Refer to the descriptions for the various tabs in Printing Preferences and Printing Defaults of the ZDesigner Driver:
Tab 1: Dithering
The graphics print best when a monochrome image is used.
As Zebra printers are monochrome printers, the colour and grayscale images will be printed using the dithering method you select on the Options tab.
There are four available dithering methods, each method provides some control over the final printed image.
However, monochrome images will print in a more predictable fashion.
Tab 2: Stocks
From the Stocks tab, you can create custom labels sizes to use in the driver.
For more information, refer to Creating a new Stock Type.
Tab 3: Printer Memory
You can set the driver up for use with downloaded fonts and graphics in the printer.
For more information, refer to the Zebra Setup Utilities: Downloading Fonts to a Printer article.
