FARGO electronic Card Printer manual Controls, Disable Printing, Dither Mode, Dye-Sub Intensity

4250/4225 Card Printer UserÕs Manual

Select Algebraic if you would like the printer driver to make very simple, yet fast, color balance adjustments. This option gives you more natural looking images without actually utilizing any specific color matching software and without slowing down the processing speed of the printer driver. When selected, this color matching method can be customized by selecting the Controls button.

Select Monitor if you would like the printer driver to make color corrections similar to the Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching algorithm. This option shifts colors more radically so the colors in your image will more closely match how they appear on your monitor.

The FargoColorª option is only available when the printerÕs optional color matching software upgrade has been installed. Select this option to enable color matching profiles written specifically for your printer. The FargoColor option automatically adjusts the color of your image according to preconfigured printer profiles and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color match compliant with ICC standards. Please note that since the FargoColor option is intended to match photographic color hues as closely as possible, you may notice that some colors may appear slightly muted when printing simple spot colors.

Controls

See Picture Controls.

Disable Printing

Selecting this option disables the printing capabilities of the printer, yet still allows the printer to encode cards. This option is useful if you would like to encode or re- encode preprinted cards without wasting additional time, effort, or printing supplies. When this option is selected, all print data will not be sent to the printer, while all encoding instructions will be sent according to how they are configure within the printer driver.

Dither Mode

This option only effects objects printed with a monochrome resin ribbon type. Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image you are printing.

Dye-Sub Intensity

See Picture Controls.

Enlarge/Reduce

Available only in the Macintosh printer driver, this option alters the size of the printed image between the integers of 25% and 400%. A setting of 100% indicates the document will be printed at actual size. Please note that significantly enlarging or reducing the image may cause the image to appear pixelated or ÒjaggyÓ when printed.
