S4M vs. CAB A3
• The CAB printer offers
faster print speed and
thus faster throughput
for batch printing and
other high speed
applications
• The CAB A3 offers
greater application
flexibility with regard to
Media handling,
supporting options such
as linear take-up, full
media rewind and cutter
• While the CAB A3 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.
• Both the CAB A3 and
the S4M printer offer a
large selection of
connectivity options,
including internal
Ethernet and wireless
• When compared with
the CAB A3, the
performance, features,
and price make the S4M
printer an outstanding
value.
• The Z4Mplus is well
suited to compete
against the CAB A3, but
the S4M printer is ideal
when budget is tight.
