Key Advantages

The Zebra ZD500 is highly versatile, supporting both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing which broadens its application scope. Its 6 ips print speed allows for efficient printing in busy office environments. The multiple connectivity options ensure easy integration into diverse IT infrastructures. The device is compact with a user-friendly interface, making it suitable for space-constrained offices. It supports a wide range of media types and sizes for flexible label printing requirements. The inclusion of Zebra's Link-OS provides advanced remote management features enhancing operational efficiency.

Limitations

The Zebra ZD500 print resolution is limited to 203 dpi, which may not be sufficient for applications requiring highly detailed graphics or very small text. Its maximum print width of 104 mm restricts it from printing larger format media. The printer does not inherently support wireless connectivity such as Wi-Fi without additional accessories. It is primarily designed for mid-volume printing, so may not be optimal for very high-volume industrial applications. Compatibility with certain niche label types or materials might be limited. The device requires periodic consumables replacement like ribbons and media which could increase operational costs over time.
