Where the ZD500 fits

The ZD500 sits in Zebra's ZD500 family and is grouped here as a desktop, 4-inch label printer. It is cataloged for thermal-transfer printing, where ribbon and media compatibility are part of the purchasing decision.

Cataloged resolution options are 203 / 300 dpi. A specific orderable unit may support only one of those values, and label templates expressed in dots must match the installed printhead. Use this page to build a shortlist, then compare the exact regional specification, interfaces, options and supported supplies with the manufacturer before purchase.
