the QLn series extends these QL-platform benefts  whether 
you choose the QLn320 for three-inch-wide printing, or the 
soon-to-come two-inch QLn220 printer.
A new design joins the printers tempered-glass display and 
rubber-infused over-moulding to make this lightweight printer 
even more durable. The QLn printer can boost your operations 
productivity through a larger, sharper, easier-to-navigate display; 
faster, higher-quality printing; a variety of proactive alerts that 
help keep working printers in employees hands; and many 
convenient charging accessories. And your IT department will 
fnd the QLn printer easier to integrate into existing environments 
with features such as Zebra Global Printing, improved network 
performance and ZebraLink support. ZebraLink Tools help 
reduce no problem found service returns thanks to their 
remote Ethernet-connected printer-, battery-, confguration- 
and frmware management capabilities.
