Zebra ZXP Series 1 Card Printer

The printer is accessible from the Mac in Visual Arts and prints standard CR80 (ISO/IEC 7810 ID1) sized cards, these are approximately 85.60mm × 53.98mm and the document can be portrait or landscape.

Software

The ZXP Series 1 shows up as a standard CUPS device. It is directly connected to the Mac at the moment, but if the device should disappear during an update or change of hardware it can be added through the Mac's printer dialog (unlock, press + button)

The Mac has Inkscape and their own "Pages" DTP software. Inkscape should be able to handle a variety of formats for vector graphics. The document/page setup should be the standard CR80 dimensions listed above.

Manual

The manual is available from Zebra.
