Which printer do I choose?
The Z4Mplus Thermal Printer is a commercial/industrial workhorse that is
the price-performance leader in its class. The Z4Mplus Thermal Printer combines
fast print speed, quick throughput and a high duty cycle into a rugged metal full-
sized metal printer designed to enhance productivity. In addition, the Z4Mplus
printer’s multitude of optional features and flexibility allow it to support most
warehouse and business applications.
The S4M thermal printer is designed to step in when the Z4Mplus is more
than the application requires or doesn’t quite fit the application specifications. As
an example, the following are some situations where the S4M printer should be
used instead of the Z4Mplus.
• The application does not demand the high output, speed or throughput
that the Z4Mplus industrial/commercial workhorse provides
• The application does not require a high duty cycle printer
• Shorter height is required for applications such as a mobile cart or
constrained installation locations
• While a reliable metal industrial/commercial thermal printer is required,
budget is a greater concern than throughput or performance
• The media handling flexibility and options are not required for the
application
The following chart will help to qualify the S4M printer as the correct choice for a
solution.
