3 Setting Printer Properties

Printing a Card

Printing with the P330i or P330m Card Printer is similar to printing with any other printer in a Windows environment.

•The Print Driver Software is installed on your computer (see Chapter 2).

•The printer is connected to the power source and the computer (see Chapter 2).

•The printer is selected by either the Operating System or the appropriate application software program.

•Printer Properties are set (the factory default values will be appropriate for many applications).

•Card printing is directed by the appropriate application software program.

Setting Printer Properties

Printer Properties can be set either at the Operating System level or within the application software program used for printing cards.

Note • In the following description of setting Printer Properties, only those properties and options that are suitable for being set by the User are described. The User should not make selections or set parameters unless they are specifically described in this section

Preferences settings can configure the printer for Landscape (wide) or Portrait (tall) printing orientation, and allow the user to verify that the desired ribbon is installed in the printer. (Monochrome ribbons are selected via the drop-down menu.)

If the printer includes the optional magnetic card stripe encoder, encoding parameters and coercivity can be set.

Printer cleaning can be initiated from the Tools window (printer cleaning can also be initiated at the printer; see Chapter 4).

Also from the Tools window, the Test Card can be selected from several pre-loaded styles.
