Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing, then select Properties 52 • General Tab - Displays printer information of a general nature, includes selection for Printing Preferences and Print Test Page (i.e., the standard Windows test page). • Sharing Tab - Operating System (OS) feature where the printer can be shared with other clients on a network. • Ports Tab - OS feature displays available communication ports. • Advanced Tab - OS feature to select printer availability and spooling options. • Security Tab - OS feature where permissions to printers can be defined. • Device Information Tab - Allows user to make basic printer adjustments and access advanced printer controls. Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties General Tab The General tab shows the printer model and lists the features of the printer. To access the General tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > General. • Location - Lets you specify where the printer is located. • Comment - Lets you specify general information about the printer, such as the type of print device and who is responsible for it. Once set, these fields can be displayed by applications. • Model - Specifies the name of the printer driver installed. • Features - Specifies whether various options are available on the printer. The Printing Preferences button takes you to Printing Preferences used to set selected configuration parameters; see Printing Preferences on page 59. The Print Test Page button sends the standard Windows test page to the printer. P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 53 Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties Sharing Tab On the Sharing tab (Sharing Property Page), you can choose to share the printer over the network and install additional drivers to accommodate different operating systems. To access the Sharing tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > Sharing. Printer sharing tasks that you can perform include: 54 • To share a printer, select the Share this printer radio button; and specify a name for the shared resource. Click OK when you're finished. • To change the shared name, simply enter a new name in the Share name field; and click OK. • To quit sharing a printer, select the Do not share this printer radio button. Click OK when you're finished. Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties Ports Tab Use 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. P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 55 Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties Advanced Tab The 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. 56 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties Security Tab This is the standard Windows security screen, showing user access to various printer control options. Both Print and Manage Printers must be checked for full functionality of the printer. To access the Security tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. 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. You can apply permissions to both users and to groups. It is usually considered a better practice to only apply security to groups. The Advanced Security Settings properties sheet allows you to assign a more comprehensive set of permissions than the basic Security tab found on the printer’s properties sheet does. P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 57 Printer Settings and Adjustments Properties Device Information Tab The Device Information tab provides printer information, job condition, printer history, and security status.

A ( Draft 1 ) Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual 61 Printer Settings and Adjustments Printing Preferences Black Panel (K) Tab The Black Panel (K) Tab allows for special handling of black. 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. 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. 62 Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer User’s Manual P1013772-001 Rev. A ( Draft 1 ) Printer Settings and Adjustments Printing Preferences Advanced Settings (Black Extraction) The Advanced Settings tab allows you to manage Black Extraction. To access the Advanced Settings Tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing; and select Printing Preferences > Black Panel (K) > Advanced Settings. The figure below shows settings for the front side of the card; settings for the back side of the card are identical. • Print black with K panel: Specify the zones as either Defined areas, Undefined areas, or Full card. • Black level: Set the limits (0 to 5) on the RGB values defined as black. • Area manager: Note that this option is enabled when either the Defined areas or the Undefined areas is radio button is selected. Select an Area radio button (1 to 6), and then “drag” the cursor diagonally across the card outline (circled above) to identify location of the Zone. All dimensions are referenced to the upper-left corner of the card outline. The Restore Defaults button restores Advanced Settings default values. P1013772-001 Rev.
