For example, if you are printing onto both sides of a card and you have both the Overlay and the Film Lamination w/ Overlay options selected, the ribbon’s clear overlay panel will be placed on top of the film laminated side as well as over the printed reverse side. As a rule, do not select the standard Overlay option in conjunction with the Film Lamination w/ Overlay option if you do not wish to place the ribbon’s clear overlay onto the printed, non-laminated back side of a card.

4.After your selections have been made, close out of the printer setup window. You are now ready to go to an application program and print. All printer driver options selected will stay the same until you change them.

D.Printing a Card Now that youÕve set up the printer, loaded media, and installed the printer driver, youÕre ready to print an ID card. Follow these steps to print your first card:

1.Go to the Windows application program in

which you will be creating your cards and open or create a card format.

2.Once you are ready to print, select Print Setup (or the equivalent) from the programÕs File menu to verify that the printer driver settings are correct for your card design. Remember to select the proper card size and ribbon type and, if applicable, to verify that the proper magnetic and/or lamination settings are selected. After youÕve properly configured the driver, select the Print button from the applicationÕs Print screen.

3.The Color ID Card PrinterÕs RIP (raster image processing) begins. The image processing time will vary depending upon the complexity of the image and the processing speed of your computer.

4.After the image is processed and sent to the printer, the printer will draw in a card and print the first color (yellow), followed by the remaining colors (magenta, cyan, and black). If using a ribbon with a clear overlay, the clear overlay panel will print immediately after the last color panel. If printing onto the back side of a card, encoding, or applying an overlaminate, the printer will finish these functions last and then eject the card.

5.If everything looks good, youÕve successfully completed set-up, initial testing, and printing with your Color ID Card Printer.
