An Advanced Platform that Grows with Your Business
Print DNA’s suite of software capabilities leverages everything we’ve learned about technology, users and thousands of use cases. Stay a step ahead with remote management tools, heightened security, and ongoing updates that enable your printers to work at their highest potential.
The ZQ600 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.
With more than one million units sold, Zebra’s QLn Series set the bar for retail mobile printing. Now, the ZQ600 Series raises the bar again. And since the ZQ600 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.
Maximum Uptime with Comprehensive Remote Management Options
Remote management is easy with the ZQ600 Series’ 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. Should employees experience a problem, they can simply dock the printer into the cradle for a remote diagnosis—eliminating the downtime and costs associated with shipping a printer to the repair depot when nothing is physically wrong.
With our comprehensive and flexible remote management tools, you can maintain, secure and troubleshoot printers simply and easily, from anywhere, 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. This browser-based solution lets you instantly discover every Link-OS printer on your network—there’s no need to manually track down, configure or troubleshoot printers.
Get the simplicity of a single-pane-of-glass to manage all your Zebra mobile devices and printers—including the ZQ600 Series. With Print DNA’s MDM Connectors, you can easily integrate networked ZQ600 Series printers into your existing AirWatch or SOTI MobiControl device management system. And if you are using Ivanti Avalanche (powered by Wavelink), the ZQ600 Series offers support for Avalanche right out of the box.
With the ZQ600 Series, you don’t need to worry about downtime from a worn-out printhead. Our unique Printhead Diagnostics provide visibility into the health of printheads across your deployment, enabling you to take action before productivity is impacted.
This complimentary Print DNA utility makes it easy to configure over 30 settings to fine-tune printer security to protect your data and your infrastructure by creating secure printer connections and blocking unauthorized printer access.
We design, produce and rigorously pre-test our own line of thermal printing supplies to ensure consistent, optimized performance in your Zebra printer. For industry-leading quality, service and thermal printing expertise, choose Zebra Certified Supplies.
You invest in Zebra printers to better serve your customers and boost operational efficiency. Now, you can ensure predictable performance and eliminate unbudgeted repair expenses with Zebra OneCare™.

ZQ600 Accessories
The ZQ600 Series offers all the accessories you need, from power and charging to carrying and protection options, cables and more. Please refer to the Mobile Printer Accessory Guide, found on Zebra.com, for all the accessories available for the ZQ600 Series.
| Lithium-Ion Charging Accessories |
| Ethernet Cradle |
Single-bay Ethernet Cradle
4-bay Ethernet Cradle
(¹Only available on ZQ610 & ZQ620)
Connect ZQ600 Series printers to your wired Ethernet network via the ZQ600 Series Ethernet cradle to enable easy remote management by your IT or operations staff—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.
