Free XML-Enabled Printing on Z Series Metal Printers Expands Our XML Offerings

Delivering the best performance for the price, our rugged, metal Z4Mplus™ and Z6Mplus™ printers enhance productivity and offer the versatility to fulfill most printing applications.

And now, the new, free XML-enabled printing option on our Z Series printers enables you to integrate label printing into your XML-based business application with direct-connect simplicity. In fact, we developed our XML-enabled printers in collaboration with Oracle to allow printing directly from Oracle’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA).

If you have a mission-critical or print-and-apply printing application, consider our Xi™ series high-performance printers or PAX™ series print engines. Both now offer their current XML-enabled printing option at no additional charge.

Finally, our brand-new ZebraDesigner™ for XML label design software adds even more value to our Z Series and other XML-enabled printing solutions.

XML-enabled printing solutions are available through Zebra XML authorized resellers. Call +1 800 423 0442 to learn more.
