Zebra ZD510 Wristband Printer
Trust patient wristband printing to a healthcare specialist.
The Zebra ZD510-HC combines a 300 dpi direct-thermal printer with fast-loading Z-Band wristband cartridges for dependable patient identification. Automatic calibration and cartridge-based loading reduce training and help admissions teams produce durable, consistently scannable wristbands.
Its disinfectant-ready UV-resistant housing, quiet operation and IEC 60601-1 compliant power supply suit shared care environments. Zebra DNA for Printers, Link-OS and PrintSecure support deployment, remote management and data protection.

Easy to Use and Deploy
Pop In a Cartridge and Print
A smart chip enables automatic calibration and print-speed settings for the installed Z-Band cartridge, while illuminated media indicators help staff respond quickly.
Connect to Care Workflows
Standard Ethernet, USB, USB Host and Bluetooth Low Energy support common deployments; optional wireless adds concurrent wired and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Designed for Healthcare
Cleanable, Quiet and Medical Grade
The disinfectant-ready UV-resistant housing tolerates approved cleaning routines, the printer operates quietly near patients, and the power supply meets IEC 60601-1.
Protect Sensitive Data
Direct thermal printing leaves no used ribbon to secure. Zebra PrintSecure and Zebra DNA management tools support secure connections, configuration and remote oversight.
Durable, Scannable Z-Bands
Built for Patient Identification
Zebra designs and tests Z-Band wristbands for image durability and first-scan readability through exposure to water, soap, sanitizer and other common healthcare solvents.
Sizes for Each Patient
Healthcare cartridges cover infant, child and adult sizes with adhesive or clip closures, including UltraSoft choices for sensitive skin.
Application Flexibility
Healthcare and Hospitality
Use ZD510-HC for patient identification or choose compatible Z-Band Fun and Splash cartridges for guest identification at attractions and resorts.
Easy Migration
Native ZPL supports migration from Zebra desktop and legacy HC100 workflows, while Zebra DNA Printer Emulations can reduce changes when replacing third-party printers.
