Key Advantages

The Zebra QLn220 offers excellent portability with a lightweight and ergonomic design for ease of use during mobile operations. Its Bluetooth connectivity ensures seamless integration with various handheld devices without the clutter of cables. The printer's long-lasting battery life facilitates extended use throughout shifts, minimizing downtime. It supports a wide range of media types and sizes, providing flexibility across different printing needs. The rugged construction protects against drops and spills, enhancing reliability in busy healthcare environments. Additionally, it offers quick and easy media loading with the clamshell design, simplifying maintenance and operation.

Limitations

One limitation of the QLn220 is its relatively low print resolution (203 dpi), which may not suit applications requiring high-detail printing. The printer only supports direct thermal media, which can be sensitive to heat and light, potentially impacting label longevity. Its Bluetooth-only connectivity might restrict integration options for users needing Wi-Fi or wired connections. The maximum print width of 2.2 inches limits its use for larger labels or documents. Replacement parts and accessories may be costly and less readily available as the model is older. Despite its ruggedness, the printer is still susceptible to damage if dropped from significant heights or exposed to extreme environmental conditions.
