S4M vs. TEC B-SX4T
• With a 64MB flash option,
the S4M offers more
memory for storing fonts,
graphics and formats.
• The S4M printer’s front
control panel features a
streamlined menu for simple
navigation, while its proven
side-loading design
eliminates label and ribbon
threading for quick, easy
loading
• The B-SX4T offers greater
application flexibility with
regard to Media handling,
supporting options such as
linear take-up, rewind and
cutter.
• Both the B-SX4T and the
S4M printer offer a large
selection of connectivity
options, including internal
Ethernet and wireless.
• When compared with the B-
SX4T, the performance,
features, and price make the
S4M printer an outstanding
value
.
• Zebra's ZebraLink Solutions
suite of networking,
software, firmware, and
printer management
products is designed for
ease of integration and use.
The Z4Mplus is well suited to
compete against the B-
SX4T, but the S4M printer is
ideal when budget is tight.
