Mobile printers for labeling and printing on the go

These are compact, battery-powered printers that go along with the operator on deliveries, order picking or in-store service. The collection includes the Zebra ZQ220 Plus, ZQ310 Plus and ZQ630 Plus, with variants featuring Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC or RFID, and the 3-inch Honeywell LNX3 with NFC, Bluetooth 5.0 and WLAN.

The catalog is rounded out with accessories for the ZQ300, ZQ500 and ZQ600 series: spare batteries, soft cases, shoulder straps, vehicle mounts, multi-slot charging cradles, communication stations with Ethernet, USB cables and battery eliminators.

What to look at before deciding

  • Paper width: the smallest models print receipts and narrow labels; the 3- and 4-inch ones suit logistics labels and larger receipts.
  • Direct thermal: most mobile printers print on thermal paper without a ribbon, which simplifies loading and maintenance; keep in mind that the output degrades with heat and strong light.
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth for pairing with a PDA or a phone, Wi-Fi to integrate it into the network, NFC for quick pairing and USB for configuring and charging.
  • Battery life: estimate the labels per shift and consider a second battery or a charging cradle.
  • Ruggedness: if it is used outdoors or in a vehicle, look for resistance to drops, dust and splashes.
  • Printing language: confirm it is compatible with your application’s, for example ZPL or CPCL.

Sectors and applications

They are used in delivery and last mile, sales routes, inventory, warehousing, maintenance and retail, both for labeling shelves and parcels and for handing a customer a receipt or delivery note on the spot. They are also common in hospitality and among field teams working far from an office.
