Key Advantages

The ZebraNet ZP500 offers reliable print quality suitable for barcode and label printing, enhancing operational efficiency. Its direct thermal technology reduces maintenance and consumable expenses, making it cost-effective. The printer's compact and lightweight design allows for easy placement in limited office spaces. Moreover, it supports multiple connectivity options such as USB and parallel ports, increasing compatibility with a wide range of devices. The user-friendly interface and simple media loading mechanism minimize downtime and operator learning curve. Its robust build quality ensures durability for consistent office use.

Limitations

The ZebraNet ZP500 is limited to direct thermal printing, which means printed labels may fade over time if exposed to heat or sunlight. It offers a relatively low resolution of 203 dpi, which may not be sufficient for highly detailed graphics or fine text. This model lacks wireless connectivity options like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, restricting mobility and integration with modern network infrastructures. Its print speed is moderate compared to newer models, potentially limiting productivity in high-volume environments. The printer supports a restricted media width of up to 4 inches, which may not meet larger labeling needs. Additionally, it does not have advanced color printing capabilities, being limited to monochrome outputs.
