Zebra ZQ300 Plus Series Mobile Printers
The Zebra ZQ300 Plus Series is a compact and versatile mobile printer family designed for businesses that need affordable, reliable mobile receipt and label printing. It is especially well suited for retail, field service, direct store delivery, courier, government, transportation and light logistics workflows where employees need to print at the point of activity instead of returning to a fixed printer. The series includes two main models. The ZQ310 Plus is the smaller model, with a maximum print width of 48 mm. It is best suited for compact receipts, narrow labels, mobile point-of-sale documents, field service receipts and lightweight mobile printing tasks. The ZQ320 Plus is the wider model, with a maximum print width of 72 mm, making it better for larger receipts, shelf labels, price labels, BOPIS labels, delivery documents and broader mobile label applications. The ZQ300 Plus Series is designed to handle both receipt and label workflows. In retail, the same mobile printer can support mobile point-of-sale receipts, shelf labels, price markdowns, markups, gift registry documents and buy-online-pick-up-in-store workflows. In field service and direct store delivery, it can print invoices, proof-of-delivery notices, receipts, schedule printouts, inventory lists, parts reconciliations and end-of-day reports. It is also suitable for courier, postal, utility and government applications such as parking violations, e-citations and meter reading documents. All ZQ300 Plus models use direct thermal printing. This makes the printers simple to operate because there is no ribbon to manage. They print barcodes, text and graphics at 203 dpi resolution, with maximum print speed up to 100 mm per second, or 4 inches per second. The printers support CPCL and ZPL programming languages, helping them integrate with many existing Zebra printing environments. The ZQ310 Plus measures 130 mm × 93.5 mm × 49.5 mm and weighs 0.37 kg with battery. The ZQ320 Plus measures 130 mm × 117.7 mm × 49.5 mm and weighs 0.43 kg with battery. This lightweight and slim design makes the printers comfortable to carry throughout a shift and easy to use in tight spaces, counters, aisles, vehicles or customer-facing areas. The ZQ300 Plus Series is available in different exterior styles to match different use cases. A dark grey version with scuff-resistant exterior is positioned for more demanding environments and outdoor use, while the silver and black design is aimed at more design-conscious retail environments. This allows businesses to choose a printer appearance and durability profile that fits the working environment. Durability is strong for the compact mobile category. The printers have an IP54 rating, 1.5 m drop specification across the operating temperature range and a 500 free-fall tumble specification from 1 m. Vibration testing is listed to MIL-STD 810. These durability characteristics make the ZQ300 Plus Series more robust than a simple consumer-style mobile printer and suitable for daily business use. The operating temperature range is -15°C to +50°C, with storage temperature from -20°C to +60°C. Charging temperature is 0°C to 40°C, and operating humidity is 10% to 90% non-condensing. These specifications support mobile operation in stores, delivery routes, field service, light logistics and other everyday business environments. Media support is focused on receipts and linerless labels. The ZQ310 Plus supports 58 mm media, with spacers available for 50.8 mm media. The ZQ320 Plus supports 80 mm media, with spacers available for 76 mm media. Maximum roll outside diameter is 40 mm. Supported media thickness ranges from 0.05334 mm to 0.16 mm. Media types include direct thermal receipt paper and linerless labels. Linerless support is an important productivity and sustainability feature. With linerless media, workers do not need to handle used backing liner during their shift. Since linerless media can provide up to 60% more labels per roll, it can reduce roll changes, improve printer uptime and reduce waste. This is especially useful for retail shelf labelling, markdown labels and mobile operational labels. The ZQ300 Plus Series uses a drop-in fixed-width clamshell media holder for simple media loading. It supports horizontal and vertical printing, includes a tear bar and uses a label counter odometer. Media sensing includes black mark sensing as standard, with gap sensing available as an option. The bar sensor is specified for top-side marks only, so media compatibility should be checked for non-standard label layouts. Battery performance is designed for full-shift mobile use. The printers use a 2280 mAh, 7.2 V PowerPrecision+ lithium-ion battery. Zebra’s Power Smart Print Technology dynamically adjusts print speed and power use based on factors such as motor torque, battery and printhead temperature and print density. The supplied material states that this can reduce power consumption by an average of 20 to 30 percent per battery cycle. The printers also support a power-saving sleep mode with instant wake. When idle, the printer can enter sleep mode automatically and wake when it receives a print job. This helps extend battery life without slowing down mobile workers during active use. PowerPrecision+ battery metrics also make it easier to identify aging batteries before they affect productivity. Connectivity is designed for mobile flexibility. Bluetooth 4.1 Classic and BLE are standard, with MFi certification for iOS devices. The printers can pair with Zebra mobile computers and tablets, as well as Android, iOS, Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices. A passive NFC tag enables tap-to-pair simplicity with compatible Zebra NFC-enabled mobile devices. Cabled communication uses USB Client through a Type-C connector. Optional WLAN support includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi with WPA and WPA2 security, 802.1x authentication, supported EAP methods and fast roaming features such as PMK caching, OKC, EAP Fast Session resumption and 802.11r. This makes WLAN configurations suitable for retail and enterprise environments where networked mobile printing and remote management are required. The ZQ300 Plus Series runs on Zebra Link-OS and is supported by Print DNA software capabilities. Print DNA tools help with setup, integration, security, remote management and lifecycle optimization. Printer Profile Manager Enterprise enables browser-based discovery, configuration distribution and printer updates for networked printers. Optional visibility services such as Asset Visibility Service and Operational Visibility Service can provide additional insight into printer health and usage. The printers support common barcode types for retail, field service, logistics and government workflows. Supported linear barcodes include Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN, UPC, Interleaved 2-of-5 and UCC / EAN 128. Supported 2D barcodes include Aztec Code, Data Matrix, GS1 DataBar, MaxiCode, MicroPDF417, PDF417, QR Code and TLC 39. Font support includes Latin, Arabic, Cyrillic, Hebrew, CJK, Thai and other downloadable bitmap and scalable fonts. The box includes the printer, 2280 mAh lithium-ion battery, belt clip, USB Type-C to Type-A cable, Quick Start Guide, registration card, Safety Guide and Regulatory Guide. Multiple charging options are available, including printer and battery chargers, multi-slot chargers and AC-to-USB charging, making the series practical for both individual users and larger fleet deployments. Overall, the Zebra ZQ300 Plus Series is a compact, affordable and versatile mobile printer family for businesses that need mobile receipts and labels with stronger durability and manageability than basic portable printers. The ZQ310 Plus is the better choice for compact receipt and narrow label workflows, while the ZQ320 Plus is better for wider receipts, shelf labels, price labels and mobile retail or delivery documents.
