Whether to apply topcoat or overlay material to the front of the card, back of the

If you use a card creation application specifically designed to create cards,
that application might send settings with cards that override driver settings.
The Printing Preferences dialog box also provides access to the About dialog box,
which shows the printer driver version.
Settings that control the non-printing operation of the printer are in the Properties
dialog box for the printer. These settings include:
•
Port to which the printer is attached
•
Permissions for other users of the PC
•
Printer sharing
The SmartDriver provides help for the Printing Preferences dialog box, and
Windows 2000 or XP provides help for the Properties dialog box. Help provides
information about specific settings of the printer driver. Help does not include step-
by-step procedures or detailed conceptual information.
Use the Properties dialog box
