card. Remember that all dye-sublimation prints must have
either the ribbonÕs overlay or a separate overlaminate applied
to them to prevent premature wear or fading.

Position

Select this feature to display options for adjusting the
placement of a cardÕs overall print area.

When adjusting the image placement, keep in mind that cards
always remain in the same position as they travel through the
printer. The diagram below represents how the printed image
will move in relation to the fixed card position as positive and
negative image placement values are entered.

As you can see, the Vertical adjustment moves the image more
toward the rear of the printer if a positive number is entered
and more toward the front of the printer if a negative number
is entered. The Horizontal adjustment moves the image more
toward the card output side of the printer if a positive number
is entered and more toward the card input side of the printer if
a negative number is entered. The maximum value for either
adjustment is ±10.
