Key Advantages

The Zebra Z4M Plus printer offers excellent print quality with a versatile 203 dpi resolution suitable for various label sizes. Its ability to use both thermal transfer and direct thermal media increases application flexibility. The model supports multiple connectivity options, making it adaptable to multiple environments and IT infrastructures. The ZPL II programming compatibility provides advanced label design and customization capabilities. Its robust steel frame construction ensures durability in industrial settings, while easy media loading and maintenance reduce downtime. Additionally, the device supports a wide range of media types and sizes, enhancing overall usability.

Limitations

Despite its robust design, the 203 dpi print resolution may not meet the needs of applications requiring ultra-high resolution printing. The printer's print speed of up to 6 inches per second, while sufficient for many tasks, may be slower compared to newer models with higher throughput. Connectivity options do not include modern wireless standards such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting network deployment flexibility. The older hardware design means that it lacks some contemporary features like color touchscreens and advanced diagnostics. Replacement parts might become harder to source due to its discontinuation. Additionally, the printer requires specific ribbon and label supplies, which could affect operational costs.
