Is this the right printer for you?

Who the ZQ310 Plus Advanced Mobile 2-inch Wide Indoor is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print receipts or 2-inch labels in retail aisles or curbside delivery.
  • You need Bluetooth 5.0 pairing to a phone or handheld in under 3 seconds.
  • You want linerless media to skip backing-paper disposal.
  • You replace failed Zebra QL220 or iMZ220 units and need a current-gen drop-in.
  • You need 8-hour battery life with one shift charge.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print under 100 labels a day — battery lasts a week.
  • It's fine if your media is standard 2-inch direct thermal stock.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need 3-inch or 4-inch media — pick the ZQ320 or ZQ520.
  • Skip this if barcodes routinely fall below 6 mil — 203 dpi won't scan reliably.
  • Skip this if your printers sit on a counter all day; a desktop ZD220 is half the price.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Door-to-door delivery drivers and store associates clip the ZQ310 Plus to a belt and forget it's there until the next receipt. At 0.75 pounds with a 2-inch print width and 4 ips speed, it handles roughly 250 receipts on a single charge. Bluetooth 5.0 connects to iOS, Android, and Windows handhelds, and the linerless media option cuts label-backing waste to zero. Honest regret: the 203 dpi resolution shows aliasing on small barcodes under 0.5 inch, so pharmacy and serialization workflows want the higher-res sibling.

Retail markdown teams, route delivery, and quick-service drive-thru runners pick it for the IP54 rating and the no-fuss tear bar that doesn't jam.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

FAQ

ZQ310 Plus Advanced Mobile 2-inch Wide Indoor, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

The ZQ310 Plus Advanced Mobile 2-inch Wide Indoor is a direct thermal printer and does not use toner or ink. It prints using heat-sensitive paper, so there are no toner cartridges to replace. The only consumables needed are the direct thermal media rolls. When you lease through us with media included, you never pay for supplies separately.
The ZQ310 Plus is a lightweight, basic mobile printer with Bluetooth 5.0 and a 4 ips print speed, ideal for simple receipts and labels. The ZQ610 Plus offers faster performance (4.5 ips), WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and a color display for better usability in retail environments. The ZQ610 also has instant wake-up and longer battery life, making it better suited for high-volume tasks. For small offices needing basic mobility, the ZQ310 Plus is a cost-effective choice.
The ZQ310 Plus is well-suited for small businesses needing a lightweight, portable printer for receipts or small labels, with a 4 ips speed and Bluetooth connectivity. However, its 2-inch print width and monochrome output may limit use cases requiring wider or color prints. For higher volume or more versatile needs, consider upgrading to a commercial-grade printer.
No, the ZQ310 Plus is a monochrome direct thermal printer and only prints in black. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Zebra ZQ630 Plus or other color-capable mobile printers.
