Product Description
The Zebra ZE500-4 300dpi printhead (P1046696-016) is the high-resolution replacement for Zebra's ZE500 series print engines - the OEM modules that OEMs and integrators build into print-and-apply, labelling and inline systems. Rated at 300 dpi (12 dots/mm) over a 4-inch (104 mm) width, it restores the fine barcode, small-font and graphic output the ZE500 is engineered for.
The ZE500 is a print engine, not a box printer, so the head must seat precisely into the engine carriage (RH or LH). P1046696-016 drops in with no firmware change. We 100% test every head on a live ZE500 engine before dispatch.
Main Features
|
✔ Exact fit for ZE500-4 (300 dpi)
Cross-referenced to Zebra P1046696-016. The ZE500-6 300 dpi uses P1004237 and the 203 dpi variants use P1046696-099 / P1004236 - different parts. Confirm your engine size + dpi + hand orientation.
|
✔ 300dpi fine output (12 dots/mm)
0.084 mm dot pitch produces sharp 2D codes, small text and logos for compliance and product ID - sharper than 203 dpi without 600 dpi's cost.
|
|
✔ Thermal transfer & direct thermal engine
Dual-mode: ribbon for durable inline labels, or direct thermal for short-life tags. Built for continuous-duty integration lines.
|
✔ Extended-life option available
For high-volume direct-thermal lines Zebra also offers an extended-life 300 dpi ZE500-4 head (P1079036-006) - ask us if your duty cycle warrants it.
|
Product Applications
Case, carton and primary-label application on packaging and assembly lines where the ZE500 is integrated.
Regulatory, traceability and serialized codes where small print must stay scannable.
High-volume shipping and tracking labels at goods-out, integrated into conveyor and apply systems.
