About the Zebra ZE511

The Zebra ZE511 is a 4-inch print engine, a printing unit made to be built into print and apply labelling systems on production and packing lines. It prints by thermal transfer or direct thermal at 203 dpi, with 300 dpi and 600 dpi options, and comes in right-hand and left-hand versions to suit the direction of the line. It suits packaging, warehouse and manufacturing lines automating carton and product labels.

It prints up to 18 ips at 203 dpi in direct thermal mode (14 ips in thermal transfer), has a 4.3-inch colour touch screen that can be mounted up to two metres away, and a fanless enclosure that resists dust and water splashes. RFID encoding can be added in the field. Its 6-inch sibling is the ZE521, and the TSC PEX-2240L/R on our site is another 4-inch print engine.
