Initial setup problems printing Graphics, Embossing or Magnetic Stripe
If you have followed the prescribed steps to select embossed fonts and/or magnetic stripe fonts and still cannot print successfully, the problem may be an incorrect setting in the printer itself. In other words, some parameter is turned off that should be turned on (for example, Graphics off or Magnetic Stripe Track XX off). The machine is set up correctly in the factory, but can be user configured and, consequently, the potential exists for incompatibility. Check technical manuals and follow prescribed steps to ensure that settings are correct.
How do I check the version of the printer driver?
From the Windows Start button, select Settings and then Printers. Select the Datacard printer from the list of printers installed. Select File and then Properties. The printer Properties dialog box appears. Select the Paper tab, and then click the About button.
