Portable Printer Zebra QLn220

Zebra’s QL family of direct thermal mobile printers has built a highly satisfied following through its proven drop-resistant durability; user-friendly, productivity-boosting features; and easy integration. Zebra’s third generation of QL printers, the QLn™ series—including the QLn220™ for 2-inch-wide printing—extends these QL-platform benefits to the “nth” power.

Even more durable, the QLn220 heightens productivity through an easier-to-navigate display; faster, higher-quality printing; a variety of proactive alerts, and many convenient charging accessories. It’s also easier to integrate, with Zebra Global Printing, improved network performance, and ZebraLink™ support—including remote, Ethernet-connected diagnosis and management of printers, batteries, configuration and firmware for greater printer uptime and operations productivity. The QLn220 is ideal for healthcare applications such as bedside specimen and pharmacy labeling.
