You may be able to, IF the tickets are loaded on the Amtrak system the day before. But you won't be able to do that from the QuikTrak machine, you need an Amtrak agent, and the Metropark agents will absolutely not help you, so to pick up the day before you would need to go to Philly-30th Street to try to pick up from an agent there.
Further, Metropark station building is closed and locked before 5:15, so you can't even get to the QuikTrak machine the day of travel before the train departs ZFV. And finally, if you were planning on hopping on the train at Metropark, forget that too because the 5:15 train does not stop at Metropark.
From your FT handle it appears that you are based near EWR, and are trying to pull a ZFV trick and not take the train from ZFV. Bad move. For this one, you probably do need to go catch that 5:15am train from ZFV, or SDC your ticket.
