S4M vs. DATAMAX M-
Class
• While the M-4206 is
made of plastic, the
S4M printer is more
robust containing a
metal frame and case
ideally suited for many
applications, including
product ID, receiving,
shipping, and
compliance labeling.
• The S4M printer quickly
delivers labels with no
waiting at up to 6 inches
per second. Its
competitive processing
and printing throughput
can support even the
most complex labels.
• The S4M printer offers a
larger selection of
connectivity options
than the M-Class,
including wireless.
• The S4M printer’s front
control panel features a
streamlined menu for
simple navigation.
• The S4M printer is easy
to integrate in existing
applications as it
operates in APL-D, as
well as ZPL, APL-I and
EPL.
• The S4M printer is well
suited to compete
against the M-4206 and
M-4306
• The Z4Mplus printer is
an ideal weapon to
compete against the M-
4208 when price is less
of an issue.
