3.3.4 Print Both Sides (HDP720 only)

Select this option to automatically print on both the front and backside of a card. This option can be selected in conjunction with any application program that supports a multiple-page document, duplex printing. In other words, the program must be able to send down two or more separate pages to be printed within the same document.

For example, to print a full-color ID format on the front of the card and monochrome text or bar codes on the back, simply create the full-color front side of the card on page 1 of the document and the monochrome back side on page 2. The printer driver will always place all odd numbered pages on the front side of the card and all even numbered pages on the back side.

3.3.5 Split 1 Set of Ribbon Panels (HDP720 only)

Select this option to automatically print full-color on the front of a card and resin black on the back of a card using either of the Full-Color YMCK or YMCKK print ribbons. Selecting this option provides the most economical means of printing a dual-sided card since a single set of ribbon panels is essentially "split" to print both the front and backsides of a card. If using a YMCK ribbon type, the front of the card is printed with the ribbon's YMC panels and the back is printed with the K panel. If using a YMCKK ribbon type, the front of the card is printed with the YMCK panels and the back is printed with the second K panel. Note that this option is automatically enabled when the YMCKK ribbon type is selected. Also, note that the Print Both Sides option is automatically enabled when this option is selected.

3.3.6 Print Back Side Only (HDP720 only)

Select this option to print only onto the backside of a card. This option allows for conveniently printing the backside of preprinted cards that also must have their magnetic stripe or smart card chip encoded. Be sure to load cards in the usual fashion. Note that when this option is selected, the Print Both Sides option is automatically disabled.

Note

When attempting to print a two-page document, if Print Back Side Only is selected, the first page of the document will print on the backside of the card. The second page of the document will then be printed on the back of a second card.

3.3.7 Rotate Front 180 Degrees

This option rotates the image on the front of the card 180 degrees when printed. This option is often used to change the position of the printed image in relation to the set location of a card's magnetic stripe or smart chip.

3.3.8 Rotate Back 180 Degrees (HDP720 only)

This option rotates the image on the back of the card 180 degrees when printed. This option is often used to change the position of the printed image in relation to the set location of a card's magnetic stripe or smart chip.

3.3.9 Disable Printing

Selecting this option disables the printing capabilities of the printer, yet still allows the printer to encode cards. This option is useful to encode or re-encode preprinted cards without wasting additional time, effort, or printing supplies. When this option is selected, no print data will be sent to the printer, while all encoding instructions will be sent according to how they are configured within the software.

3.3.10 Buffer Single Card

Select this option to force the printer's memory to buffer, or hold, only one print job at a time. This option should be selected only if printing to multiple printers sharing print jobs over a network. In this case, this option ensures all printers evenly share all print jobs. When this option is not selected, the printer's memory will buffer as many print jobs as it can until the printer's memory is full. This is ideal for most applications where printers are not networked together.
