Zebra’ s best-in-class Z Series printers just got better! The ZM600 includes additional productivity-enhancing features and modern, flexible network connectivity for easy system integration in most manufacturing, warehousing and business applications. This industrial/ commercial workhorse also delivers efficient 6-inch-wide labeling thanks to its quick throughput and 10 inches-per-second print speed.

Built RFID Ready ( upgrade kit for RFID enablement not yet available in North America) and offering a multitude of options, the ZM600 is upgradeable to grow with changing needs. Plus, design enhancements make this new-generation Z Series printer even easier to operate, load, and maintain.
