THE SIMPLEST CARD
PRINTER ON THE PLANET
Highly graphical LED/LCD interface
The ZC300 oers 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.
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.
correctly and in the proper place. And with
embedded smartchips, you always know when
to change the ribbon.
Eortless manual card feed
Manually feeding a card can be complicated
— we made it simple with a lightpipe that
guides the user through the manual feeding
process, the same way that automatic teller
machines guide users through their interaction.
We speak your language
Workers can interact with the ZC300 in
their native tongue with support for multiple
languages on the LCD display and in the
driver — English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese
(Brazilian), German, Polish, Russian, Simplified
Chinese and Arabic.
THE FEATURES YOU NEED TO
PRINT THE CARDS YOU WANT
Flexible card design and easy printing
With the ZC300, you can print single or
dual-sided monochrome and color cards.
And no matter what you are printing, with
advanced features, you can print dual-sided
color cards with complex artwork just as easily
as a basic single-sided black and white card.
Multiple encoding options
Whether you want to create swipe-and-go
magnetic stripe or contactless cards, with
the ZC300, it’s easy. Right out of the box,
you can print cards with magnetic stripes.
And with the ZIP Pocket and our new
Software Development Kits (SDKs), it’s easy
to integrate support for practically any 3rd
party contactless encoder.
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 and how setting changes
impact card design — eliminating the time
and cost to repeatedly print test cards.
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 guessing
and adjusting for dierent card stocks.
Revolutionary new hopper design
The completely re-designed hopper makes
loading and unloading cards easier than ever.
With saloon-style output doors, there’s nothing
to open — just grab one card or a 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. The snug-fit design has no play or
adjacent open areas, so there’s never a
question about whether the ribbon is installed
