Zebra ZE511, thermotransfer, POS-printer, 300 x 300 DPI, 12 dot, 356 mm/sec, 135 - 254 µm

The Zebra ZE511 sets itself apart from ordinary POS printers by combining a blazing 356 mm per second print speed with true 300 dpi resolution, ensuring crisp barcodes and text even in high-volume retail and hospitality environments. Its robust thermal transfer and direct thermal capabilities handle media from 135 to 254 µm, making it versatile for labels, tags, and receipts.

Highlights

• High-speed 300 dpi printing at up to 356 mm/sec for demanding workflows
• Supports both thermal transfer and direct thermal printing methods
• Wide media thickness range: 0.135–0.254 mm for flexible application needs
• Comprehensive connectivity: USB 2.0, RS-232 Serial, and 10/100 Ethernet
• Large memory: 128 MB SDRAM and 512 MB Flash for complex label formats
• Supports ZPL, ZPL II, and XML programming languages for easy integration
• Graphical LCD display for intuitive status monitoring and configuration

In daily use

Whether printing shipping labels in a busy warehouse or receipts at a point-of-sale counter, the ZE511 delivers consistent, high-quality output. The flat-head printhead design ensures even pressure across the media, while transmissive and reflective sensors automatically detect label gaps and black marks, reducing media waste and operator intervention. The universal auto-ranging power supply (90–264 VAC) adapts to global power standards, and the printer operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with 20% to 85% non-condensing humidity, making it suitable for most indoor environments.
