56 Zebra P630i & P640i Card Printer Service Manual 980006-001 Rev. A
Installation and Setup
Changing the Printer Driver Options (Properties)
2.7.3 Ports Tab
Use the Ports tab to specify the computer port to which the P630i or P640i 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 P630i or
Zebra P640i 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. To enable printer pooling, check the “Enable Printer Pooling” box, then
check multiple ports. Each port should have a single Zebra printer installed on it. All the
pooled printers must be identical models with the same configuration (for example: all with
YMC front, K back).
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.
See Appendix F for details.
