Frequently Asked Questions

The Zebra ZQ520 ships with a standard lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 1,900 labels per charge at a 4" × 3" label size, or roughly 8 hours of typical intermittent use in retail and field service environments. Heavy continuous-printing environments may see 5–6 hours per charge; in those cases, Zebra offers extended-capacity battery options that double runtime per charge. The ZQ520 also supports charging in a multi-dock cradle, allowing shift changes to swap batteries rather than wait for a single unit to charge — a common deployment pattern for retail floor and healthcare cart operations.

Mobile label printers in our catalog support label widths from 2 inches (Zebra ZQ520) to 4 inches (Zebra ZQ620), covering common sizes for shelf edge labels (2" × 1"), pharmacy labels (2" × 3"), item tickets (2" × 2"), and shipping labels (4" × 6"). Most models accept roll media up to 3.5 inches in outside diameter, supporting rolls of 500–1,000 labels per load depending on label thickness. For linerless labels — popular in grocery and produce environments to eliminate liner waste — confirm your chosen model supports linerless media, as not all mobile printers do.

Yes — Zebra mobile printers connect to Android handhelds via Bluetooth (Bluetooth Classic and BLE) and are fully supported by Zebra's Link-OS SDK for Android, which is already integrated into most Android-based WMS and WCS applications. If you're running a Zebra TC-series or MC-series handheld terminal, the Zebra mobile printer will pair without additional configuration beyond a one-time Bluetooth pairing. For third-party Android handhelds, connectivity is standard via the device's Bluetooth stack — EpicRise can advise on compatibility with your specific handheld model before purchase.

Yes — mobile label printers fully support all standard barcode symbologies including Code 128, Code 39, QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, GS1-128, and UPC/EAN, in addition to text, graphics, and logos. Print resolution on Zebra's ZQ500 series is 203 DPI standard (300 DPI optional), producing scannable barcodes down to approximately 0.25 inches tall at standard label widths. For healthcare environments requiring GS1 compliance or pharmaceutical NDC barcodes, the 300 DPI option is recommended to ensure scan reliability at small barcode dimensions.
