CAMARILLO, Calif., January 17, 2000 — Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA), the worldwide leader in bar code and plastic card on-demand printing solutions, today introduced its new Eltron P310F monochrome plastic card printer. the Eltron P310F further strengthens the product line with the most affordable, cost-effective monochrome card printer on the market.
"The P310F is ideally positioned to capitalize on the explosive growth in instant issuance plastic card printing," said Holly Sacks, vice president of marketing for Zebra's Eltron Card Printers. "We are poised for this expansion with a quick low-cost printer with superior print resolution. The 300 dpi is perfect for the printing of machine-readable bar codes."
Applications for the P310F include personalized customer loyalty cards, ID cards, club membership cards, durable business cards, and luggage tags - virtually any application where a single-sided personalized plastic card is a better solution.
The small footprint design of the Eltron P310F, perfect for desktop and countertop applications, provides ultra-sharp 300 dpi print resolution for precise, readable bar codes, graphics, and text. It also incorporates a 32-bit processor, 2 Mbytes of image memory and 512Kbytes of Flash memory, in a rugged polycarbonate frame that houses a 1,500-card capacity ribbon mechanism and self-cleaning card handling system.

The Model P310F is plug-and-play out of the box, making it simple to set up and use. Both Microsoft™ Windows™ drivers and card design software are provided with each unit. Each unit also incorporates an easy-to-change card-cleaning cartridge that thoroughly removes dust before each card is printed. Eltron P310F options include a "non-scratching" magnetic stripe encoder, a smart card contact station for card applications that require encoded informationand an optional RS232C serial port.
