Introducing QL Plus Mobile Printers. More Efficient, More Advanced, More Secure!

Zebra’s popular QL™ series of mobile printers has brought extra durability and uniquely flexible wireless connectivity to retail, manufacturing/warehousing, and logistics operations. Now, for the same price as our expanded-memory QL, our new QL Plus series can help you perform your mobile labeling jobs even better.

• Print complex jobs fast -- including intricate formats and fonts (even Japanese Kanji) -- thanks to a high-speed, 32-bit processor; larger memory; and USB 2.0 support.

• Better secure your wireless network. Supports VPN (Virtual Private Network), WPA, EAP-TLS, and other advanced encryption protocols in the standard firmware applications.

• Future-proof your investment. The QL Plus is designed to support upcoming encryption protocols, too. Plus, choose flexible QuickLink™ radio modules for 802.11b or Bluetooth^® connectivity today, and when new wireless standards emerge tomorrow, such as 802.11g, the QL Plus is ready to be upgraded!

• Seamlessly integrate your QL Plus with other Zebra^® printers. Its larger memory supports Zebra’s ZPL^® x.8 and EPL™ commands.

The plusses of QL Plus add up to even more efficient mobile printing! Learn more. To download the free “Understanding Mobile Printing Technology and Capabilities” white paper, click here.
