ZC100 CARD PRINTER

ZC100 Card Printer

NEXT GENERATION SIMPLICITY AND SECURITY IN A ‘FIT EVERYWHERE’ DESIGN

Whether you need to print single-sided employee identity badges or membership and event guest cards, card printing is a crucial
aspect of your business. Deployment flexibility and the time it takes to print and manage your card printing solutions all have an
impact on your business — from your brand image to staff productivity, overall operational efficiency and operating costs. Now,
there’s a new kind of card printer designed to address it all — the ZC100. You get groundbreaking simple operation and the slimmest
fit-everywhere design, along with a toolbox of additional capabilities that make the ZC100 even easier to integrate, use and manage.
The ZC100 — when only the best single-sided card printer will do.

ELEGANTLY ENGINEERED FOR
GAMECHANGING SIMPLICITY

Painless plug-and-play deployment

The ZC100 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.

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 dierent card stocks.

The most intuitive LEDs

With our well-tested intuitive icons, a quick
glance is all it will take for your users to see
the status of the ZC100.

Innovative 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 allows
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.

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.
Unlock and open the newly designed ribbon
door latch in one motion. The unique door­handle 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 correctly and in the proper
place. And with embedded smartchips, you
always know when to change the ribbon.

Eortless 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 ZC100 in their
native tongue with driver support for multiple
languages — English, Italian, Spanish,
Portuguese (Brazilian), German, Polish,
Russian, Simplified Chinese and Arabic.

GROUNDBREAKING ‘FITS
EVERYWHERE’ DESIGN

Good looks that fit in anywhere

Even though the ZC100 is built for business, it
has the consumer good looks required to fit in
customer facing areas, from the retail store to
the hospital admission desk.

Sized to fit wherever you need printing

Your printer shouldn’t dictate where you
can issue cards — it should fit wherever
card printing is needed. From the minimal
footprint and the slimmest profile to the
lowest clearance in this printer class, the
ZC100 was designed to fit in the most
possible places — including under a
counter or shelf.

All the connectivity options you need

Connect to one computer through the
onboard USB to create a standalone printing
station. Or, add optional Ethernet or Wi-Fi
to give everyone who needs card printing
instant access, maximizing printer usage.
And improve deployment flexibility with Wi-Fi
— the time and cost to run network cabling to
your printers is eliminated.

Printer cover lock

The printer cover lock prevents the thef t of
card stock, providing the security required
to install in public-facing areas.

ADVANCED SECURITY

Printer and host authentication

Advanced security features enable
printer-to-host authentication to prevent
printing from unauthorized applications
or devices.

AES data encryption

Government-grade encryption protects
the most sensitive data during printing,
such as account numbers.

FAST AND FLEXIBLE PRINTING

Fast single-sided color and
monochrome printing

We took a good thing and made it better.
The ZC100 prints up to 30% faster in
monochrome and 15% faster in color than
its predecessor, Zebra’s ZXP Series 1
card printers.

Basic encoding options

Whether you are printing employee
badges, ID cards, season passes and
membership cards or credit and debit
cards, you can choose the encoding
option of your choice. Add a ‘swipe-and­go’ magnetic stripe when you print cards.
Or use the ZIP Pocket with our new
Software Development Kits (SDKs) to
easily add a third party contactless
encoder to create ‘pass through’
contactless cards.
