying Case. Add an extra layer of protection for harsh environments with this soft case.</p>
<p>All Zebra QLn Series Printers are IP54-rated for resistance to windblown water and dust, while in a Carrying Case. Each case provides openings for changing the media and batteries, and all connectors are accessible.</p>
<p>Also, each case comes with a carrying strap.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en.html" target="_blank">Zebra Technologies</a> is constantly introducing new, more efficient printers to replace older models.</p>
<p>This is one of many reasons to purchase and use Zebra printers in your workplace or organization. You will always have a top-of-the line product, with the latest technological features.</p>
<p>One of the newest printers to be released by Zebra is the ZQ500 Series.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What is the Zebra ZQ500 Series?</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series are Mobile Printers, made up of two models: the ZQ510 and the ZQ520.</p>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series are a replacement for the older Zebra RW Series, which consisted of two models: the RW220 and the RW420.</p>
<p>The Zebra RW Series Printers were designed for rugged, outdoor printing applications. The body was built from a durable, abrasive-resistant plastic that could withstand the elements, as well as falls and scrapes.</p>
<div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-18 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy">
<div id="attachment_3177" style="width: 268px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3177" class="wp-image-3177 size-medium" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RW42032-258x300.jpg" alt="Zebra ZQ500" width="258" height="300" srcset="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RW42032-258x300.jpg 258w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/RW42032.jpg 412w" sizes="(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3177" class="wp-caption-text">The Zebra RW420</p></div>
<p>The RW Series was officially discontinued on November 30th, 2015. Zebra is offering service and support on the RW Series until December 20th, 2020.</p>
<p>You can find out more information on the RW Series <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/mobile/rw-420.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What Makes the Zebra ZQ500 Series So Special?</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series of Mobile Printers are, simply put, built to last.</p>
<p>Zebra ZQ500 Printers are lightweight, yet engineered to handle the bumps, drops and collisions that are part of the job.</p>
<p>The printers feature a patented military design that meets third-party-verified <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIL-STD-810" target="_blank">MIL-STD 810G</a> military standards for shock, vibration and temperature exposure.</p>
<p>Extreme environments and bangs and bumps are no match for these lightweight, compact printers. Zebra’s ZQ510 and ZQ520 printers are the most rugged printers available; this is one advantage that this series has over the RW Series.</p>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series can perform in the widest operating temperature range in the industry and can withstand repeated drops to concrete from up to 6.6 feet.</p>
<p>In addition, the ZQ500 Series can withstand exposure to water and water spray. These printers have an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code" target="_blank">IP Code</a> rating of IP 54.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Easy to Use, Easy to Integrate </strong></h2>
<p>Featuring Zebra’s Link-OS environment, the Zebra ZQ500 Series of Printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain.</p>
<p>Zebra ZQ500 Printers are designed for intuitive, simple use, from the first shift to the last.</p>
<p>The simplified user interface reduces the amount of accidentally changed printer settings, and the large buttons increase accuracy for gloved hands and fingers.</p>
<p>Intuitive media loading reduces time employees spend changing rolls, and with sleep mode the printer wakes up when a job is sent and conserves battery power when not in use.</p>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Printers are Zebra&#8217;s first products to support a secondary Bluetooth communication channel, an innovative feature that allows one channel to send print jobs to the printer while a second channel performs additional functions such as device management.</p>
<p>These printers also feature &#8220;draft mode&#8221; which optimizes the printing speed (up to 5 inches per minute) for text-only printing.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Increase Your Mobility</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series are Mobile Printers, so it makes sense that using these printers will help to increase your mobility, which in turn increases your productivity.</p>
<p>Zebra ZQ500 accessories are designed to optimize the tight spaces of mobile work environments, such as vehicles, through small footprints and multipurpose use.</p>
<p>With easy and reliable vehicle charging options, employees can grab their device and go.</p>
<p>The battery eliminator enables users to rely solely on vehicle power for fixed in-vehicle applications, erasing the need to replace the battery over the life of the printer.</p>
<p>Zebra ZQ500 Series Printers also offer adapters to attach vehicle cradles to existing e-charge and settlement room brackets.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>ZQ500 Printing Specifications</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series is made up of two printers: the ZQ510 and the ZQ520.</p>
<p>The Zebra ZQ510 features a 3&#8243; print width, with a 203 dpi image, and a variety of interface options.</p>
<p>The Zebra ZQ520 features a 4&#8243; print width, with a 203 dpi image, and a variety of interface options.</p>
<p>Both of these printers are direct thermal only. The ZQ500 Series does NOT offer any thermal transfer printing capabilities.</p>
<p>The ZQ500 Series can handle media with a .75&#8243; core, and a 2.2&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Ultimate Mobile Printer for Rugged Applications</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZQ500 Series are the ultimate family of printers for rugged, outdoor applications.</p>
<p>These printers can take a beating. They can be dropped, splashed with water, exposed to dust and grime, and still print out invoices, bar code labels, and receipts.</p>
<p>You can even cover your printer with a Zebra <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/accessories/printer-print-engine-accessories/covers-and-cases.html" target="_blank">Exoskeleton</a>, which will increase drop resistance to a whopping 12 ft. That&#8217;s right, you can drop this printer from 12 ft, and it will still be working!</p>
<p>Check out our exclusive <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hzEB371VKo" target="_blank">Youtube video</a> on the Zebra ZQ520.</p>
<p>They are easy-to-use, and easy-to-integrate into your operations. The ZQ500 Series is smaller and lighter than the RW Series.</p>
<p>Use the Zebra ZQ500 Series in warehousing, asset tracking, retail, and utility/outdoor applications.</p>
<p>All models of the Zebra <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printers/mobile-printers/zebra_zq510/" target="_blank">ZQ510 </a>and <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printers/mobile-printers/zebra_zq520/" target="_blank">ZQ520</a> are now available for purchase from PLS, at the best prices available.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At PLS, we frequently throw around the term &#8220;Printer Accessories&#8221;.</p>
<p>In fact, our company&#8217;s motto is <strong>&#8220;PLS, Your #1 Source for Printers, Printer Media, Software, &amp; Accessories&#8221;</strong>.</p>
<p>Printer Accessories are a big part of our inventory; more specifically, Zebra Printer Accessories.</p>
<p>But what exactly are <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/accessories.html" target="_blank">Zebra </a>Printer Accessories?</p>
<p>This blog post will break down the different printer accessories available from PLS.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What Are Zebra Printer Accessories?</strong></h2>
<p>A &#8220;Printer Accessory&#8221; is defined as any piece of equipment that can be used in association with a Zebra printer.</p>
<p>Examples of Zebra printer accessories include charging cradles, spare batteries, carrying cases/holsters, USB/Ethernet/Serial cables, mobile printer stands, and printer components like rewinders and dispensers.</p>
<p>Using the proper Zebra printer accessories can help you get maximum use and efficiency from your Zebra printer.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the more popular accessories&#8230;</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Charging Cradles</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Charging cradles are a crucial piece of equipment to include in your printing application. These cradles are typically used to charge the batteries for mobile printers and mobile computers/scanners.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are a few different types of charging cradles available. Some charging cradles can accommodate an entire printer/mobile computer, and some are built to charge a battery only.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Some charging cradles are manufactured by Zebra, and some are manufactured by third parties, like <a href="http://www.portsmith.com/" target="_blank">Portsmith Technologies</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The bottom line is that charging cradles are useful, time-saving devices. We highly recommend that you look into purchasing cradles if you are currently using any type of mobile printer/mobile computer in your printing application.</p>
<div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-19 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy"><div id="attachment_1534" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1534" class="size-medium wp-image-1534" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/PSCMC9100UE-300x300.jpg" alt="zebra printer accessories " width="300" height="300" /><p id="caption-attachment-1534" class="wp-caption-text">A Portsmith Cradle for a Motorola Mobile Computer.</p></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Spare Batteries</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Batteries are another important piece of equipment that cannot be overlooked.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All Zebra mobile printers/mobile computers will need a re-chargeable<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery" target="_blank"> lithium ion</a> battery.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Typically, a lithium ion battery, or a Li-Ion battery, will last for two to three years before losing the ability to hold a charge.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At this point, we recommend that end users look into purchasing replacement batteries for their mobile printer/mobile computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra does manufacturer replacement lithium ion batteries for it&#8217;s entire family of mobile printers/mobile computers. There are also third party manufacturers like <a href="http://www.gtspower.com/" target="_blank">Honeywell/GTS</a> who offer stock lithium ion batteries for Zebra products.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Are you looking to expedite and streamline your business or enterprise? Purchasing spare batteries and charging cradles can help you avoid downtime associated with charging batteries. Having a few extra Li-Ion batteries sitting on a charger will help you to keep your workforce moving forward.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Cables for Various Interface Options </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">A Zebra printer cable will ensure fast and efficient data flow without interruption. This is why it&#8217;s so important to use the proper cables for the correct interface option.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra offers a huge variety of printer interface options for it&#8217;s products, including USB, Ethernet, Serial, and Parallel. Make sure that you have the correct interface for when you are looking to purchase any cables for your application.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Printer Covers and Cases</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Printer covers and cases are one of the most important Zebra printer accessories available.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Quality custom-designed printer case and cover products add an extra layer of protection to your Zebra mobile printers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Weather-resistant, soft and leather printer case products help safeguard your printer investment from harsh natural elements, such as rain and dust. In addition, cases provide a firm grip and access, as well as protection from scratches and dings</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Want a cheap way to extend the life of your mobile printer?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Then look into purchasing a cover or case for your asset.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Carrying Straps</strong></h2>
<p>Carrying straps are especially useful for mobile printing applications. We don&#8217;t recommend that you jimmy-rig a DIY carrying strap; we&#8217;ve seen too many failed straps and broken printers.</p>
<p>Zebra carrying straps help you comfortably carry and protect your mobile printer during transport.</p>
<p>Carrying straps are specially designed for <a title="Mobile" href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/mobile.html">mobile printers</a> and can be worn over the shoulder so your hands are free for other tasks.</p>
<p>Looking for another way to streamline your printing application?</p>
<p>Then consider purchasing carrying straps for your mobile printers/mobile computers.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Media Adapter Guides</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Media adapter guides are often overlooked when it comes to Zebra Printer Accessories.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It can be easy to forget about how important it is to keep your printer media in place.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A media adapter guide helps prevent &#8220;media drift.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra media guide products help your valuable media (labels, tags, wristbands) track through the printer more precisely and are expressly designed for a variety of Zebra high-performance and mid-range printers, including the <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/industrial/xi-series.html">140Xi Series</a>, <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/industrial/z-series.html">Z Series</a>, <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/printers/print-engines/pax.html">PAX OEM print engines</a>, and many more.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In addition, Zebra edge guides work with <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/accessories/printer-print-engine-accessories/snap-plates.html">snap plates</a> to ensure proper media alignment.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Label Rewinders</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Does your printing application involve a large volume of labels? Will you need to print variable information on each label?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t rewind your labels by hand.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra offers the perfect solution for this application: a label rewinder.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra Label rewinders help you with pre-printing tasks. The J-hook label rewinder design is ideal for print jobs with minor differences from label to label, such as prices or part numbers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Label rewinders also allow you to pre-print <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/supplies/labels-tags.html">labels</a> with static information first. After a fast, secure and tight rewind, a second run of variable data through the printer completes the job.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Direct Thermal Printheads </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Direct thermal printheads do not last forever.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">At some point, the printhead will fail.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This means that you will need to replace the failed printhead with a new functioning printhead.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra printhead replacement products deliver quality, reliability and performance. The printhead is a vital printer component that creates the image on the face of the media.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Worn or damaged printheads should be replaced immediately. Every Zebra printhead is easy to install, and made to exacting engineering standards for continued reliability and performance from your printer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Roll Holders</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Did you know that Zebra Kiosk Printers need a roll holder to print properly?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A roll holder provides convenient and trouble-free feeding of media to your Zebra printer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Optional roll holder and spindle products are available for media of many different sizes, with several holder location choices.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Expressly designed for compatible Zebra kiosk models, roll holders provide a stable, accurate and reliable guide for feeding continuous roll media into your printer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t forget to order a roll holder for your Zebra Kiosk Printer.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Never Overlook the Importance of Zebra Label Accessories</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra Label Accessories will help you to get the most out of your printer/mobile computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t skimp on the printer accessories; your investment will pay for itself in due time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Remember that all of these Zebra Printer Accessories are available for purchase in our PLS <a href="https://blaze.plsusa.com/product-category/printer_accessories/" target="_blank">online store</a>, under the Printer Accessories section.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en.html" target="_blank">Zebra Technologies</a> has listened to customer requests for a user-friendly thermal transfer printer.</p>
<p>What is the result?</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Introducing the Zebra ZD420 Thermal Transfer Printer</strong></h2>
<p>The Zebra ZD420 is an easy-to-use, easy-to-load Thermal Transfer Desktop Label Printer. This piece of hardware is essentially an improved version of the Zebra Desktop Printer line. An example of one of these printers is the <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/desktop/gx420t.html" target="_blank">GX420T</a>.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>What Makes the Zebra ZD420 So Special?</strong></h3>
<p>The ZD420 has one enormous advantage over every other Zebra Thermal Transfer Desktop Printer: an easy-to-load Ribbon Cartridge.</p>
<p>Typically a thermal transfer ribbon would be on a roll, and that roll would have to be manually installed into a Thermal Transfer Printer.</p>
<p><em><strong>This process can take up to a minute, and it can be messy and difficult to accomplish in the correct manner. </strong></em></p>
<p>The Zebra ZD420 replaces this time-consuming process with a much easier-to-load Ribbon Cartridge.</p>
<p>Check out our Youtube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPv9b2PC370" target="_blank">video </a>on the Zebra ZD420, which features a quick demonstration of the media loading process.</p>
<div class="fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-8 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling" style="--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;" ><div class="fusion-builder-row fusion-row"><div class="fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-22 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height" style="--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;"><div class="fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy">
<div id="attachment_3282" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3282" class="size-medium wp-image-3282" src="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-300x150.jpg" alt="Zebra ZD420" width="300" height="150" srcset="https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-300x150.jpg 300w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-500x250.jpg 500w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-700x350.jpg 700w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-768x384.jpg 768w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://blaze.plsusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ZD42-NEW.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3282" class="wp-caption-text">Loading the Ribbon is Fool-Proof</p></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Multiple Interface and Connectivity Options</strong></h3>
<p>The Zebra ZD420 offers a HUGE variety of interface and connectivity options.</p>
<p>With virtually every modern wired and wireless connectivity option and support for many printer languages, deployment is always fast and easy: just unplug your existing printer, plug in the ZD420 and you’re back up and running.</p>
<p>Add new connectivity and media handling options whenever you need them, right on site. Monitor and manage all your ZD420 printers from the cloud, for unsurpassed management simplicity.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Zebra ZD420 can handle all types of printer media.</strong></h3>
<p>For example, the Zebra ZD420 has a moveable media sensor that can accommodate black bar sensor, full width, and gap sensing labels.</p>
<p>This makes switching out labels fast and easy.</p>
<p>The ZD420 also offers Direct Thermal printing capabilities. End users have the option of switching from thermal transfer to direct thermal with a few clicks of a mouse.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Zebra ZD420 is highly adaptable to meet your current and future needs.</strong></h3>
<p>The Zebra ZD420 can accommodate a variety of different printer media core sizes. The maximum outer diameter for the ZD410 is 5&#8243;, but the core sizes range from the following:</p>
<p><strong>.50&#8243;, .75&#8243;, 1&#8243;, 1.5&#8243;, 2&#8243;, and even 3&#8243; with an optional adapter.</strong></p>
<p>This feature puts the ZD420 at a great advantage over the older line of Zebra Desktop Printers. The GX420T can only handle media with a 1&#8243; core, and a 5&#8243; outer diameter.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Zebra ZD420 is easy to operate and easy to troubleshoot.</strong></h3>
<p>The ZD420 features a simple, user-friendly control panel. There are only five status icons on the printer itself: status, pause, data, supplies, and network.</p>
<p>This allows you to receive updates with a quick glance. These icons will inform you if your printer media is running low, or if you&#8217;ve lost network connection.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Easy to clean and sanitize Healthcare Models are available.</strong></h3>
<p>The ZD420 is available in a Healthcare Model with disinfectant-ready plastics and a sealed button interface that makes it easy to clean and disinfect.</p>
<p>These features are crucial in hospitals and clinics.</p>
<p>The ZD420 also fits easily in space constrained pharmacies, labs and nurses stations. And with its 300 dpi printing option, even the small labels on specimen containers and prescriptions are highly legible</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pick from 203 dpi to 300 dpi.</strong></h3>
<p>The Zebra ZD420 offers two different DPI options: 203 dpi and 300 dpi.</p>
<p>Please keep this in mind when ordering your printer. Make sure that you are picking the correct dpi for your application.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Integrate into your Cloud, and manage from any location.</strong></h3>
<p>The ZD420 supports Zebra&#8217;s <a href="https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/software/barcode-printers/link-os.html" target="_blank">Link-OS</a>, a unique software platform that makes it easy to integrate, manage, and maintain your printers from any location.</p>
<p>Here are some <a href="https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra/product-information/en-us/brochures-datasheets/software/linkos-faq-en.pdf" target="_blank">frequently asked questions</a> regarding Zebra&#8217;s Link-OS platform.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Don&#8217;t confuse the ZD420 with the ZD410.</strong></h3>
<p>Both the Zebra ZD420 and the ZD410 are part of the same series of printers, which is the ZD400 Series.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t confuse the two printers; the ZD420 has a maximum print width of 4 inches, while the ZD410 has a maximum print width of 2.2 inches.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Zebra ZD420 will quickly become one of the best-selling Desktop Label Printers for space-constrained areas, as well as time-sensitive applications. </strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Some suggested applications include retail, healthcare, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, security, and travel/hospitality.</strong></h3>
