13 How the ZM400 and ZM600 thermal printer compare to Zebra s other printer products. Designed to enhance productivity, the versatile and cost effective ZM400 and ZM600 thermal printers provide the features, options, and performance that make them suitable for all but the most demanding applications. Both are sturdy full-size printers with rugged metal cases and frames that deliver fast print speeds, rapid throughput, and high duty cycles. The ZM400 and ZM600 represent the price-performance leaders in their class. This combination makes the ZM400 and ZM600 the ideal printers for most warehouse, industrial, and business applications. The inexpensive S4M is another robust 4-inch printer sporting a sturdy metal frame and case. While the S4M offers the same durable construction as the ZM400, its smaller feature and option set delivers slightly less performance than the ZM400. The S4M represents the ideal low cost printer for many basic industrial commercial printing applications. With its practical basic feature set, precision operation, reputation for reliability, and top-of-the-line all metal construction, the dependable 105SL thermal printer is a stalwart commercial / industrial workhorse suitable for both the precision printing of small labels as well as heavy duty industrial / commercial printing in most common applications. The full featured XilllPlus printers are Zebra s flagship printers designed to optimize high performance printing in all applications. The XilllPlus printers feature all-metal construction throughout. The XiIIIPlus printers boast a full metal case, frame, and precision machined metal spindles to deliver the ultimate in durability and long life high speed printing precision. These designs consistently deliver the highest reliability, performance, quality, and precision printing available, even when positioned in the harshest of industrial environments. The Xilllplus is able to hold tight registration on all types of media, including the slick synthetic medias commonly found on electronic circuit boards. The XilllPlus are totally uncompromised in their design and are perfectly positioned for 24/7 duty in mission-critical environments. Typical User/How to Sell Product Guide - EMEA 13 May 2007

While both printers offer setup via an LCD display, the display on the ZM400 is larger, easier to read and offers Asian language support. The S4M printer has a lower duty cycle than the ZM400, but much higher than that of a LP/TLP The S4M is the ideal printer for applications that need more than a desktop yet don t need the horsepower of a ZM400. The ZM400 printer offers significantly faster print speeds and thus faster throughput for batch printing and other high speed applications. The ZM400 printer offers greater application flexibility with regard to Media handling and resolution, supporting options such liner take-up, full media rewind, cutter and 600 dpi.

The 170XiIIIPlus printer offers significantly faster print speeds and thus faster throughput for batch printing and other high speed applications. The 170XiIIIPlus offers a higher duty cycle making it more appropriate for 24/7 mission critical applications. The 170XiIIIPlus printer s optional media spindle allows unique mounting possibilities not offered by the ZM600. By providing media back tension, the 170XiIIIPlus printer s media spindle can also help provide tighter registration when printing on tiny labels. The 170XiIIIPlus printer s adjustable print mechanism allows users to precisely dial-in a print line position for the best print quality possible. Internal Comparison Product Guide - EMEA 21 May 2007
