Key Advantages
The ZD500R offers a compact yet robust design suitable for space-constrained environments. It features versatile connectivity including USB, serial, and Ethernet ports, allowing for easy integration. The 203 dpi print resolution ensures high-quality barcode and label printing. High print speeds up to 6 ips enhance operational efficiency in fast-paced environments. Its rugged construction is built to withstand typical industrial and retail use. The printer supports a variety of media types, improving flexibility and usability for diverse applications.
Limitations
The Zebra ZD500R is a direct thermal printer, which limits label longevity compared to thermal transfer printers due to heat sensitivity. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth standard, potentially restricting mobile or remote printing capabilities. The maximum print speed of 6 inches per second may not meet extremely high throughput requirements. Media roll capacity is relatively small compared to larger industrial printers, requiring more frequent media reloads. The printer does not support color printing, which limits use cases to monochrome labels only. Firmware upgrade and customization options can be limited without specific Zebra software tools.
