Key Advantages

The Zebra ZM400 offers robust construction suitable for demanding industrial environments. It provides high-speed printing up to 10 ips, increasing operational efficiency. The device supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing methods, offering versatility for various applications. Extensive connectivity options including USB, serial, and parallel interfaces facilitate easy integration. Its substantial memory capacity enables storage of complex label formats internally. The printer supports multiple printing languages, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of software and systems.

Limitations

The ZM400 printer's metal build, while durable, results in a heavier device that may not be easily portable. Its print resolution of 203 dpi may not be sufficient for applications requiring very high-definition barcode printing. The device uses a ribbon-based system which entails ongoing consumable costs. Modern connectivity such as Ethernet or wireless options are not present as standard and may require additional modules. The printer's design and user interface may feel outdated compared to newer models with touchscreen controls. Firmware updates are less frequent due to its age, limiting new feature additions.
