Installation on Windows

33On the General tab, click the Print Test Page button.

34Verify that the Windows test page prints. The image on the card is likely to be cropped; this is expected.

35Click OK when the card prints, and then close the Properties dialog box.

If you have not restarted the PC and the printer, the Windows test page might not print or might cause an error at the printer. Restart the printer: Do not follow Windows troubleshooting.

To continue, see "Set up the Unidirectional Printer".

Set up the Unidirectional Printer

Before using the printer, verify or change printer settings at the server PC. See InfoCentral for information about settings. The setting you choose affects all clients that send print jobs to this printer:

1Set the Printer Type to match the name plate on the printer.

2Set the Ribbon Type to match the ribbon installed in the printer.

3Set the Print on Both Sides setting, which controls whether the printer prints one side or two sides. Also set the Duplex method, which controls how two-sided printing occurs. (Manual duplex is not supported.)

4For printing two-sided (duplex) cards and some ribbon types, set whether to print color on both sides.

5Set print and topcoat blocking, if needed. For manual-feed printers, set rewrite blocking if needed.

6If the printer includes a magnetic stripe option and you will be printing magnetic stripe cards, set mag stripe encoding values.

7Set whether to apply Laminator material to one or both sides of the card (available only on laminating printers).

8Set card design features, such as portrait or landscape orientation.

Features provided by the Printer Toolbox, including color settings, supplies information, edge- to-edge settings, and printhead power, are not available using a unidirectional driver. Diagnostics for Card Printers does not run with a unidirectional driver. The Firmware Update program does not run with a unidirectional driver. See "Firmware Updates" for information about updating firmware.

See "Printing Cards in the Windows Terminal Services Environment".

Printing Cards in the Windows Terminal Services Environment

In controlled network environments, Windows Terminal Services makes resources on the server available to client PCs on the network. These resources can include applications, data, and printers. The unidirectional driver can be installed in the Windows Terminal Services environment, as described in "Installing the Unidirectional Driver".
