Zebra ZQ300 Series 5-slot charging cradle for shared printer fleets
5 printers at onceUnder 4 h full chargeEU power cordZQ310 and ZQ320
The Zebra ZQ300 Series 5-Slot Docking Charger (CRD-MPM-5SCHGEU1-01) docks and charges up to five ZQ310 or ZQ320 mobile receipt printers at the same time, taking each battery from empty to full in under 4 hours, for retail floors, hospitality and field teams that share a pool of printers between shifts.
Instead of a tangle of individual chargers, staff drop the printers into one cradle at the end of a shift and pick up charged units at the start of the next. Zebra ships the cradle complete with its power supply and power cord - this SKU comes with the EU power cord, so it plugs straight into a standard Cyprus or European outlet without extra parts.
Before you order: This is the 5-slot cradle with EU power cord. Do not order the 1-slot cradle (CRD-MPM-1SCHGxx1-01) if you need to charge several printers, and do not order the US, UK or AU versions - the UK version would need a different wall socket.
What's in the Box
- Zebra ZQ300 Series 5-slot docking charger cradle
- Power supply and EU power cord (Zebra: ships complete with power supply and power cord)
- Printers and batteries are not included
What It Means in Practice
- One power socket charges up to five printers - tidy charging station for a store back office, hotel front desk or delivery depot
- A fully drained printer is ready again in under 4 hours, so printers docked at the end of a shift are charged for the next
- The printer can be used while docked - handy for printing at a counter - but the media cover cannot be opened while it sits in the cradle, so change paper rolls before docking
- Two cups can be removed to fit a 3-slot battery charger in a custom configuration, if you also want to charge spare batteries in the same footprint
- Supports ZQ310 Plus and ZQ320 Plus as well as the original ZQ310 and ZQ320, so mixed fleets can share one cradle
What Will Not Work
- It will not charge other Zebra printer series such as ZQ500 or ZQ600 - it is designed for the ZQ300 Series form factor
- It is not a data or network cradle; Zebra publishes it as a docking charger, so printer connectivity stays on Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
- You cannot replace paper rolls while a printer is docked - the media cover stays closed in the cradle
- It does not include printers, spare batteries or the optional 3-slot battery charger
- The UK, US and AU versions are separate SKUs; this one has the EU cord only
Key Features
Five printers, one plug
Docks and charges up to five ZQ310/ZQ320 printers simultaneously from a single power supply - fewer adapters, fewer sockets and no loose chargers left on counters or in drawers.
Fast turnaround
Empty to full in under 4 hours, so a shift's printers are recharged well before the next shift begins.
Print while docked
Printers remain usable in the cradle, useful for counter or desk printing between rounds.
Flexible configuration
Two cups can be removed to mount a 3-slot battery charger for custom printer-plus-battery charging stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix ZQ310 and ZQ320 printers in the same cradle?
Yes. The cradle accepts ZQ310 and ZQ320 printers, including the Plus versions,, so a mixed 2-inch and 3-inch fleet can share it.
Do I need to remove the battery to charge it?
No. The printer charges with its battery installed by simply docking it. Spare batteries can be charged separately with Zebra's 3-slot battery charger.
Where should the cradle go?
Choose a flat, stable surface near a power socket where staff return printers at the end of a shift - a back office, front desk or depot counter. Zebra does not publish the cradle dimensions, so ask us before planning shelf or drawer space and we check it for you.
We only have two printers. Is this the right cradle?
For one or two printers the 1-slot cradle may be a better fit. Tell us how many printers you run and we suggest the right charging option.
