printed correctly. Follow the steps below to print your first card.
Step 1. Open a new Microsoft Word document.
Step 2. If the Zebra Printer was not set as the default printer, select the ZXP Series 1 Card
Printer as the default.
Step 3. From the Microsoft Word document., set the Page Layout:
a. Size: CR-80, ISO 7810 format, 2.12 inch by 3.38 inch (54 mm by 86 mm) Card

c. Margins: Top, Bottom, Left, and Right = 0 (zero).
Step 4. The card appears as a Microsoft Word document.
Step 5. Design a card with both black and colored text and with colored images similar to the
sample card shown below.
Printing the Sample Card
Once you complete creating your sample card, you are ready to print. Ensure that your printer
has a True Colours
TM

card feeder.
