SmartCard Offset -< 00 >+

This option applies only if the printer has a built-in smart card contact station. If so, this option allows you align the position of the smart card so that its smart chip makes positive contact with the smart card contact station as the card passes through the printer. When adjusting this value, keep in mind that a card and its smart chip will always remain in the same relative position during printing. The following diagram represents how the smart card contact station will be positioned in relation to a cardÕs smart chip as a positive or negative SmartCard Offset value is entered.

To move the position of the smart card contact station more toward the leading edge of the card, or card output side of the printer, press the On/Cancel button to enter a negative value. To move the position of the smart card contact station more toward the trailing edge of the card, or card input side of the printer, press the Pause/Resume button to enter a positive value. Notice the arrows on these buttons indicate the direction the smart card contact station will move in relation to a cardÕs smart chip. The maximum adjustment range is ± 32 pixels. As a rule, 10 pixels equals about .030Ó/.8mm.

Print Length -< 00 >+

This option allows you to reduce or lengthen the overall printable area in order to optimize edge-to-edge printing toward the trailing edge of a card. When adjusting this value, keep in mind that cards always remain in the same position as they travel through the printer. The following diagram represents how the print length will move in relation to the fixed card position as a positive or negative Print Length value is entered.
