Why choose a mobile printer?

• Mobile printers can be used to produce high-quality labels, receipts and tickets using a variety of media.
• Mobile printers are typically used in conjunction with handheld or wearable computers. The printer receives its commands from the portable computer through either a cabled or wireless connection.
• Printers may also have a direct connection to enterprise wireless networks. The wireless interfaces perform separate functions and can be used simultaneously.
• Customers can choose from several advanced wireless connectivity options, such as wireless local area networks (LANs), 802.11b, and Bluetooth technology with Zebra’s flexible QuickLink radio modules.
• Advanced network security protocols, encryption, and mutual authentication, including VPN (virtual private network) and
  WPA (wi-fi protected access) as well as EAP-TLS security.

• Wearing printers instead of carrying them keeps the user’s hands free for other tasks and reduces fatigue.
• The printer is always with the operator for instant access
• Damage or loss is less likely

• The mount may be permanent, for in-vehicle operation, or removable so the printer can be taken out and used at the point of service
• Mounted printers may be battery operated or wired to a vehicle adapter.
• Mobile printers are designed to withstand the shock and vibrations of the mobile environment and have power management.

Accessories
Many accessories are available to make mobile printers more comfortable and convenient to use. Accessories include shoulder straps, belt clips and holsters, stands, vehicle mounting units, cables with different lengths and connector configurations, radio modules, single- and multi-unit battery chargers, additional fonts and more.
