Xi4™ Printers: New Levels in High Performance
 
If your business requires high-performance printing, Zebra's next generation of Xi™ series printers are your smartest investment. Xi4 printers ensure lower total cost ownership—first, by delivering the hallmarks of Zebra's legendary built-to-last, all-metal Xi™ series:

  • trouble-free, 24/7 operation for reduced downtime and maintenance costs;
  • fast print speeds for greater productivity;
  • and consistently outstanding print quality, delivered over the long life of the printer via Zebra's durable metal print mechanism.
Second, Xi4 printers build upon this legacy with new advanced and flexible features that make them faster and easier to operate, customize, maintain, and integrate than previous Xi generations.
  • Up to 40 percent faster print speeds on the 110Xi4 and the 140Xi4 improve batch printing and print-and-apply productivity. At 14"/356 mm per second, they provide one of the fastest technologies on the market.
  • Larger, brighter, easier-to-read LCD offers an option for customizing menu content to your needs. With support for a wide variety of languages, the Xi4 is easy to use around the world.
  • Xi4 printers offer versatile connectivity choices for easy integration, such as included internal ZebraNet®10/100 PrintServer (Ethernet) with faster data transfer rates.
  • Advanced ribbon- and media-low alerts help keep your printers printing with maximum productivity.
All these Xi4 features help you stay focused on your business, not your printers. Click here to learn more.

New! Item-Level Tagging Benefits from Our RZ™ RFID Printer/Encoders
 
If you're moving towards implementing item-level RFID tracking, now your Zebra® RZ400™/RZ600™ printer/encoder can print and encode the small UHF RFID smart labels you need. Simply download the latest RFID firmware upgrade for your current RZ400 or RZ600 from our Web site. Newly purchased models come with it installed.

Closed-loop, item-level applications like work-in-process tracking, package validation, product authentication, retail inventory management, and document tracking can bring faster return on investment than mandated supply-chain compliance applications.

And with up to 15 percent more labels on a roll, smaller smart labels benefit you through lower cost per label, fewer media-roll changes, and faster printer/encoder throughput. If you don't need to print labels, our direct inlay encoding capability means even more media savings. For more on item-level tracking, download our white paper Unchaining the Value of RFID: How closed-loop systems provide flexibility and fast ROI. To get the new RFID firmware, click here.
