Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Reclassifications

Reclassifications. Prior-period amounts will differ from amounts previously reported because certain immaterial amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. In addition, prior-period financial results have been reclassified to account for the impact of the disposition of Navis, Zebra Enterprise Solutions GmbH (formerly "proveo AG"), and other immaterial Zebra operations. In January 2011, Zebra announced its entry into an agreement to sell Navis to Cargotec Corporation and on March 18, 2011, Zebra completed the transaction. In August 2011, Zebra sold its interest in proveo AG to F Two NV. As a result, the statement of earnings for the Navis business, proveo AG and other immaterial Zebra operations as of and for the all periods presented are reported as discontinued operations. See Note 17 Discontinued Operations.
