Key Advantages

The Zebra ZM400 offers high print speed and dependable print quality for industrial applications. Its modular attachments like peeler and rewinder significantly enhance workflow efficiency. Multiple connection ports including parallel interface allow seamless integration with legacy and modern systems. Advanced control panel with an LCD interface simplifies operation and setup. The use of both direct thermal and thermal transfer technologies provides flexibility in media choice. Robust construction ensures durability and reliability in harsh working environments.

Limitations

The ZM400's print resolution is limited to 203 dpi, which may not suffice for ultra-fine barcode requirements. Its relatively large footprint might be challenging for small workspaces. The parallel interface, while useful for compatibility, is less common in newer computer systems, necessitating adapters or alternative connections. The device requires regular maintenance to avoid print head wear and media jams. It may not support the latest wireless connectivity standards without additional modules. Firmware updates and driver support have dwindled due to the model's age.
