Zebra ZE500R RFID Print Engine

Innovative Design, Greater Benefits

The new ZE500™ Series takes an innovative approach to OEM print engines. Leveraging extensive customer research, the design focuses on ease of use, ease of service and ease of integration. Built with the customer in mind, the ZE500 print engine is designed to keep mission-critical print-and apply applications operating without interruptions.

The elegant design of the ZE500 simplifies maintenance and dramatically reduces downtime. All three rollers can be exchanged in minutes, with no need to access the printer’s electronics. The wide open printhead makes cleaning and replacement simple, and the quick-change modular drive system reduces printer repair time. Expanded RFID features deliver greater tracking capabilities for improved operational efficiency.

Routine operations such as ribbon replacement are simple and straightforward (and identical for both print widths). The new graphical LCD display can be detached from the unit and positioned as suited for the application for improved ease of use. The user experience is much improved: the design enables easy integration with print-and-apply machinery plus has better resistance to dust and water. Expanded connectivity ports and enhanced software control of the applicator port provides further integration flexibility.
