| Thermal Printers from Zebra Technologies compliant with EU directive |
Vernon Hills, Ill., July 11, 2006—Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA), a global leader in on-demand printing solutions for business improvement, announced that as part of its commitment to the global environment, Zebra® thermal printers are in compliance with the European Union’s (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive.
Zebra successfully introduced lead-free components into its product portfolio, not only to ensure uninterrupted product shipments for customers in Europe, but as part of its overall
intention to help protect and preserve the earth’s natural resources. In addition to reducing or eliminating the use of hazardous substances, Zebra’s environmental policy includes conserving resources, reducing energy consumption, and designing for recycling.
“Our proactive steps to comply on a global scale reinforce Zebra’s long-standing position as an environmentally responsible corporate citizen,” said Ken Wasko, Zebra’s vice president of corporate quality. “Designing and producing ‘green’ printers for the world market demonstrates our ongoing commitment to environmental excellence, while we continue to deliver the best-in-class quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect from Zebra printing solutions.”
Zebra’s RoHS-compliant printers span the entire product range from high performance label printers to compact and lightweight portable printers to on-demand plastic card printers. The “green” models include: the industrial Zebra Z Series, 105SL™, XiIIIPlus™ Series, Stripe™, S4M™ and PAX4™ Print Engines; QL, Cameo and RW series mobile printers; LP and TLP desktop models; and P110i, P120i and P330i card printers.
Initially shipping to EU countries, Zebra will continue to roll out RoHS-compliant parts and printers to the rest of the world throughout 2006.
