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.
