Printing Technology
The ZQ520 uses the Direct Thermal method to print human readible text,
graphics and barcodes. It incorporates a sophisticated print engine for optimal
printing under all operational conditions.
Direct Thermal
Direct thermal printing uses heat to cause a chemical reaction on specially
treated media. This reaction creates a dark mark wherever a heated element
on the printhead comes in contact with the media. Since the printing elements
are arranged very densely at 203 d.p.i. (dots per inch) horizontal and 200 d.p.i.
vertical, highly legible characters and graphic elements may be created a
row at a time as the media is advanced past the printhead. This technology
has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable
supplies such as ink or toner. However, since the media is sensitive to heat, it
will gradually loose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to
environments with relatively high temperatures.
