HC100™
Patient I.D. Solution

Have You Thought About What Laser Wristband Printing Is
Really Costing You?

At first glance, laser may seem like an adequate print technology for
wristbands. But, in reality, the hidden costs as well as staff

inefficiencies and frustrations add up fast:

• With laser, the adhesive backing on the wristband and label
forms can ooze and cause performance problems for the
printer. This leads to increased help desk calls and higher
maintenance costs.

• Laser toner is expensive, and more toner is used to print
high-density bar codes than plain text.

• Laser wristband printing can be time consuming and labor
intensive. With some laser bands, the staff must load forms into a
special tray, print labels, apply a label to the band, and then fold a
laminate coating over the band to protect the bar code image.

• Many laser forms include extra wristbands and labels that are not
needed and must be destroyed under HIPAA guidelines.

Zebra’s new HC100 Patient I.D. Solution overcomes all of these
obstacles. Now your hospital staff can produce and attach a long­lasting, antimicrobial-coated thermal wristband in just two steps. No
wasted time with the cumbersome wristband assembly many laser
solutions require. No jammed laser printers. No toner. No ribbon. It’s
that simple.

Introducing the HC100 Patient I.D. Solution: an Easy and
Cost-Effective Way to Improve Patient Safety

This all-in-one print solution combines the reliable HC100 direct thermal
printer with easy-to-load cartridges containing the only antimicrobial-coated
wristbands on the market—Zebra’s Z-Band® wristbands.

There’s minimal training required! Pop the wristband cartridge into the
printer and the HC100 automatically detects the wristband size, immediately
calibrates, and prints. You get long-lasting wristbands with bar codes
that remain scannable for longer than the average patient stay. When the
cartridges are empty, return them for recycling.

For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance, the HC100
printer is designed to work only with cartridges of genuine Zebra™ Z-Band
wristbands.

Zebra partners with the leading Admissions Discharge Transfer (ADT)
