i platform on the fundamental P310 mechanics, we’ve made the best
The angle is on purpose! This design features an incredibly innovative method of using the card stack itself as the card weight. No more integrated card weights or even the bulky external card weight. Load the cards at an angle and watch them feed continuously. You simply can’t find a printer with a more reliable feeder in this class of product.
Wide band feeder system
You can always trust in Zebra to make the best even better. In addition to the angled design, the feeder uses a belt system, as opposed to the previous roller system of the P310, which covers a greater surface area of the card in order to feed every card of every size, hassle-free.
Printhead Bracket opens more than twice as wide!
The newly re-designed printhead bracket now allows over 2.5 times as much clearance, as compared to the P310, for easier ribbon loading and printhead cleaning. You can load the ribbon without threading it under the printhead.
