Printer Settings and AdjustmentsPropertiesP1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 55Ports TabUse the Ports tab to specify the computer port to which the printer is connected. This will have been established at the initial installation of the printer, and will not normally require attention. To access the Ports tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > Ports.An exception to this is if you wish to use printer pooling, the ability to distribute print jobs to multiple printers. To enable printer pooling, check the “Enable printer pooling” box, then check the additional ports boxes. Each port should have a single Zebra printer installed on it. All the pooled printers must be identical models with the same configuration (e.g., all with YMC front, K back). Now, when you print to the “main printer” (that is, whichever printer you right-clicked in Printers and Faxes to get to this screen), this printer will get print jobs until it has buffered as many jobs as it can take. Remaining jobs will then “spill over” to other printers until all printers in the pool are busy.
56 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and AdjustmentsPropertiesAdvanced TabThe Advanced tab determines the spooling (queuing) of print jobs and determines how spooled jobs are handled relative to the most recent job.To access the Advanced tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > Advanced.To enable spooling: Select the radio button labeled Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster.• Select Start printing after last page is spooled if you want the entire document to be spooled before printing begins. This option ensures that the entire document is sent to the print queue before printing. If for some reason printing is canceled or not completed, the job will not be printed.• Select Start printing immediately if you want printing to begin immediately when the print device is not already in use. This option is preferable when you want print jobs to be completed faster or when you want to ensure that the application returns control to users as soon as possible.To disable spooling: Select the radio button labeled Print directly to the printer radio button.

Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > Security.The Security tab allows you to assign the actual permissions that apply to the print queue.

62 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and AdjustmentsPrinting PreferencesBlack Panel (K) TabThe 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).OverviewPrinting 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 ExtractionWhen 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.
