RINTING A SAMPLE CARD

Printing with the K 500 Optima Printer requires the Windows Printer Driver,
your card design/issuing software or printer command level programming through
the printer interface.

The K 500 Optima Card Printer can be used with any Windows 95/98 or Windows
NT 4.0 software application program, using the drivers provided with the printer.

This section contains information on the printing of a dual-sided card in color 
(using the 6-Panel color ribbon YMCKOK) and the Windows Printer Driver.

BEFORE installing updated printer driver versions,
always delete the existing printer driver version
from your computer.
