VIII. Q & A
1. Is the S4M printer compatible with other Zebra printers?
YES.
The S4M printer uses the same Zebra Programming Language (ZPL)
and Zebra Programming Language II (ZPL II) as other Zebra Printers. ZPL II
compatibility allows the S4M to seamlessly integrate into other existing
applications using Zebra manufactured printers, including those who have
upgraded from the
Stripe
. 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 S4M printers Windows compatible?
YES.
All S4M 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 S4M support Asian fonts?
YES.
The S4M printer supports 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 S4M replace legacy Intermec and Datamax printers?
YES.
The S4M printer supports both APL-I and APL-D, meaning that the
S4M 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 S4M printer.
5. Does S4M have the ability to upgrade to RFID?
The S4M printer is not RFID ready and will not be able to upgrade to RFID.
6. I would like to use a peel with rewind, is that available?
The S4M printer supports a value peel option, which is label peel without a
liner take-up. Peel with rewind and cutter are options available on the
Z4Mplus.
