Prima 3 Driver Manual
The following keywords in an encoding string are reserved by the driver and processed in a special way.
Keyword | Option | Format | Description |
pi | mandatory | Text | plugin name |
|
|
| This name must match with the one shown in the Installed |
|
|
| Plugins list in Plugin Manager. |
|
|
|
|
ft | optional | Text | format template name |
|
|
| 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 |
|
|
| 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 |
|
|
| (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. |
