Printer Driver Limitations

The Datacard printer driver for Windows 95 or 98 does not support:

Two-sided badge printing using the Datacard QuikWorks software

Encapsulated postscript (.eps) files

Microsoft Windows 3.1 and NT (see separate driver for Windows NT and 2000)

NTT (or J) encoding

Smart card personalization

Barcode generation: your Windows application must generate the barcode and pass it to the driver for printing

“Indent” fonts do not display in WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)

Encryption capability as required by Visa

The 150i password for the production of major brands of financial cards (Visa, MasterCard, etc.)

Any magnetic stripe encoding schemes other than IATA, ABA, or TTS

Network printing: because of the complex nature of networking, Datacard does not provide Help Desk technical support for the printer driver in networked applications

Embossing Limitations

Cards pass through the embosser in landscape orientation and the embossing wheels print characters horizontally. Therefore, embossing must be limited to landscape orientation.
