Name Formats The Name Format command allows you to specify the format in which the Cardholder’s
name, as entered in the system Cardholder database, is printed on the card when selected
using the Database command. The options are:
• No Change
• Last Name
• First Name
• Middle Name
• First and Middle
• Flip Name
By using the No Change selection, you can choose to have the name printed in the same
format as it was entered into the system database.
The Last Name, First Name, Middle Name and First and Middle options allow you to specify
that only these parts of the Cardholders name is printed in the selected object field.
Using these selections in multiple Database fields allows you to put different parts of the
Cardholder's name at different locations on the Badge.
The Flip Name command allows you to enter the Cardholder's name into the selected field
in reverse order from that which it is entered into the Cardholder Database. For example, if
the Cardholder's name is entered into the Database as Doe John, using the Flip Name
command causes it to be printed on the card as John Doe.
Place the mouse pointer over the relevant button and click the left mouse button. A black
spot appears in the center of the button to indicate the item has been selected.
Rotation The pop up menu allows you to select a rotation of 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°.
Color and Lines The color for the printed text on the badge is selected from the extensive color palette in the
Color and Lines section of the Attributes screen. The Lines portion of this section does not
apply to Database or Text applications and is dealt with under the sections relating to Line,
Triangle, Rectangle, Circle, and Ellipse.
The palette shows a small selection of the total colors available. To view more colors, place
the mouse pointer over one of the arrows at the left of the color palette, click the left mouse
button and hold it down until the right shade of the desired color appears. Release the left
mouse button and the scrolling stops. To select the desired shade, place the mouse pointer
over the selected color and click the left mouse button. A box appears indicating that the
color has been selected.
If none of the colors on the palette appear suitable, you may tailor a color to suit by using
the Red, Green and Blue color adjusters at the right of the color palette. You should first
select from the palette the nearest color to the desired shade. The color you selected
shows in the large color frame to the left of the color adjusters. To adjust the tint, you can
then place the mouse pointer over the up or down arrow next to the tint number of the Red,
Green or Blue color adjuster and click the left mouse button to change the value of the
selected tint. The tint values may be set between 0 and 256. As the tint is adjusted, the
actual color is shown in the large color frame at the left of the color adjusters, and also in
the selected palette color surrounded by the black box. This particular color is then saved
as part of the standard color palette for future use.
Print If- The Print If section of the attributes screen may be used to define the conditions under
which a “Picked” object is printed. Print If can be used to print text or a bitmap image,
photograph, signature, etc. only for some cardholders.
