ZM400™ and ZM600™—Flexing New Powers

The ZM400 and ZM600 printers bring added flexibility to the popular

Z Series platform, which has always stood out from the competition in terms of both performance and price. With 10-inches-per-second print speed, industry-leading throughput, rugged reliability, and a wide selection of options, these full-sized metal printers enhance productivity in tough environments and demanding applications.

Better Connected for a Connected World

The new Z Series printers better connect with most warehouse/ manufacturing and business applications. The ZM400 and ZM600 are better connected to your network—through USB 2.0, 802.11b/g secure wireless, or our new ZebraNet ® 10/100 Print Server that allows simultaneous parallel and Ethernet connectivity. They’re better connected to your applications—with RFID Ready investment protection

(upgrade kit for RFID enablement not yet available in North America), choice of print resolution including 600 dpi, and XML-Enabled printing as a standard feature. And they’re better connected to your needs—with easy setup via a large, easy-to-read front panel that includes Asian-language support; easy loading of supplies; and easy maintenance with quick-changing printheads and platens.

On top of the hard-working durability and easy use of these die-cast metal frame printers, the speed-optimized

ZM400 and ZM600 are perfect for:

• Work in process

• Order fulfillment

• Compliance labeling

• Distribution

• Warehouse management

• Shipping/Receiving

• Hospitality/Transportation ticketing

• Pharmacy/Healthcare
