Zebra’s new compact RFID printer, the ZD500R has been out for a while, but I’ve only just gotten my hands on one to check out. Big Z has been releasing a number of new models of late, but this is one I’ve been looking forward to – ever since the original Zebra GX printer promised […]

In the barcode printer business, the mid-range industrial sector is one of the most important and also one with potential to grow as companies step up from desktop printers and scale down from the heavy super industrial models. The printer manufacturers have come up with several mid-range models of late – Intermec’s PM43 and Sato’s […]

I’m always surprised that products like the Honeywell 8650 scanner are not more widely used – they seem to be a concept that could make life easier for a large group of users. Imagine that you work in a busy warehouse or distribution center. A big part of your day consists of moving boxes or […]

It isn’t everyday that Zebra Technologies comes up with a new printer model, so we were pleased to have the chance to check out a couple of examples from the new ZT200 line. The ZT200s sit at the lower end of Zebra’s line of printers, starting just above the plastic clamshell GX series and going […]
