The Zebra ZM600 offers additional productivity-enhancing features over the ZM400, as well as modern, flexible network connectivity for easy system integration in most manufacturing, warehousing and business applications. This industrial/commercial printer accommodates the 6-inch label width because of its quick throughput and a print speed of 10 inches per second.
The ZM600 is RFID-ready (upgrade kit for RFID enablement not yet available in North America) and offers a variety of upgrade options to adapt to your changing needs as your company grows. Another important feature of this printer is that it is easier to maintain and load than its predecessors.
