Compared to modern thermal printers, the Zebra S4M Stripe’s 203 dpi resolution may be insufficient for highly detailed graphics or small font requirements. The 8 MB RAM can limit complex label designs or large data storage. Although it supports USB connectivity, newer interfaces such as Ethernet or wireless were not standard on this model. The printer is relatively bulky and heavier than newer models, impacting portability. Media handling mechanisms are designed for standardized label rolls and may not accommodate all custom media types. Since this model has been discontinued, replacement parts and technical support can be limited over time.
