Click on the Card Size down arrow. A list of card size selections will appear. The Std CR-80and Oversize selections allow you to print and overlay the entire printable area of a standard or oversized card. Keep in mind that all card sizes have a slight non-printable margin around the entire edge of the card. The Smart Card, Magstripe, and Punch Offset selections allow you to print and overlay only within the given card areas. The Smart Chip selection allows you to print and overlay anywhere on a card except over the immediate location of a standard smart card chip. These selections prevent you from printing over or damaging the area of the card containing the magnetic stripe, IC chip, or punched slot.
The Dual Side: CR-80/Magstripe selection should be selected only when printing onto both sides of a standard CR-80 card which has a magnetic stripe on the back. This option allows you to print and overlay the entire front of a card while applying an overlay only onto the area opposite the magnetic stripe on the back of a card. This prevents the magnetic stripe from being damaged. Although this options prevents the overlay from being applied to the magnetic stripe area of a card, it is still possible to print text or images over the magnetic stripe. Therefore, when designing the back of your card format, you must be careful not to place any printable objects over the magnetic stripe area of the card. Note that the Duplex Printing option must be selected to print onto both sides of a card.
The JIS II Magstripe Side option should be selected only when printing onto cards with a Japanese standard JIS II magnetic stripe. Select the card size option thatÕs appropriate for the type of card you are using (see Section 4-C for important card stock information).
Click on the Ribbon Type down arrow. A list of ribbon selections will appear. Select the ribbon type option thatÕs appropriate for the type of ribbon you are using (see Section 4-A for further ribbon information).
Click on the Color Matching down arrow and select the appropriate color matching option. Select None if you are more interested in print speed rather than print color, if you have already color corrected your image for printing, or if you are using some other third party color matching software.
