The ZT200 Series is intended for light industrial and commercial applications. The target customer
applications will have lower print volume requirements (less than 2000 labels per day), not change
labels very frequently and desire a simple, easy to use printer.
What are the differences between the ZT200 series and the current S4M?
The “box specs” of the ZT printers are not significantly different from the S4M. However, a key element
of the underlying design philosophy of the ZT Series of printers is the inclusion of features to make the
printers more appealing to end users. The design team conducted user interviews to determine the key
customer pain points. This input was used as the basis for the design changes, focusing on addressing
customer needs and concerns with existing printers. The ZT series of printers are more user friendly
than current printers with simpler use and maintenance. This is an important competitive differentiator
that leverages and builds on Zebras industry leading reputation for quality and durability.

When will the ZT200 series ship with EPL?
This will be added in early Q3 of 2012.
Can the ZT200 series directly replace installed S4M printers?
Yes, the ZT230 is a direct replacement for the S4M. The ZT220 can also replace the S4M but the ZT220
has a smaller ribbon (300M) and does not contain the LCD interface.
Can the ZT200 series directly replace legacy Stripe printers (S600 and
S400)?
Yes, although the S600 (like the S4M) had a standard length 450M ribbon.
