option increases the precision of printed bitmapped bar codes, thereby assuring greater accuracy when read by a bar code scanner.

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 Quatro 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.

Magnetics

This option only applies if your printer has an optional Magnetic Stripe Encoding Module installed. Select this option to control the magnetic stripe encoding process. See Appendix A for more information about these options and on the printerÕs magnetic encoding process.

No Margins

Select this option to enable the printerÕs edge-to-edge printing capability. When this option is not selected, the printer will automatically place a non-printable margin of about .10" (2.54mm) around the entire perimeter of a card. If you have selected this option and you are still getting a slight non- printable border along one or two edges of the card, select the Calibrate button to fine-tune the position of your printed image.

Orientation

Select either Portrait or Landscape. Selecting Portrait causes the card to print in a vertical orientation. Selecting Landscape causes the card to print in a horizontal orientation. An icon illustrating a printed card helps represent the difference between the two.

Overlay

This option is only applicable if you are using a ribbon with a clear overlay panel. If using such a ribbon, select this option to enable the printer to place a clear overlay over the entire printable area of the given card size. Do not select this option, however, if you are not using a ribbon with a clear overlay panel or if you intend to apply a separate overlaminate to the
