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/ZM600
Q &A
Product Guide - EMEA 24 May 2007
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
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.

7. What supplies are supported?
Visit www.zebra.com for the listings of supplies that can be used with the ZM400 or
ZM600 printer.
8. What connectivity options are available?
Both printers come standard with Parallel, Serial and USB 2.0 ports. Other options
include internal Ethernet via ZebraNet PrintServer 10/100baseT PrintServer and
802.11b/g wireless PCMCIA card socket.
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
ZM600 printer.

Preventative Maintenance
Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a regular basis using
standard Zebra printer parts and cleaning supplies. Consult your
User’s Guide for further details.
• Cleaning:
The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and if necessary, a
mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner. Interior components
(print head, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar, ribbon and
media paths) are cleaned with alcohol or blown air to remove
any particles.
• Lubrication:
All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require
additional lubrication.
• Print Registration:
Media registration and minimum label length are affected by
media type and width, ribbon type and print speed. Performance
improves as these factors are optimized. Zebra recommends
always qualifying any application with thorough testing.
• Print Head Replacement:
For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance
across our product line, Zebra strongly recommends the use of
genuine Zebra™ supplies as part of the total solution.
Specifically, the ZM400 and ZM600 printers are designed to
work only with genuine Zebra™ printheads, thus maximizing
safety and print quality.

Preventative Maintenance
Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a regular basis using
standard Zebra printer parts and cleaning supplies. Consult your
User’s Guide for further details.
• Cleaning:
The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and if necessary,
a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner. Interior
components (print head, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar,
ribbon and media paths) are cleaned with alcohol or blown air
to remove any particles.
• Lubrication:
All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require
additional lubrication.
• Print Registration:
Media registration and minimum label length are affected by
media type and width, ribbon type and print speed.
Performance improves as these factors are optimized. Zebra
recommends always qualifying any application with thorough
testing.
• Print Head Replacement:
For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance
across our product line, Zebra strongly recommends the use of
genuine Zebra™ supplies as part of the total solution.
Specifically, the ZM400 and ZM600 printers are designed to
work only with genuine Zebra™ printheads, thus maximizing
safety and print quality.
