Overlay Varnish Options

the selected Ribbon Combination shows the O panel (e.g. YMCKO).
To access the Overlay Varnish pop-up window, select Start > Devices and Printers. Right
click on the Zebra ZXP Series 7 Card Printer listing, and select Printing preferences > Card
Setup. Select Ribbon info ... > Front Overlay ... or Back Overlay ...
