Troubleshooting
Why do I get an error using embossed fonts?
The most common error occurs when embossed fonts are not positioned correctly on a card. Embossed fonts can be placed anywhere on a card, except for the margin area, which varies by printer. If embossed text is placed in the margin area of the card, an illegal font placement error will be detected by the printer and the card will not print the embossed text. The error message will appear both on the printer and on the computer screen.
The solution is to redesign the card, moving the embossed font into the legal printable area of the card.
The 150i is designed to apply topping to the lower half of a CR80 card. The topper must be disabled to emboss on the upper areas of the card.
Embossed fonts do not print as they appear on the screen.
The problem likely is traced to the orientation you are using. Emboss fonts only print horizontally on a card in landscape orientation. If the font has been rotated in landscape orientation, the font will not print as displayed. Conversely, in portrait orientation, the embossed font must be rotated to display vertically on the card. Embossing should be limited to landscape orientation. The reason for this is the mechanical design of the printer and the wheel set.
If you are using QuikWorks and need to use embossed fonts on a card designed in portrait orientation, select the field to be embossed, select the rotate menu command three times, and then move the field to the proper place on the card.
Why don't embossed fonts appear in the font menu?
Embossed fonts are special printer fonts. For embossed fonts to appear in your application's font list, the font cartridge must be selected from the cartridge list found on the Fonts tab of the printer’s Properties dialog box (see page 10).
Determine which type sets have been installed in your printer and select them.
