S4M vs. Z4Mplus
• Both the Z4Mplus and
the S4M printer are
reliable, metal printers
ideally suited for many
applications, including
product ID, receiving,
shipping, and
compliance labeling
• Both the Z4Mplus and
the S4M offer a large
selection of connectivity
options, including
internal Ethernet and
wireless
• The S4M printer has a
lower duty cycle than
the Z4Mplus, but much
higher than that of a
LP/TLP 2844. The S4M
is the ideal printer for
applications that need
more than a desktop,
yet don’t need the
horsepower of a
Z4Mplus
• The S4M printer is
slightly smaller than the
Z4Mplus making it a
good fit for certain
space constrained
environments such as
mobile carts
• The Z4Mplus printer
offers faster print speed
and thus faster
throughput for batch
printing and other high
speed applications
• The Z4Mplus printer
offers greater
application flexibility with
regard to Media
handling, supporting
options such as linear
take-up, full media
rewind and cutter.
