IDPrint Lite

IDPrint Lite is a simple utility designed for functional testing only. It is not intended for ID card production.

IDPrint Lite allows you to send bitmap (.bmp) files to the ID card printer driver. Unlike most applications used for page composing, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe PageMaker, IDPrint Lite can send up to four separate image files to the printer in a single transaction, two for the front of the card, two for the back.IDPrint Lite has no page composing capability. It is a means only of delivering to the printer driver previously composed image files, samples of which are on the driver CD, see below (these image files also come with the P640i driver when downloaded from the Web).

Test for alignment of lamin-Test for ribbon wrinkling ate, If you wish to use your own images instead of the samples, compose them using any application that can save them in .bmp format. The standard image size for

the P640i is 952 x 578 pixels.

IDPrint Lite can also be used for mag stripe encoding in two formats, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators).
