Zebra ZE500 Print Engine RFID, 300dpi, 4'', Right Hand, Serial/USB/Parallel/Ethernet

SKU: 

ZE50043-R013R00Z

The Zebra ZE50043-R013R00Z is a right-hand-oriented RFID-encoding thermal transfer print engine in the ZE500 series, fitted with an integrated RFID encoder for print-and-apply line automation. It prints monochrome labels at 300 dpi and up to 12 in/s across a 4.10-inch print width, handling RFID, die-cut, continuous and black mark media up to 4.49 inches wide, 39 inches long and 10 mil thick, with transmissive and reflective sensors and a 1-inch ribbon core. Memory stands at 16 MB SDRAM and 64 MB flash, and connectivity covers serial, parallel, USB, Fast Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g wireless. A rotatable LCD display and real-time clock support flexible mounting and timed operations, while ZPL, ZPL 1 and ZPL II emulation ensure broad host compatibility. The engine accepts 120 V AC and 230 V AC input and weighs 33.95 lb. Certifications include CE, FCC A, NRTL, ICES-003 and IEC 60950-1, backed by a one-year limited warranty.

Description
ico-plus ico-minus

The Zebra Pro RFID is an industrial-grade label print engine designed for high-volume barcode and UHF RFID label production. Built on the proven ZE500R platform, this printer combines thermal transfer and direct thermal technologies with integrated RFID encoding to support asset tracking, inventory management, warehouse and manufacturing line applications, and automated print-and-apply systems. Its modular metal chassis, broad connectivity options and support for 203 and 300 dpi printheads enable precise, dependable output across a range of media widths, while built-in controls such as ZPL-family firmware and an on-board real-time clock simplify integration and maintain consistent operation in mission-critical B2B environments.

Key Features

  • Integrated RFID encoding: UHF RFID writer/encoder capability enables simultaneous printing and tag encoding for improved traceability and automation.
  • Industrial durability: Metal, modular print-engine construction designed for continuous operation in manufacturing, logistics, and distribution environments.
  • Flexible resolution options: Supports 203 dpi and 300 dpi configurations to balance readability and detail for barcodes, text and graphics.
  • High throughput: Capable of high print speeds for demanding workflows, supporting efficient label production in print-and-apply systems.
  • Broad system integration: Multiple interfaces including USB, Serial (RS-232), Parallel and 10/100 Ethernet with optional wireless and ZebraNet support facilitate deployment across existing networks.
