This name must match with one of the format templates

 

 

 

shown in the Format Templates list in Plugin Manager for

 

 

 

the plugin selected above (keyword "pi").

 

 

 

 

so

optional

Number

sequence order

 

 

 

This specifies the sequence order and should only be used

 

 

 

when using multiple encoding strings on one card. The

 

 

 

numbers can be chosen freely.

 

 

 

The encodings will be processed in ascending order.

 

 

 

If two so-numbers are equal, the processing order of the

 

 

 

two is undefined and dependent on the application!

 

 

 

 

pre

optional

-

precode step

 

 

 

This indicates that this is a precode step in which the card

 

 

 

will only be loaded but not yet printed.

 

 

 

This attribute must be present in the precode step and

 

 

 

must be omitted in the second (encode) step. It has no

 

 

 

value!

 

 

 

In addition, the printer will be locked for the precode-id

 

 

 

(see below).

 

 

 

 

pid

optional

Number

precode id

 

 

 

The number must uniquely identify the precode step and

 

 

 

must be the same on the second (encode) step.

 

 

 

This attribute is mandatory in an environment where

 

 

 

precoding is done and must be present in both steps.

 

 

 

The application needs to take care that each card to be

 

 

 

printed and encoded gets a unique precode ID that is used

 

 

 

for both steps.

 

 

 

The printer is locked in the first step for this precode ID

 

 

 

and only a second job with the same ID can unlock the

 

 

 

printer. Therefore it is required that other cards have

 

 

 

different IDs.
