HDP8500 Industrial Card Printer/Encoder User Guide L001617 rev 1.1
Section 7: Inhibit Panel Usage
You can use the Inhibit Panel (I designation under YMCKI) to define areas on the surface of the
card, in order to prevent the transfer of film to the card surface. Examples of where the I Panel
has potential use are to ensure that signature panels, security holograms or pre-printed
graphics are not covered or obscured by print images or transfer film.
When Active: This feature is active when using YMCKI Ribbons.
Application Usage: An application which supports the use of text based objects is used to
access and work with the Inhibit Panel.
Using Inhibit Panel (via the Fargo Workbench Printer
Utility)
You can use the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility to generate an Inhibit Panel Layout. (Note:
This utility allows the operator to add a rectangular area(s) that define which areas are to be
inhibited.)
Inhibit Panel Placement: Each print job (generated from that individual client workstation)
will generate the instructions within the print job that place the corresponding area(s) on the
I-panel.
Operating Systems: This method works on all applications generating print jobs to the
HDP5000 under all operating systems. (Note: This is regardless of whether the printer
(being used) is a shared instance from another workstation or an instance local to that
particular workstation.)
Follow these instructions:
To create an inhibit area using the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility, see Using the Inhibit
Panel Layout Applet in the Help file associated with the specific application.
To open the Fargo Workbench Printer Utility, select (on your desktop)
