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; see Pooling on page 189 for details.

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); and each must have its own printer driver installed.

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.
