Setting Up Printer Pooling (Windows 7)
Printer pooling is a standard feature of Windows, which lets you spread your printed output across a
pool of several printers.
Step 1. Before proceeding to pool any number of printers, test them individually to be sure
they are conîšżgured similarly. Speciîšżcally, check the following:
y Ribbon panel conîšżguration (ribbon type, and what prints on which side of the
card).
y Mag encoding conîšżguration.
y Black extraction conîšżguration (if applicable).
Step 2. From the Start menu select Devices and Printers. Right click on the Zebra ZXP
Series 8 Card Printer and select Properties, then select the Ports tab.
Step 3. Select the desired printers by clicking on the associated checkbox.
Step 4. Select the Enable printer pooling checkbox.
For setup on other operating systems, please refer to your system help content.
