Both printers include Zebra’s Print DNA suite of applications,
utilities and developer tools - powered by the Link-OS® operating
system - which provides healthcare IT departments with a better
printing experience through stronger security, easier integration
and simplified remote management.
KEY FACTS
- Both the ZQ600-Healthcare label printer
and the ZD510-HC wristband printer are purpose-built for healthcare
using specially engineered plastics designed to withstand an array
of disinfectant solutions often used during device wipe-downs.
- The ZQ600-Healthcare and ZD510-HC
printers include the latest Wi-Fi and security capabilities to
enable stable and safeguarded connections.
- Print Touch is a tag feature using Near
Field Communication (NFC) that enables instant pairing with
Android-based mobile devices, as well as a webpage and app
launching feature that facilitates access to troubleshooting and
product support.
- With the PrintSecure feature, hospitals
can increase security by simplifying printer configuration to block
unwanted access.
KEY FACTS – ZQ600-Healthcare
- The ZQ600-Healthcare mobile printer is
designed for high-volume specimen labeling at the point-of-care and
helps reduce patient lab diagnostic errors while also allowing
nurses to spend more time at the bedside.
- The small, lightweight format allows it
to be easily carried on a clinician’s belt clip or placed on a
cart. It also features an easy-to-read color display that can
clearly identify signal alerts, printer status and errors to
quickly resolve issues.
- Its high-capacity battery works with
Zebra’s patented Power Smart Print technology (PSPT), which
maximizes battery efficiency by calculating and delivering the
exact amount of power required for hospital staff to print during
their entire shift.
- It also includes the industry’s only
instant wake over Wi-Fi feature, which automatically wakes up the
printer if it goes into sleep mode when idle and enables clinicians
to instantly print labels.
- Zebra’s IQ Color Specimen Collection
Labels automate the identification of STAT specimens, eliminating
the manual process of marking the label with a marker which reduces
errors and speeds up operations. The labels meet the Clinical
Laboratory Standard Institute’s (CLSI) specimen collection label
format standard.
KEY FACTS – ZD510-HC
- The new ZD510-HC direct thermal
wristband printer is ideal for producing high-grade wristbands used
for positive patient identification and works with leading
admission, discharge and transfer systems.
- Its innovative cartridge technology
enables fast-loading of wristband cartridges and includes a smart
chip that automatically configures printer settings and identifies
adult and pediatric-sized wristbands. This virtually eliminates
training and significantly increases staff efficiency. The printer
is also backwards-compatible with existing Zebra wristband
cartridges.
- Zebra’s Z-Band® Wristbands contain an
antimicrobial coating and are up to six times more durable than
leading thermal healthcare wristbands when exposed to common
solvents used in hospitals. Z-Band wristbands are available in a
variety of colors and sizes to meet different patient
identification needs.
