Introduction
This manual contains installation and operation information for the Zebra ZXP Series 8 Card
Printer manufactured by Zebra Technologies Corporation.
The Zebra ZXP Series 8 card printers use reverse transfer printing technology to create photo-
quality and over-the-edge images on plastic identification cards. Zebra’s reverse transfer
printers provide fast throughput and a range of encoding options for a variety of markets
and applications.
The difference between the Z83 and the Z84 is that the Z83 has a single-sided laminator (i.e., it
lays down and seals a laminating film on the top surface of the printed card), while the Z84 has
a dual-sided laminator (i.e., it lays down and seals laminating film on both surfaces of the
printed card).
References in this document that refer to either or both of the models will be in the form of
“the printer” or “the Z83/Z84 Printer”; references that are specific to one or the other will be in
the form of “the Z83 Printer” or “the Z84 Printer.”
