PrintFS-C5016NSystem Utilities

IC Link for Windows

The IC Link Utility assembles and organizes all of the necessary components to create an IC Card project (PCMCIA/JEIDA, standard 4.0). Once assembled, the utility formats the components and transfers them onto an IC Card inserted into a locally connected printer. The IC Card contains the project information that will be read into printer memory upon power-up. The removable IC Card can be moved from one printer to another.

The IC Card project components include:

¡Font data (TrueType, KPDL, etc.)

¡Host data (forms, logos, signatures)

¡Macros, Program data (PRESCRIBE, PCL, KPDL)

¡Message data (to change the printer's Message Language setting).

The IC Link Utility enables you to download data directly to the printer's optional Hard Disk and EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). Data on these alternative storage devices can be managed in the same manner as the IC Cards, with the exception of Message data, which cannot be transferred.

IC Link for Windows can import DOS-based IC Link projects and manage, edit and delete information on previously used IC Cards. However, IC Link projects cannot be opened in DOS-based IC Link.

IC Link Benefits:

1.Facilitates the upgrade of firmware by managing new data the distribution.

2.Converts graphic information to PRESCRIBE Macro format for electronic forms management

3.Distributes MACRO information to a resident storage device on the Printer.
