Chapter 4: Print Cards
This chapter provides an overview of how to use application software to
prepare card designs and send card data to the printer.
Before You Begin
Before you start to print cards, make sure that you have met the following requirements:
Cards are loaded in the printer, or available to insert.
Ink ribbon and retransfer film are loaded. Refer to
. If your system includes the optional laminator,
for information about preparing the laminator.
The card design is set up. If you need to set up or modify the design, refer to “Elements of
Card Design” in the printer’s Installation and Administrator’s Guide, and the documentation
for your card personalization software.
You can use card personalization software, such as TruCredential Software, to create and print
card designs. The software handles the types of information used on cards and sends it to the
printer. If you do not have ID software, you can use a retail PC application, such as Microsoft
Word, with the XPS Card Printer Driver, to design and print the cards. With any application, make
sure that you test each card design to verify that it is printing correctly and meets your
requirements.
You also can:
Print a test card directly from the printer. Refer to
Print a driver sample card. Refer to “Print a Driver Sample Card” in your printer’s Driver
Guide.
