Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Zebra TC21 and TC26?
The main difference is cellular connectivity. The TC26 supports both 4G LTE cellular data and Wi-Fi, making it ideal for outdoor field workers. The TC21 features Wi-Fi only and is designed for indoor use within the four walls of a facility
Can the Zebra TC26 scan damaged or poorly printed barcodes?
Yes. The integrated enterprise scan engine utilizes smart imaging technology to instantly capture scratched, dirty, poorly printed, or crinkled 1D and 2D barcodes on the first try
Is the battery on the Zebra TC26 removable?
Yes. Unlike consumer smartphones with sealed batteries, this device features a user-replaceable removable battery. This allows workers to swap dead batteries for fresh ones without taking the device out of service
Does the device support mobile tap-to-pay transactions?
Yes. The built-in NFC controller supports Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap, allowing workers to process tickets, loyalty cards, gift cards, and contactless payments.
Can I drop the Zebra TC26 without damaging it?
The device is built to survive repeated 1.2-meter drops to concrete. You can increase this rugged drop specification to 1.5 meters by attaching the optional protective rubber boot accessory.
