Key Advantages

The Zebra S4M provides high-resolution print quality at 203 dpi or optionally 300 dpi, ensuring clear and precise labels. Its modular design makes maintenance and part replacement straightforward, minimizing downtime. The inclusion of multiple connectivity options, including optional LAN, serial, and USB, enhances versatility for networked and standalone operations. The printer supports advanced label formatting and programming with Zebra's EPL and ZPL languages. The rugged metal construction extends printer life under heavy usage, making it ideal for industrial settings. Additionally, it supports various barcode symbologies, making it compatible with diverse tracking and inventory systems.

Limitations

While the S4M offers strong functionality, it is relatively heavy and bulky compared to desktop printers, limiting portability. The print speed, maxing at 5 ips, may be slower when compared to newer models designed for high-speed production environments. The printer's firmware and interface may have limited compatibility with modern network protocols without additional upgrades. The device lacks a color printing option, restricting output to monochrome labels only. Some users report that the early models had limited memory, constraining label complexity without expansion. The configuration and setup require technical knowledge, which might be a barrier for general office use without proper training.
