Zebra QLn220 Printer
Direct Thermal Mobile Label Printer

Zebra QLn220 Printer Models and Prices | Zebra QLn220 Labels | Zebra QLn220 Specification |
Zebra’s popular QL™ family of direct-thermal mobile label printers has built a highly satisfied following based upon its proven drop-resistant durability; user-friendly, productivity-boosting features; and easy integration. As Zebra’s third generation of QL printers, the QLn series extends these QL-platform benefits – whether you choose the QLn320™ model for 72mm-wide printing or the QLn220™ model for print widths up to 48mm.
The printers’ over-moulding and tempered-glass display – coupled with their seamless, one-piece design – make them more durable than ever before. These printers can boost your operation’s productivity through their larger, sharper, easier-to-navigate display; faster, higher-quality printing; a variety of proactive alerts that help keep working printers in employees’ hands; and many convenient charging accessories. And, your IT department will fi nd the QLn printers more intuitive to integrate into existing platforms thanks to Zebra’s Link-OS® environment. Other features such as Zebra Global Printing and improved network performance – including 802.11n wireless LAN capability for more robust and reliable connectivity and throughput – also make integration easier.
With Zebra’s Link-OS environment – an innovative operating system combining a powerful Multiplatform Software Development Kit (SDK) and software applications – the QLn printers are easy to integrate, manage and maintain from any location around the globe. Enabled with Print Touch™, these Link-OS printers offer web page launching features using Near Field Communication (NFC), making it easy to access Zebra’s extensive knowledge base of how-to videos and product support.
Ideal for These Applications
- Retail — shelf-edge labels, mark-down labels, price labels and tags, sell-by labels, transfer and return labels
- Healthcare — bedside specimen labels, pharmacy labels
Easier to use and integrate
The QLn family of printers were designed to optimise business processes through easy operation and mobility – reducing training requirements and increasing worker productivity.
- Meet the increasing demand for mobile printing across different operating systems. QLn printers are "Made for iPod®/iPhone®/iPad®" certifi ed and also support Android and Windows devices via Multiplatform SDK apps.
- Easily operate the printer using simple-to-navigate controls and a user-friendly interface, which includes a help menu and alert messages.
- Quickly access Zebra's extensive knowledge base of how-to videos and product support with Print Touch-enabled Web page launching features.
- Conveniently carry and store the printer thanks to a smaller design.
- Achieve faster, higher-quality printing with lower power use through Power Smart Print Technology™.
- Experience higher performance:- Faster processing and throughput. - Increased memory that handles printer's advanced functions and future firmware improvements, and stores more complex fonts, graphics and images.
- Increase user and operational efficiencies with convenient charging accessories.
- Move your business forward without the cost or stress of upgrades. Backwards compatibility with QL and QL Plus™ models lets you upgrade to the QLn printer without changing media or label formats. The inclusion of the legacy CPCL programming language also allows mixed networks of QL/QL Plus and QLn products.
- Be assured of full compatibility with many other Zebra printers thanks to Zebra's ZPL® programming language. And with ZBI 2.x™, directly connect your printers with legacy host systems and peripheral devices, such as scanners and scales.
- Maintain robust and reliable connectivity, even for your largest data transfers, with Wi-Fi®-certified connectivity. Zebra's 802.11n solution has dual-band support (5 GHz and 2.4 GHZ) and is fully compatible with 802.11a and 802.11b/g standards, so you can easily move business operations to the less-crowded 5 GHz band.
- Efficiently print and optimize your labels with ZebraDesigner™ Pro for label design and ZebraDesigner drivers for Windows. Print multiple languages on a single label using Zebra's Unicode™ UTF-16-compliant Global Printing Solution.
