Made for iPhone (MFi)
The printers support communication with Apple devices running iOS 10 or later over a standalone
Bluetooth 4.1 radio and the BT4.1 radio included with the 802.11ac (dual) radio.
Near Field Communication (NFC)
The printers support a passive NFC tag which complies with the Android Standard Tag format since
Android devices are the most common found on the market today. The NFC tag is programmed from the
factory and supports Bluetooth pairing to enable a tablet, smartphone or mobile computer to automatically
pair with the printer via a Bluetooth connection (within the bounds of the security profile being used).
The NFC tag also supports app launching whereby an app developed either by Zebra or a third party will
launch on a NFC-enabled smartphone, tablet or mobile computer. Similarly, the NFC tag enables
launching to a web support page via a tablet, smartphone or mobile computer.
Thermal Shutdown
The printers have a thermal shutdown feature whereby the printer hardware will detect a printhead
over-temperature condition at 65°C (149°F). The printer automatically stops printing until the printhead
cools down to 60°C (140°F). Printing then recommences without a loss of label data or without any
degradation of print quality.
