ZM400 vs. Stripe S600

•While the S600 printer is made entirely of plastic, the ZM400 printer is more robust containing a metal frame and case ideally suited for many applications, including product ID, receiving, shipping, and compliance labeling.

•The ZM400 printer offers a larger selection of connectivity options than the S600, including internal Ethernet and wireless.

•The ZM400 printer has a much faster print speed and duty cycle than the S600.

•The footprint of the ZM400 printer, while slighter larger than the S600 is still small enough to be a good fit for certain space constrained environments such as mobile carts.

•The ZM400 printer’s LCD and quick change platen offer quicker setup time and easy maintenance resulting in more time to print labels and be productive.
