Datacard Group RL90, RP90 manual Encode tab

Printing Preferences

The look up table requires a file with a full set of 256 values (0-255) for each plane for Yellow, Magenta, Cyan, and Black. Each field can have a value from 0 through 255. Data should be ASCII numeric values, separated by a comma or line feed.

To use the Security Erase feature, use a YMCK ink ribbon and choose Security Erase. Security erase prints a random pattern using the K panel onto the transfer ribbon.

This illustration shows a printed card and the ink ribbon used to print it, without using the Security Erase feature.

Encode tab

The Encode tab contains settings for using smart card (IC) and magnetic stripe encoding (your ID software might specify these settings, which override the Encode tab). You can also specify whether to rotate the card after an encoding step.

See “Magnetic Stripe Encoding” on page 77 for more information on encoding magnetic stripes.
