Print Ribbon Selection
A variety of ribbons are available for use with the ZXP Series 9 Card Printer.
For example, the YMC ribbon prints yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) on the front and the back
(if the printer is double-sided). The YMCK ribbon prints yellow, magenta, and cyan on the front of the
card, and black on the back of the card (if the printer is double-sided).
The YMCKI ribbon is for use with mag stripe cards, and will print yellow, magenta, and cyan on the
front of the card, and black on the lower half of the back—avoiding printing over the mag stripe.
The YMCUvK ribbon adds a layer of ultra-violet (Uv) to print invisible images (text or graphics) that
will glow in the visible spectrum when exposed to a Uv light.
The printer will recognize the type of print ribbon installed and display it in the Ribbon type eld
of the Printing Preferences Control Panel Card Setup tab, and (as shown in the following gure)
will make available the ribbon combinations from the Ribbon combinations drop-down menu.
Additionally, selecting Yes or No (double- or single-sided, respectively) from the Print on both sides
drop-down list will affect the available ribbon combinations.
The table below shows the supported print ribbons and their respective combinations for single- and
double-sided printing.
