I wrote a program using Java to print the contents of a jpanel to a zebra label print zm400. Each time i get Java print exception that says " page's height is too small". i tried every combination of height and widths but i think there is some other problems regarding this issue.

SOURCE: Print Width Issue

the issue you are having is DPI related, when data is sent to the printer and rendered it is dot for dot, so a Z4M 203dpi printer has about 800dots on the printhead where your printer has about 1200dots on the printhead. so when your software prints to dot800 thinking it is the edge of the label it is infact at 60%. there sould be an option in the software to configure around this. if not the is an option in the printer to convert DPI setting ie 150>300 or 100>200 and so on. but i don't thing you can make a 300dpi print as 203dpi


best of luck

Your printer is not sensing the gap between two labels.Please try calibrating the printer for the gap.
Switch ON the printer while holding FEED key down, on printer start feeding label realese the FEED Key.
Printer will stop feeding paper after printing SELF TEST, Once again press FEED key for 3 seconds. Printer will enter into normal Mode.
Check now.

I am surprised that you are using that sequence of buttons to solve this problem. I am pretty sure that they want you to go into the "Media Sensor Calibration" setup in the config menu. It is a bit more complicated than what you have described. I also believe that the size of the gap on two of your labels might be out of tolerance (they are usually 1/8" gaps between the labels). The black marks are a problem for the transmissive sensors. You may need to move the transmissive media gap sensor (remember it has two parts: upper and lower). I would usually setup mine for a place beyond the black mark so that you are looking at just the white paper.

To start out:
1. Load the backing of a 6" strip of media (no label attached).
2. Remove a ribbon (if you usually use one).
3. Close the printhead.
4. Press SETUP/EXIT and then NEXT/SAVE until "Media and Ribbon Calibrate" appears.
5. Press "+" to start the calibration procedure. You should see the "Load Backing" in the LCD Display. You already have the backing loaded so continue to the next step.
6. Press "+" to answer the message and the next screen should say, "Remove Ribbon". You have also removed the ribbon.
7. Press the "+" to continue. You should see the screen say, "Calibrating Please Wait". After the sensors are setup by the machine a new screen should appear, "Reload All".
8. Open the printhead, and move the labels until they are loaded correctly to print. Smooth out the ribbon and load it correctly.
9. Withe media and ribbon now loaded, press "+" to continue and the machine should say, "Media and Ribbon Calibrate".
10. Press the Setup/Exit button once. It should say, "Save Changes Permanent". Press Next/Save to finish the process.
11. Do a normal calibration of your stock and print a label.

You are done. The machine will run for the labels you have setup the sensors for. Unfortunately, you must do this for each of the media types. To automate this, you could run a Configuration listing, capture the settings you just created for each type of label. Take these to a programmer to have them send the setup to the machine before the job. This is beyond the scope of this type support to really help you.

I agree with Dustproof's suggestion regarding setting defaults. After you do that, you will need to set up your firmware and driver for the correct density, speed, media handling (tear-off vs. peel - labels with gaps or black marks) , etc. If your driver does not relfect the same settings that you have saved in the printer's firmware, the driver will send commands to the printer that will change its settings. Lastly, you will need to calibrate the printer to the media that you are using. An easy way to do this on the ZM400 is to set the power on setting in the LCD menu to calibrate and the head close setting to feed, save these settings in memory and then reboot the printer. This way, you will only need to reboot your printer to calibrate when there is a problem or if you change media types. The feed setting on head close will make sure that your label advances to the the next gap or mark if you open the printhead.
If all ese fails, call Zebra tech support (800) 423 0422 and open up a support case. It is possible that the media sensor or media led is not working properly requiring that your printer be sent in for repair.

SOURCE: como cambiar ip de zebra zm400 desde el panel

you need to connect with some network to the ip adress coming on the setings, if you dont connect with network, that function not apper.
If connect, you be aple to change to IP estactic and the Gateway and the subnet mask.
Dont forget to save.
