Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card Printer listing, and select Printing Preferences > Card Setup.

- Double pass prints the Uv image on a second transfer film panel and applies it to the
card, over the first transferred image. This option increases the visibility of the Uv
image but uses twice the transfer film.
- Grayscale prints the bitmap image as a grayscale image, which is composed of
shades of gray, varying from black to white.
- Halftone prints the bitmap image as a halftone image, which simulates continuous
tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing.
Security ID automatically prints a unique text value in fixed locations on a card using the
UV panel; see Page 92 for details.
