Zebra ZC100 Overview

From Manufacturer

The ZC100 Single-Sided Card Printer from Zebra is a straightforward card printer designed for printing badges, membership cards, and guest cards. It features integrated USB 2.0 connectivity for standalone printing. The printer allows you to print up to 150 YMCKO cards per hour and up to 700 monochrome cards in the same timeframe. The printing standards include a 300 dpi resolution and a 1006 x 640 pixel image size.

The printer features 100-card capacity input and output hoppers, plus a manual card feed. Three tricolor printer status indicator lights allow you to easily determine the status of your cards. The ZC100 includes a printer cover lock, Kensington secure lock slot, printer host authentication, and data encryption for increased privacy and security.

Graphical LED/LCD Interface
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 and how setting changes impact card design.
Manual Feeder and Input/Output Hoppers
The manual card feeder instantly adjusts to the thickness of each card—no more adjusting for different card stocks. The input and output hoppers hold 100 cards, and with the saloon-style output hopper doors, there's nothing to open—just grab one card or the whole stack.
Fool-Proof Ribbon Changing
The 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 smart chips, you always know when to change the ribbon
Computer Connectivity
Connect to one computer through the onboard USB to create a standalone printing station.
Security Features
Advanced security features enable printer-to-host authentication to prevent printing from unauthorized applications or devices. Government-grade AES encryption protects the most sensitive data during printing, such as account numbers. Meanwhile, the printer cover lock prevents the theft of card stock and rejected cards, and the Kensington lock slot adds more physical security.
Multiple Language Options
Workers can interact with the ZC300 in their native tongue with support for multiple languages on the LCD display and in the driver, including English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), German, Polish, Russian, simplified Chinese, and Arabic.
