ZQ600 Plus-HC Mobile Printers

Premium Features for Maximum Productivity

The Industry’s First Wi-Fi™ 6 Mobile Printer

The ZQ600 Plus Series offers fast, dependable and secure wireless connections for your healthcare staff. Take advantage of your Wi-Fi 6/6E network upgrade and get best-in-class WPA3 security, lightning-fast speeds and enhanced roaming. For flexibility, choose between 802.11ax/Bluetooth® 5.3 or 802.11ac/Bluetooth 4.2 dual radio options, depending on your network environment.

Industry-Standard 802.11r Fast Roaming for Seamless Access

Support for 802.11r fast roaming technology delivers the dependable wireless connection your on-the-move staff needs.

Instant Wake-Up Over Wi-Fi

Every second counts in the mission-critical world of healthcare— that’s why the ZQ600 Plus offers instant wake on Wi-Fi. This intelligent printer enters sleep mode when it is idle, and automatically wakes up the moment a user sends a print job, delivering instant availability—along with maximum battery cycle time. And the ZQ600 Plus’ instant wake-up works over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Large Color Display Makes Configuration and Operation a Snap

It’s easy to set up and maintain the ZQ600 Plus Series with its large display, user-friendly interface and easily customized menu. The display changes color when the printer is paused or in an error state, such as out of media or latch open, so users instantly know what the printer needs to stay up and running. And since the ZQ600 Plus Series is based on Zebra’s Link-OS menu system, you’ll get a common UI and user experience across other Zebra Link-OS mobile, desktop and industrial printers to lower the learning curve.

Business Tough—Built for All-Day Every Day Use

While the ZQ600 Plus is lightweight and comfortable to wear all shift long, it is loaded with features that give it long-lasting durability, including over-molding, a tempered-glass display and seamless one-piece design.

The Highest Battery Capacity in its Class

With the ZQ600 Plus Series’ high capacity battery, you can be sure that every worker has plenty of power for every shift.

Do more with Zebra’s Power Smart Print Technology™

This patented Zebra technology maximizes efficiency by delivering the exact amount of power required for the highest quality printing. Printers with PSPT save an estimated 20 to 30 percent of their battery power.

Extraordinary Battery Management Capabilities

The ZQ600 Plus Series’ PowerPrecision+ battery delivers the ultimate in battery power and management. A wealth of easily accessible battery metrics makes it easier than ever to identify, remove and replace aging batteries before they impact productivity.


Advanced Platform Grows with Your Business

Print DNA, Your Printer’s Built-in Advantage

Durable printers are essential, but it’s the software inside that will keep them in action. Zebra Print DNA is a suite of software capabilities that gives you the ability to optimize printer performance over their entire lifecycle, even as your business needs evolve.

Robust Memory to Support Applications Today and Tomorrow

The ZQ600 Plus Series offers 256 MB RAM and 512 MB Flash—providing more than enough memory for all your fonts and graphics needs today, as well as all the firmware upgrades and new Print DNA tools for years to come.

Backward Compatible with QLn Accessories

With more than one million units sold, Zebra’s QLn Series set the bar for accurate specimen labeling.

Now, the ZQ600 Plus Healthcare Series raises the bar again. And since the ZQ600 Plus Series is backward compatible with QLn accessories, you can upgrade to the latest platform and ingenuity without buying new accessories or rebuilding the settlement room.


Comprehensive Remote Management Options

Resolve Problems Faster with the Ethernet Cradle

Remote management is easy with the Ethernet Cradle. By docking the printer in the cradle at the end of every shift, IT can remotely upgrade the firmware as needed to ensure that each printer is operating at peak performance.

Easily Manage All Your Printers—All From a Single Location

Maintain secure and troubleshoot printers simply and easily, from anywhere, at anytime. Use the free Printer Setup Utilities to simplify setup and out-of-the-box configuration tasks. And with the optional Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, you can manage one printer, a group of specific printers or all printers anywhere in the world.

Seamless Integration with Your Device Management System

Get the simplicity of a single-pane-of-glass to manage all your Zebra mobile devices and printers—including the ZQ600 Plus Series. Easily integrate networked ZQ600 Plus Series printers into your existing AirWatch or SOTI MobiControl device management system. And if you are using Ivanti Avalanche (powered by Wavelink), the ZQ600 Plus Series offers support for Avalanche right out of the box.

Ensure Continued Reliability with Printhead Diagnostics

With the ZQ600 Plus Series, our unique Printhead Diagnostics provide visibility into the health of printheads across your deployment.

Protect Sensitive Patient and Business Data with PrintSecure

ZQ600 Plus Healthcare Series Accessories and Supplies

The ZQ600 Plus Healthcare Series offers all the accessories you need, from power and charging to carrying and protection options, cables and more. For all the accessories available for the ZQ600 Plus Healthcare Series, please refer to the Mobile Printer Accessory Guide, at www.zebra.com/mobile-printer-accessories

Lithium-Ion Charging Accessories
Ethernet Cradle
Single-bay Ethernet Cradle Accessory and 4-bay Ethernet Cradle Accessory

Single-bay Ethernet Cradle
and 4-bay Ethernet Cradle

Connect ZQ600/ZQ600 Plus printers to your wired Ethernet network via the ZQ600 Series Ethernet Cradle to enable easy remote management—helping to ensure each printer is operating optimally and ready for use. The Ethernet cradle can communicate over 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps networks using auto-sense.

The single-bay ZQ600 Series Ethernet cradle also charges the battery while it is in the printer, while the 4-bay version (with optional wall mount kit) charges four printers at a time. The 4-bay version includes an internal Ethernet switch and second Ethernet port, so you can link and manage four 4-bay Ethernet cradles (a total of 16 printers) from one port.

The printer remains fully functional so you can print while it is in either cradle. The cradle’s LED lights indicate DC power and Ethernet-link status.

Remote printer management over your Ethernet allows:

  • Battery management for monitoring battery health. Knowing each battery’s lifespan stage simplifies central management of your spare-battery pool.
  • Firmware management for updating printer firmware, eliminating the need for IT staff to travel to the local user site, or for the printer to be sent back to a central location for updating.
  • Print management for updating templates, fonts and graphics in order to print new label formats.
  • Device management for updating startup (e.g., config. sys), WML (front panel) or HTML (browser) files to enhance or change configuration and status collection.
  • Network management for updating encryption keys or certificate files to maintain the highest level of security.
  • Problem resolution and troubleshooting local printer issues that may otherwise require the printer to be sent in for repair.
  • Ability to manage Bluetooth printers, which traditionally have been off-network.
