ZM400/ZM600  
Positioning Summary  
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.  
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.

ZM400/ZM600  
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/ZM600  
VII. Q & A  
1. Are the ZM400/ZM600 printers compatible with other Zebra printers?  
YES. The ZM400 and ZM600 printers both use the same Zebra Programming  
Language (ZPL) and Zebra Programming Language II (ZPL II) as other Zebra  
Printers. ZPL II compatibility allows the ZM400 and ZM600 to seamlessly integrate  
into other existing applications using Zebra manufactured printers, including those  
who have upgraded from the S4M, and Z4Mplus (or Z6Mplus). Customers  
upgrading from the 2746e and EPL desktop printers will find the transition to the EPL  
version seamless. However, please note, customers choosing APL-I, APL-D, or EPL  
will not be compatible with other Zebra printers. These printers will be compatible  
with the legacy printer the customer is replacing.  
2. Are the ZM400/ZM600 printers Windows compatible?  
YES. All ZM400 and ZM600 printers include a Windows driver. This driver will allow  
the printer to be used in conjunction with popular Windows applications, like that of  
Microsoft® Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. The Windows driver will enable the end-  
user to design labels in their applications of choice for print output directly to the  
printer. In addition to the driver, you can download a ZebraDesignerdemonstration  
package from our Internet homepage: www.zebra.com.  
3. Can the ZM400/ZM600 printers support Asian fonts?  
YES. The ZM400 and ZM600printer support several Asian languages, including  
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Asian support is built-in to the printer, but requires  
the use of an Asian font. These fonts can be purchased from Zebra. Some fonts may  
require the 64MB flash option.  
4. Can the ZM400/ZM600 printers replace legacy Intermec and Datamax  
printers?  
YES. The ZM400 and ZM600 printers support both APL-I and APL-D, meaning that  
the ZM400 and ZM600 can be dropped into many legacy printing application without  
costly modifications to label formats. However, it is important to note that the user  
will not be able to use ZPL when purchasing an APL-I or APL-D ZM400 or ZM600  
printer.  
5. Do the ZM400/ZM600 printers have the ability to upgrade to RFID?  
YES. Both the ZM400 and ZM600 printers are RFID ready and can be easily  
upgraded to RFID whenever desired with the appropriate RFID encoder upgrade kit  
for your local geography (availability is dependent on local laws/geography).  
6. I would like to use a peel with rewind, is that available?  
The ZM400 printer supports a value peel option, which can be alone, or in  
combination with liner take-up or full roll rewind. The peel option on the ZM600 can  
be used alone or in combination with full roll rewind. Cutter options are also  
available on both the ZM400 and ZM600.

flash (2MB user available). An optional 64MB on board Flash option is also available.  
The 64MB option is a factory only option and must be selected when ordering. There  
are no PCMCIA or compact flash memory card options available for the ZM400 or  
ZM600 printer.
