“As mobile technology continues to evolve, companies are integrating more mobile applications into their daily operations,” said Luis Rosales, product manager for Zebra Technologies. “This integration drives the need for small, reliable mobile printers that easily communicate with their Windows Mobile smart phones and handheld computer. The EM 220 meets that need, and is ideal for users who need a quick and easy printing solution that easily can be transported for on-site printing.”
