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

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 ZebraDesigner™ demonstration
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.

9. How much memory is standard on the ZM400/ZM600 printers?
The ZM400 and ZM600 printers come standard with 16MB DRAM memory and 8MB
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
