Card Design
Set
up
your
card
design
using
your
card
production
software
or
another
application,
such
as
Microsoft
Word.
You
can
specify
your
lamination
preferences
using
the
Card
Printer
Driver.
Your
card
production
software
also
may
provide
lamination
settings.
The
Card
Printer
Driver
allows
you
to
specify
both
printer
and
lamination
preferences.
Refer
to
your
printer’s
Driver
Guide
for
complete
information
about
setting
up
printing
preferences
and
lamination
options.
•
If
the
printer
has
one
laminator,
you
can
apply
the
overlay
material
to
one
or
both
sides
of
the
card.
•
If
the
printer
has
two
laminators
using
different
overlay
materials,
the
quickest
way
to
process
a
card
is
to
apply
the
overlay
in
L1
to
the
front
of
the
card
and
the
overlay
in
L2
to
the
back
of
the
card.
You
can
fine
‐
tune
the
settings
that
control
the
application
of
the
overlay
using
Printer
Manager.
Refer
to
the
printer’s
Installation
and
Administrator’s
Guide
for
information
about
using
Printer
Manager.
Verify Setup
After
you
set
up
the
printer,
several
test
cards
to
determine
how
well
the
laminator
applies
material
to
the
card.
You
can
test
cards
from
the
Card
Printer
Driver
(refer
to
the
printer’s
Driver
Guide
),
from
the
printer
LCD
panel
(refer
to
a
Test
Card”
on
page
20
),
or
from
Printer
Manager
(refer
to
the
printer’s
Installation
and
Administrator’s
Guide
).
You
may
need
to
multiple
test
cards
to
make
sure
that
the
overlay
is
positioned
correctly.
The
card
stock,
the
card
design,
and
the
printer’s
environment
all
can
affect
the
appearance
of
cards.
When
evaluating
a
card,
make
sure
that:
•
The
overlays
are
being
applied
properly:
•
Each
overlay
is
applied
completely
to
the
card.
•
The
material
adheres
well
to
the
edges
of
the
card.
•
The
overlay
does
not
come
off
when
the
card
is
bent
or
twisted.
•
The
card
is
debowed
correctly.
•
The
impression
is
positioned
correctly
and
has
the
proper
depth.
If
you
need
to
make
adjustments
to
the
laminator
or
overlay
settings,
refer
to
the
“Printer
Manager”
section
of
the
printer’s
Installation
and
Administrator’s
Guide
.
