Pooling
Setting Up Printer Pooling
Printer Pooling is a standard feature of Windows, which lets you spread your printed output
across a pool of several printers. In this example, we will install and setup the three network
printers to be used for pooling.
Step 1. Before proceeding to pool the printers, test them individually, and be sure they are
configured similarly. Specifically, check the following:
• Ribbon panel configuration (ribbon type, and what prints on which side of
the card).
• Mag encoding configuration.
• Black extraction configuration (if applicable).
Step 2. Access the Ports Tab.
To access the Ports tab, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra
ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing. Select Properties > Ports.
Step 3. Select the Enable printer pooling checkbox (arrow above).
Step 4. Select the three printers by clicking on the associated checkbox (circle above).
