ZM400/ZM600
Positioning Summary
Product Guide - EMEA 5 May 2007
Positioning Summary
Fast Print Speed and Quick Throughput: The ZM400/ZM600 printer’s ability
to print fast and print a lot of labels for a long time means these printers
can keep up with the needs of the fastest production lines.
Metal Frame and Case
: The rugged construction of the ZM400/ZM600 printer
makes it suitable for a variety of operating environments.
Multitude of Optional Features & Flexibility:
Connectivity: While parallel, serial and USB 2.0 connectivity are
standard, these printers also support internal 10/100 Ethernet and
802.11b/g wireless Ethernet. In addition, using Ethernet no longer
requires the sacrifice of the parallel port.
Media handling: These printers can be use in a variety of ways,
including tear-off, peel and present (with and without liner take-up),
full roll rewind for batch operations, and cut mode.
Programming Language, Memory & Fonts: Of course, these new
printers support Zebra’s ZPL programming language, which is
Unicode™ compliant, and with the addition of optional memory &
fonts, are ready for any global printing needs. The ZM400/ZM600
printers also support Zebra’s EPL programming language as well
as its XML programming solution. They also supports ZebraLink
APL technology, allowing the printer to adapt to legacy Intermec
environments (APL-I
) or Datamax environments (APL-D
).
Most Applications: Like its legacy replacements, the Z4Mplus and Z6Mplus
printers, the new ZM400/ZM600 printers are designed to fit into most
applications seamlessly and effortlessly.
Price-Performance Leaders
: The ZM400/ZM600 printers are backed with
many standard features as well. A large, easy-to-read LCD display that
handles 16 different languages (including Japanese, Chinese & Korean),
USB 2.0 connectivity, and RFID-Ready for future-proofing your
investment are just some of the many.
The ZM400 and ZM600 combine fast print speed, quick throughput and a
high duty cycle into a rugged full-sized metal printer designed to enhance
productivity. In addition, the Z Series printers’ multitude of optional
features and flexibility allow it to support most warehouse and business
applications. The Z Series Thermal Printers are commercial/industrial
workhorses that are the price-performance leaders in their class.

ZM400/ZM600
Typical User/How to Sell
Product Guide - EMEA 13 May 2007
How the ZM400 and ZM600 thermal printer compare to Zebra’s other printer
products.
Designed to enhance productivity, the versatile and cost effective ZM400
and ZM600 thermal printers provide the features, options, and performance that
make them suitable for all but the most demanding applications. Both are sturdy
full-size printers with rugged metal cases and frames that deliver fast print
speeds, rapid throughput, and high duty cycles. The ZM400 and ZM600
represent the price-performance leaders in their class. This combination makes
the ZM400 and ZM600 the ideal printers for most warehouse, industrial, and
business applications.
The inexpensive S4M is another robust 4-inch printer sporting a sturdy
metal frame and case. While the S4M offers the same durable construction as
the ZM400, its smaller feature and option set delivers slightly less performance
than the ZM400. The S4M represents the ideal low cost printer for many basic
industrial commercial printing applications.
With its practical basic feature set, precision operation, reputation for
reliability, and top-of-the-line all metal construction, the dependable 105SL
thermal printer is a stalwart commercial / industrial workhorse suitable for both
the precision printing of small labels as well as heavy duty industrial / commercial
printing in most common applications.
The full featured XilllPlus printers are Zebra’s flagship printers designed to
optimize high performance printing in all applications. The XilllPlus printers
feature all-metal construction throughout. The XiIIIPlus printers boast a full metal
case, frame, and precision machined metal spindles to deliver the ultimate in
durability and long life high speed printing precision. These designs consistently
deliver the highest reliability, performance, quality, and precision printing
available, even when positioned in the harshest of industrial environments. The
Xilllplus is able to hold tight registration on all types of media, including the slick
synthetic medias commonly found on electronic circuit boards. The XilllPlus are
totally uncompromised in their design and are perfectly positioned for 24/7 duty in
mission-critical environments.

ZM400 vs. Stripe S600
While the S600 printer is
made entirely of plastic,
the ZM400 printer is
more robust containing
a metal frame and case
ideally suited for many
applications, including
product ID, receiving,
shipping, and
compliance labeling.
The ZM400 printer
offers a larger selection
of connectivity options
than the S600, including
internal Ethernet and
wireless.
The ZM400 printer has
a much faster print
speed and duty cycle
than the S600.
The footprint of the
ZM400 printer, while
slighter larger than the
S600 is still small
enough to be a good fit
for certain space
constrained
environments such as
mobile carts.
The ZM400 printer’s
LCD and quick change

more time to print labels
and be productive.

ZM400 vs. S4M
Both the ZM400 and the
S4M printer are reliable,
metal printers ideally
suited for many
applications, including
product ID, receiving,
shipping and compliance
labeling.
While both printers offer
setup via an LCD display,
the display on the ZM400
is larger, easier to read
and offers Asian language
support.
The S4M printer has a
lower duty cycle than the
ZM400, but much higher
than that of a LP/TLP
2844. The S4M is the
ideal printer for
applications that need
more than a desktop yet
don’t need the
horsepower of a ZM400.
The ZM400 printer offers
significantly faster print
speeds and thus faster
throughput for batch
printing and other high
speed applications.
The ZM400 printer offers
greater application
flexibility with regard to
Media handling and
resolution, supporting
options such liner take-up,
full media rewind, cutter
and 600 dpi.

ZM400 vs. Z4Mplus
The ZM400 is the next
generation of 4” Z Series
printers, offering
everything that Z4Mplus
offers and more. The best
in class just got better.
While both printers offer
setup via an LCD display,
the display on the ZM400
is larger, easier to read
and offers Asian language
support.
The ZM400 offers a higher
print speed at 300 dpi (8
ips vs. 6 ips.) and a true 4”
600 dpi print solution.
Ethernet support has been
greatly enhanced.
Internal 10/100 Ethernet
no longer requires
sacrificing the parallel
port. Additional wireless
support is offered via the
WirelessPlus PrintServer.
RFID-Ready on the
ZM400 offers investment
protection for when you
are ready to upgrade to
RFID.
An optional ribbon spindle
supporting ribbon coated
ink-side in allows better
“drop in” compatibility with
Datamax Prodigy
replacements when used
with APL-D.

ZM400 vs. 110XiIIIPlus
While the ZM400 offers a
4” 600 dpi print width vs.
the 110XiIIIPlus 3.2” 600
dpi print width, the min
label length of the
110XiIIIPlus is smaller,
offering a better solution
for small electronic labels
The 110XiIIIPlus is all
metal, including spindles,
gears, etc. offering a
heavy duty construction
capable of lasting in the
most abusive
environments.
While the print speed of
both printers is
comparable, the
110XiIIIPlus offers a
higher duty cycle making it
more appropriate for 24/7
mission critical
applications.
The 110XiIIIPlus printer’s
optional media spindle
allows unique mounting
possibilities not offered by
the ZM400.
By providing media back
tension, the 110XiIIIPlus
printer’s media spindle
can also help provide
tighter registration when
printing on tiny labels.
The 110XiIIIPlus printer’s
adjustable print
mechanism allows users
to precisely “dial-in” a print
line position for the best
print quality possible.
