5In the application, select the SmartDriver as the current printer. (Your printer might have a different name.)

6Choose the printer settings that correspond to the cards.

7Set the paper size to CR80 Card 2.13" x 3.38." Set margins to match the driver.

8Capture, format, and save the card data.

—Format the text to print using TrueType fonts.

—Text formatted as Black will print using the K (solid black) ribbon panel.

—Other colors are printed using the color panels (if you use a full-color print ribbon).

9When the card data is ready, choose Print to send the card to the printer.

The card shown is the sample card printed from the Printer Toolbox. It shows the features available when printing from the SmartDriver using a full-color ribbon.
