Black Panel (K) Tab
The Black Panel (K) Tab allows for special handling of black.
To access the Black Panel (K) Tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra
ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing; and select Printing Preferences > Black Panel (K).
Overview
Printing equal amounts of Y, M, and C dyes, at maximum intensity, deliver a near-black
image, but one that may not be machine readable. For example, a bar code, printed from
YMC, will be visible to the eye but will not be detectable by most bar code readers.
The remedy for this is to extract the black; which means printing the same bar code using
the K panel on top of the YMC bar code. You can also choose to print only in K, omitting
YMC from that region. The K panel is not a dye. It is more of a resin containing carbon
black, which is highly visible to infrared-type readers and renders a pure black image.
Black Extraction
When Disable Black Extraction is not selected (i.e., either Print YMC black under K or
Print all black data is selected), Black Extraction is enabled.
With either Print YMC black under K or Print all black data selected, you can identify
which elements are to be selected for black extraction: black text, black graphics, and/or
black monochrome bitmaps.
The Restore Defaults button restores Black Panel default values.
Note • The Black Panel (K) Tab applies only to surfaces of the card on which both
YMC (color) and K (black) are to be printed.

Job Log
The Job Log is a utility that builds a database of card transactions in the printer’s host
computer. Job Log records data encoded on the card’s magnetic stripe, together with date,
time, and the printer’s serial number.
The data set can be uploaded at any time to a central archive, thus providing a means for
security officers to validate the card by comparing it with tamper-proof real data.
•Enable Logging - If this box is checked, the logging feature is enabled.
•Logfile Definition - Choose one of the following options:
- If the “Create new log file each day” box is unchecked, the data is saved to a log file
of your choice (Filename).
- If the box is checked, the data is saved to log file ZXPLog with the day’s date; e.g.,
ZXPLog_2009_3_4.
- In addition to the Filename, you may wish to enter a special field Separator Character.
The default field Separator Character is “|”.

Media Loading Orientation
When loading cards with magnetic stripes into the card feeder, ensure that the magnetic stripe
is down and to the rear of the printer.
Magnetic Encoder Cleaning
The Magnetic Encoder is cleaned as part of the printer cleaning process; see Section 6. If the
frequency of encoding errors increases, the head may need additional cleaning. To cleans, only
use foam-tipped swabs.
Step 1. Open the Door.
Step 2. Open the idler roller assembly door.
Step 3. Bend the Cleaning Swab to release the cleaning fluid.
Step 4. Clean the Magnetic Encoder by moving Cleaning Swab tip side-to-side across the
head elements. To re-order Cleaning Swabs, see the Media List on the User
Documentation and Drivers CD supplied with this printer.
Step 5. Close the idler roller assembly door.
Step 6. Close the Door.
Note • ONLY USE cards that comply with ISO 7810 and 7811 standards for magnetic stripe
cards. The magnetic stripe must be flush to the surface of the card to work properly.
Never use cards which have taped-on magnetic stripes.
Caution • Never use a sharp object or any abrasive to scrape deposits from the Magnetic
Encoder. Permanent damage to the Magnetic Head will result.

Smart Card Options
Introduction
This section contains information on the additional operations of a Printer equipped with
one or more of the available Smart Card options.
Smart Cards can have a built-in microcomputer and/or memory to store fingerprints, voice
recognition patterns, medical records, and other such data. All other printer operations remain
the same as the standard models.
94 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1011091-001 Rev. A
Smart Card Options
Encoding and Reading Smart Cards
Encoding data onto Smart Cards and reading the data previously encoded on them is totally
under control of the application software; no operator action is required.
If you experience any problems with encoding or reading data, refer to the users manual or
other documentation for the application software.
Driver Setting
The Card Setup tab allows the user to specify the Smart Card Type in use. Based on your
selection, the printer automatically adjusts various printer properties for optimum
printer performance.
If your card type is not listed in the drop-down menu, select Custom and fill out the Card
Specifications pop-up screen.
To access the Card Setup Tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP
Series 8 Card Printer listing; and select Printing Preferences > Card Setup.
• Make the appropriate Smart Card Type selection.
Smart Card Options
P1011091-001 Rev. A Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 95
Contact Smart Cards
Contact Smart Cards have a pad of contacts on the surface of the card that connect to the
circuitry embedded into the card. The printer responds to commands that position the card at
the contact location, where the printer connects to the contacts on the Smart Card. Data to be
encoded onto the Smart Card, and data read from the Smart Card, can interface via a connector
on the printer’s rear panel (“Contact Station”), or encoding/decoding can be performed by
logic on the printer’s Main PCBA (“Contact Encoder”). All other printer operations remain the
same as the standard models.
Media Loading Orientation for Contact Smart Cards
Orient the cards with the gold-plated Smart Card contacts at the top surface of the card and
facing to the left.
Contact Station Smart Card Interface
When a command to the printer interface sends a card to the Smart Card Contact Station, the
printer connects the Smart Card Contact Station to the female DB-9 connector on the rear of
the printer.
An attached external Smart Card Programmer can be used to program Smart Card chips. The
following table shows the Smart Card Contact Points.
Pin Smart Card Contact Points DB-9 Smart Card Contact Points

Smart Card Contact Station
96 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1011091-001 Rev. A
Smart Card Options
Contactless Smart Cards
Rather than using a contact pad, Contactless Smart Cards use various short-range radio
technologies to “connect” to the printer. The printer moves the card to an antenna location
on the card path, and the encoding or decoding occurs. All other printer operations remain
the same.
Media Loading Orientation for Contactless Smart Cards
For Contactless Smart Cards, orientation is not a consideration.
Printing on Contactless Smart Cards
With reverse transfer printing technology, there are no restrictions when designing material to
be printed on Contactless Smart Cards.

Appendix D
Packing the Printer for
Shipment
Introduction
If the printer is to be shipped, it is important to use the original packing and shipping material
to prevent damage to the Printer.
If the original material is lost, a replacement Shipping Kit can be ordered from Zebra; refer to
the Media List on the User Documentation and Drivers CD supplied with this printer.
Procedure
Step 1. Remove any cards from the Input and Output Hoppers.
Step 2. If the printer still has power applied and is turned on and is still connected to the
host computer, set the printer’s power switch (on the back of the printer) to the
OFF ( ) position; and disconnect the interface and power cables to the printer.
Step 3. Open the printer Door.
Step 4. Remove the Print Ribbon and Transfer Film. (If you wish to save the print ribbon and
film for future use, you may want to put them in a plastic bag for storage.)
Step 5. Remove the Card Cleaning Cartridge and Card Cleaning Roller, and place them in
the foam insert.
Step 6. Close the printer Door.
Note • The specifics of the shipment and the printer’s condition may influence which of the
following steps are followed; common sense should prevail.
98 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1011091-001 Rev. A
Packing the Printer for Shipment
Step 7. Remove the Input and Output Hopper, and place them in the foam insert.
Step 8. Place the Printer in its protective plastic bag.
Step 9. Place the lower foam insert in the Shipping Carton.
Step 10. Use both hands to carefully place the Printer into the recess in the lower foam insert.
