Hi its Camille with POSGuys.com. Today we're going to take a look at the Zebra ZXP Series
7 card printer. You guys know, possibly anyways, that I love card printers. So we are going
to do a quick run-through just so you can see the ins and outs of this machine.
This is where you load your cards. Just like this, this slides that way and your cards
pop in right there. This snaps in place. You can hear its nice strong snap. Closes up.
Fits about 200 cards. Nice size!
LED display with menu buttons, return, print test cards, etcetera. You can find your IP
and I am going to say select return to go back.
This is your media bay. Pop it open with that button. A nice new feature on this one for
me anyways is this drawer where you pull the media out, like its a little drawer. This
saves on cut fingers from having to stick your fingers in the machine and pull out media
that is stuck in there tight. The media itself which is this CMYK ribbon pulls out just like
I did right there. you don't have to do any major snapping or pulling you just pick it
up. Look at that I can do it really fast.
To put it back in there you... make sure it is lined up with the axles, the inside rotational
pivots there. Shut it nice and firm. See how I did not quite get it right there. It must
have something blocking it. So pull it out make sure that nothing is jamming it. Aww
I am just kind of pathetic today aren't I?
I usually do not have this much trouble shutting it but there it is. There you go! That is
a fully closed media drawer. This comes down, oh before I shut it this
is your print head right in here. So the print heats up the ribbon and transfers it to the
card.
This is closing it up and right there is where your cards come out. If you listen closely
right now you can hear it is checking the printer ribbon. Getting everything lined up
making sure that it is working. Do you hear it spooling?
This card output holds about 100 cards which is great if you are doing high volume and
will work fine if you just need one or two like you're printing student IDs on the fly.
My favorite feature on this printer is its composite black printing. What that means
is if you have an image made of CMYK like those panels we saw earlier which were Cyan
Magenta Yellow blacK then what it does it will automatically put the black on the image.
A lot of printers will just do CMY which unfortunately results in a faded black.
One downside of this printer is that while it can print on regular card-stock just fine...
yeah we'll put it in there. See that is a 100 cards. Right there. While it can print
on regular card stock just fine it can't do keychain cards. Now mind you, the Zebra ZXP
Series 7 can't do keychain cards so see if Zebra has any other options. They might have
some that can handle it. Keychain cards come like this. When you print on them they are
three up and they snap apart like this. That is your end keychain size. So that is it!
This is a Zebra ZXP Series 7! A really nice, NICE quality card printer. I would not suggest
doing edge to edge printing but I really do love it otherwise. If you are interested in
purchasing it or you would like more information please contact us at POSGuys.com. We do not
