Q &A
Product Guide - EMEA 24 May 2007
VII. Q & A
1. Are the ZM400/ZM600 printers compatible with other Zebra printers?
YES.
The ZM400 and ZM600 printers both use the same Zebra Programming
Language (ZPL) and Zebra Programming Language II (ZPL II) as other Zebra
Printers. ZPL II compatibility allows the ZM400 and ZM600 to seamlessly integrate
into other existing applications using Zebra manufactured printers, including those
who have upgraded from the S4M, and Z4Mplus (or Z6Mplus). Customers
upgrading from the 2746e and EPL desktop printers will find the transition to the EPL
version seamless. However, please note, customers choosing APL-I, APL-D, or EPL
will not be compatible with other Zebra printers. These printers will be compatible
with the legacy printer the customer is replacing.
2. Are the ZM400/ZM600 printers Windows compatible?
YES.
All ZM400 and ZM600 printers include a Windows driver. This driver will allow
the printer to be used in conjunction with popular Windows applications, like that of
Microsoft
®
Word
™
, Excel
™
, or PowerPoint
™
. The Windows driver will enable the end-
user to design labels in their applications of choice for print output directly to the
printer. In addition to the driver, you can download a ZebraDesigner
™
demonstration
package from our Internet homepage:
www.zebra.com.
3. Can the ZM400/ZM600 printers support Asian fonts?
YES. The ZM400 and ZM600printer support several Asian languages, including
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Asian support is built-in to the printer, but requires
the use of an Asian font. These fonts can be purchased from Zebra. Some fonts may
require the 64MB flash option.
4. Can the ZM400/ZM600 printers replace legacy Intermec and Datamax
printers?
YES. The ZM400 and ZM600 printers support both APL-I and APL-D, meaning that
the ZM400 and ZM600 can be dropped into many legacy printing application without
costly modifications to label formats. However, it is important to note that the user
will not be able to use ZPL when purchasing an APL-I or APL-D ZM400 or ZM600
printer.
5. Do the ZM400/ZM600 printers have the ability to upgrade to RFID?
YES.
Both the ZM400 and ZM600 printers are RFID ready and can be easily
upgraded to RFID whenever desired with the appropriate RFID encoder upgrade kit
for your local geography (availability is dependent on local laws/geography).
6. I would like to use a peel with rewind, is that available?
The ZM400 printer supports a value peel option, which can be alone, or in
combination with liner take-up or full roll rewind. The peel option on the ZM600 can
be used alone or in combination with full roll rewind. Cutter options are also
available on both the ZM400 and ZM600.
