Quick answer

Three questions decide it

1. Receipts, or labels on a liner?

The ZQ310 Plus and ZQ320 Plus take receipt paper and linerless labels; a gap sensor is an option. For die-cut labels and tags on a liner, choose the ZQ511 / ZQ521 or the ZQ600 Plus. Both also print receipts.

2. How wide is your receipt or label?

2-inch (48 mm print width): ZQ310 Plus or ZQ610 Plus. 3-inch (72 mm): ZQ320 Plus, ZQ511 or ZQ620 Plus. 4-inch (104 mm): ZQ521 or ZQ630 Plus. A 4 × 6 inch shipping label needs a 4-inch model.

3. How rough is the job?

All three are sealed to IP54. The ZQ300 Plus is tested for 1.5 m drops and the ZQ600 Plus for 1.52 m (1.83 m on the ZQ630 Plus). The ZQ511 and ZQ521 take multiple 2 m drops to concrete, and with the optional exoskeleton 3 m drops and IP65. They also work up to 55 °C, against 50 °C for the other two.

No ribbon on any of them

All three series print direct thermal only. You buy direct thermal paper rolls or labels and nothing else.

Which model for which job

Start from the job your staff do

Direct store delivery invoices and receipts

The ZQ310 Plus and ZQ320 Plus weigh 0.37 kg and 0.43 kg with the battery. In line mode print length has no limit, so a long invoice prints as one strip, and a billing app can add a UPI payment QR. Where printers get dropped, the 3-inch ZQ511 also prints receipts.

What does each step up add?

What each step up adds

ZQ300 Plus or ZQ600 Plus?

Both come in 2- and 3-inch widths. The ZQ600 Plus adds die-cut labels and tags on a liner, peel and present, a colour display, Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.3, a serial port, Ethernet through the cradle, and a 4-inch model. It has a bigger battery (3,250 against 2,280 mAh) and prints a little faster (115 against 100 mm/s). The ZQ300 Plus is much lighter: 0.37 kg against 0.6 kg in 2-inch, 0.43 kg against 0.73 kg in 3-inch. For receipts and linerless labels, the ZQ300 Plus does the job.

ZQ600 Plus or ZQ511 / ZQ521?

The ZQ511 and ZQ521 are built tougher: multiple 2 m drops to concrete, IP65 and 3 m drops with the exoskeleton, and work up to 55 °C. They print up to 127 mm/s in draft mode and take a 6,500 mAh extended battery. The ZQ600 Plus adds a 2-inch model, a colour display and peel and present. Indoors, in a store or warehouse, the ZQ600 Plus fits; outdoors in rain and heat, the ZQ511 / ZQ521.

3-inch or 4-inch?

Go by your widest label. The 3-inch models print 72 mm wide and weigh less. The 4-inch ZQ521 and ZQ630 Plus print 104 mm wide, which fits 4 × 6 inch shipping labels.

For buyers in India

Heat, rain, GST invoices and vehicle power

Hot days: they print, but charge indoors

The ZQ300 Plus and ZQ600 Plus work up to 50 °C and the ZQ511 / ZQ521 up to 55 °C. All three charge only between 0 °C and 40 °C, so charge batteries indoors. Keep direct thermal labels indoors too: Zebra notes they slowly lose legibility in high heat or sunlight.

IP54 or IP65 for rain

All three are IP54, which Zebra suggests for brief, light rain. With the exoskeleton, only the ZQ511 / ZQ521 reach IP65, which Zebra suggests for continuous driving rain.

GST e-invoice and UPI QR codes

All three print QR codes, including the QR on GST e-invoices. A billing app can also print a UPI payment QR on the receipt.

Power in vehicles

The ZQ300 Plus has a cigarette lighter adapter. Zebra lists a 12-24 V DC vehicle power supply for the ZQ511 / ZQ521. The ZQ630 Plus vehicle and forklift cradle needs 15 V to 60 V, so it does not run from a 12 V supply.

Questions buyers ask

Zebra mobile printer questions

What is the price of the Zebra ZQ300 Plus, ZQ511 / ZQ521 and ZQ600 Plus in India?

It depends on the model and width, the wireless version (Bluetooth only or Wi-Fi), extras such as spare batteries, chargers or the exoskeleton, and the quantity. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

Do these printers need a ribbon?

No. All three series print direct thermal only, so you need direct thermal paper rolls or labels and no ribbon. Direct thermal prints slowly fade in high heat or sunlight, so store label stock indoors.

Which one prints labels, and which only receipts?

The ZQ310 Plus and ZQ320 Plus print receipt paper and linerless labels. The ZQ511 / ZQ521 and the ZQ600 Plus print receipts, labels with gaps or black marks, and tags. If you print die-cut labels on a liner, choose one of those two. Send us a sample label with your enquiry.

Will they connect to our Android phone or iPhone billing app?

All three have Bluetooth and work with Android and iOS devices; the ZQ300 Plus and ZQ600 Plus are MFi certified for iOS. All three accept CPCL and ZPL, so check that your app sends one of them. Each series also comes with Wi-Fi as an option. Name your app when you ask for a quote.

Which is the toughest for outdoor work?

The ZQ511 and ZQ521. Zebra rates them for multiple 2 m drops to concrete and 1,300 tumbles from 1 m, and they work from -20 °C to 55 °C. The optional exoskeleton raises this to 3 m drops and IP65. The ZQ300 Plus and ZQ600 Plus are IP54 with drop ratings of 1.5 m to 1.83 m.

Will the battery last a full shift?

Runtime depends on how much you print; Zebra publishes no fixed runtime for the ZQ511 / ZQ521, and the other two pages give battery sizes, not hours. The ZQ300 Plus has 2,280 mAh. The ZQ511 / ZQ521 have 3,250 mAh, or an extended 6,500 mAh. The ZQ610 Plus and ZQ620 Plus have 3,250 mAh with an extended option, and the ZQ630 Plus 6,600 mAh. All are removable, so for long shifts keep a charged spare and swap it during the shift.

Every figure on this page comes from Allmark's published product pages for the Zebra ZQ310 Plus / ZQ320 Plus, ZQ511 / ZQ521 and ZQ600 Plus Series, which were read from Zebra's spec sheets, product pages and, for the ZQ600 Plus, its user guide (each page lists its documents and the date read). The India notes come from the same pages, which cite Zebra.
