Zebra ZM400: industrial printer for high-performance labelling
The Zebra ZM400 is a thermal printer designed for industrial environments where reliability, precision and flexibility are essential. It is aimed at professionals in logistics, manufacturing, the pharmaceutical sector and laboratories who need equipment capable of producing clear, durable labels that comply with current standards. With its robust metal construction and high-quality components, the ZM400 can withstand the rigours of intensive use while ensuring fast and accurate printing.
The ZM400 can produce labels with clear barcodes, text and graphics, even on complex media. It accepts a wide range of consumables, including RFID labels, linerless tags, continuous or pre-cut media. Its media loading system is designed for easy handling and reduced downtime. The user can adjust the print head pressure according to the media width, ensuring consistent quality and minimal component wear.
The ZM400 also stands out for its extensive connectivity. It comes standard with USB, RS-232 serial and IEEE 1284 parallel interfaces and can be equipped with an Ethernet or Wi-Fi print server. This versatility makes it easy to integrate into existing IT systems, whether local networks or cloud solutions. It supports multiple printing languages, including ZPL II, XML and EPL (for 203 dpi models), enabling compatibility with a wide range of management and traceability software.
The printer offers an intuitive user interface with an LCD screen and navigation buttons. Settings can be configured directly from the control panel or via software commands. It offers diagnostic, automatic calibration and preventive maintenance functions, allowing you to monitor the condition of the print head and anticipate interventions. Users can print configuration labels, sensor profiles and quality tests to optimise settings.
Thermal printing for demanding environments
The ZM400 is designed to operate in a variety of conditions, with a temperature range of 5 to 40°C and relative humidity of 20 to 85%. It can be installed on a workbench, trolley or integrated into a production line. Its metal chassis ensures excellent stability and protection against shocks. It is compatible with CE and FCC compliance standards and can be used in environments subject to strict regulatory requirements, such as pharmaceutical laboratories or ISO-certified sites.
Compliant labelling and traceability with the Zebra ZM400
The ZM400 is particularly suited to traceability, product identification, inventory management and logistics tracking applications. It can print labels that comply with GS1 standards, FDA requirements or internal laboratory specifications. Its automatic calibration system ensures accurate detection of inter-labels, black marks or notches. It can be configured to print in direct thermal or thermal transfer mode, depending on requirements.
Built-in diagnostic functions detect sensor errors, communication problems or printing defects. The ZM400 is compatible with ZebraNet software, enabling centralised management of printers on the network. It can also be integrated into ERP or MES systems to automate online labelling.
