Back Side Only
Select this option to print the back side of a card
only. This option allows you to conveniently print
the back side of preprinted cards which also must
have their magnetic stripe or smart card chip
encoded. Be sure to load cards in the usual fashion
as described in Section 4-D. Note that when this
option is selected, the Duplex Printing option is
automatically disabled.
Rotate 180º
This option allows you to rotate your image 180¼
when printed. Select this option if you wish to
change the position of your image in relation to the
set location of a cardÕs magnetic stripe.
Mag Encode
Only
Select this option if you wish to send only the
magnetic track data of a card format to the printer.
This unique feature enables the Color ID Card
Printer to function solely as a magnetic stripe
encoder so you can easily encode or re-encode
preprinted cards without wasting additional time,
effort, or printing supplies.
Write Direct
to Port
Selecting this option provides the fastest print
processing when printing through a standard
parallel port which is not ECP compatible or when
printing exclusively from Windows 3.1x. When
selected, this option allows the printer driver to
bypass the Windows 3.1x Print Manager or the
print spooler of Windows 95 and to send all print
data directly to the Color ID Card Printer. This
option devotes all of your system resources to the
current print job, thereby increasing overall print
speed. When the print job is finished, your system
resources will again be released and devoted to the
normal function of your on-screen applications.
Depending upon the processing speed and brand
of your computer, you may or may not need to
select this option when printing with the Color ID
Card Printer. For most computers with a non-ECP
compatible parallel port, selecting this option will
enhance the speed of the rasterizing and printing
process. In this case, the Write Direct to Port option
should be selected. For some computers, however,
this option may either not be supported by the
particular brand of PC or simply may not be
necessary due to the PCÕs fast processing speed. In
this case, the Write Direct to Port option should
not be selected.
NOTE
This option will not function properly if using any type
of external printer buffer. When using a printer buffer,
all print jobs should be sent through the system print
