Zebra ZC300 Overview

From Manufacturer

The ZC300 Single-Sided ID Card Printer from Zebra is a straightforward card printer designed for printing identity, membership, and credit/debit cards. It features integrated USB/Ethernet connectivity for standalone printing and comes with a camera for card photos. The 300 dpi printer produces up to 200 YMCKO full-color or 900 monochrome cards per hour with push-button simplicity. The input and output hoppers hold 100 cards, and there's a manual card feed slot. A graphical interface makes operation easy, and the printer's modest footprint and stylish good looks make it suitable for any office environment.

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.
Magnetic Stripe Encoding
Create swipe-and-go magnetic stripe cards with the hi/lo coercivity, three-track encoder.
USB and Ethernet Connectivity
Connect to one computer through the onboard USB to create a standalone printing station. Use the integrated Ethernet connection to give your whole network access.
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.
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, providing the security required for installation in public-facing areas.
