Description
With plug-and-play deployment, instant card feeder adjustment, intuitive icons and a graphical user interface, the ZC300 Series is easy to integrate, use and manage. Ribbon changing is virtually fool-proof, and a revolutionary hopper design makes loading and unloading cards easier than ever.
The ZC300 Series is loaded with advanced card production features. Print what you want, when you want, from just about anywhere – single or dual-sided edge-to-edge monochrome and colour cards, with new ribbons that offer speciality colours and special effects.
Even though the ZC300 Series is built for business, it has the consumer good looks required to fit in customer facing areas–from the corporate office to the university to the retail store. And the printer cover lock provides security by preventing theft of card stock and rejected cards.
The Simplest Card Printer on the Planet
Highly Graphical LED/LCD Interface
The ZC300 offers highly-intuitive well-tested icons, animations and text-based messages in your own language, allowing any user to easily understand what the printer needs and how to perform virtually any function — including how to clear a printer jam, fix a ribbon, load a ribbon or cards and more.
A New Ingenious Card Feeder Handles Varying Card Thickness On-the-Fly
The card feeder instantly adjusts to the thickness of each card — no more adjusting for different card stocks.
Painless Plug-and-Play Deployment
The ZC300 is designed to work right out of the box. There’s no time-consuming complicated set-up — just plug it in and start reaping the benefits the day your printer arrives.
Groundbreaking New Driver With a Graphical User Interface
The intuitive interface in the newly-designed driver makes it easier than ever to print cards. Settings are grouped logically into tabs where they are easily accessible with a click. A visual display of your card makes printing simple monochrome and complex color cards equally easy, allowing you to instantly see how your card looks — eliminating the time and cost to repeatedly print test cards.
Revolutionary New Hopper Design
The completely re-designed hopper makes loading and unloading cards easier than ever. With the saloon-style output doors, there’s nothing to open — just grab one card or the whole stack of cards. And the input and output hoppers have the same capacity, reducing the need to refill and empty the hoppers.
Fool-Proof Ribbon Changing
Changing a ribbon has never been so simple and uncomplicated — no instructions required. The newly designed ribbon door latch unlocks and opens in one motion. The unique door-handle style grip leaves no question about how to remove or insert the ribbon. And with embedded smartchips, you always know when to change the ribbon.
