DON'T COMPROMISE – DRIVE PERFORMANCE
Your equipment must stand up to the 24/7/365 test, without interruption. But, you need more than durability. These purpose-built essential workers deliver it all: all-metal construction for years of constant use, fanless encased design that resists debris and water ingress, optional RFID, as well as advanced intelligence and best-in-class features. Go ahead. Push the limits. A Zebra print engine won’t let you down.

INTELLIGENT AND EASY TO USE
Featuring Zebra's Print DNA software suite, the ZE511 and ZE521 are easy to setup, manage, maintain and secure – onsite or remotely. Access wizards, change settings and see printer status at a glance via the large, full-color touch screen. Add field-installable RFID encoding and connectivity when needed. And, be ready for tomorrow’s technology with evolving capabilities.

SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN AND SERVICE
You can't afford print-and-apply line downtime. Troubleshoot remotely and prevent unexpected interruptions with the ZE511's and ZE521's onboard analytics to predict and schedule maintenance. Access internal components easily with more interior workspace. Swap out the modular drive for servicing to keep lines moving. And, change printheads in seconds with the single-socket, quick-tab release.
