Pro-L Card Printer User’s Manual

Print Both Sides

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

For example, if you would like to print a full color ID format on the front of your card and monochrome text or bar codes on the back, you would simply create the full color front side of the card on page 1 of your 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.

Print Edge-to-Edge

Select this option to print full-bleed images all the way out to the edge of a card. When this option is not selected, the printer will automatically place a non- printable margin of about .10” (2.54mm) around the entire perimeter of a card. If you have selected this option and you are still getting a slight non-printable border along one or two edges of the card, select the Calibrate button to fine-tune the position of your printed image. Please note that it is not possible to print edge-to- edge on 10 mil (.010”/.254mm) cards
