Elements of Card Design
Rewritable Card Design
The
SD160
and
SD260
printers
allow
you
to
erase
and
reprint
multiple
times
on
special
rewritable
cards.
Rewritable
cards
are
used
in
applications
that
contain
variable,
or
changing,
information,
such
as
short
‐
term
contractor
or
visitor
badges,
and
customer
loyalty
cards.
A
rewritable
card
design
includes
the
following
elements:
Static
Elements
Elements
that
always
remain
the
same,
such
as
a
company
name
and
logo,
phone
number,
or
website.
Variable
Elements
Elements
that
can
change
from
user
to
user,
such
as
a
photo
or
expiration
date.
Where
you
place
the
variable
elements
determines
how
the
card
will
be
erased.
Refer
to
your
printer’s
Driver
Guide
for
more
information
about
setting
up
the
printer
to
use
the
rewritable
option.
Refer
to
“Print”
on
page 44
for
information
about
the
Printer
Manager
settings
that
control
the
rewritable
function.
Print Bar Codes
Bar
code
design
follows
a
set
of
standards
based
on
the
type
of
bar
code
produced.
Bar
codes
contain
a
series
of
black
lines
(bars)
separated
by
white
areas
(spaces).
Each
character
of
encoded
data
is
represented
by
a
set
of
bars
and
spaces.
A
bar
code
standard
specifies
the
number
and
width
of
bars
and
spaces
needed
to
encode
a
character.
The
standard
also
specifies
the
minimum
size
of
the
white
area,
or
quiet
zone,
that
surrounds
the
bar
code.
Refer
to
Bar
Codes
With
the
Card
Printer
Driver”
on
page 22
for
information
about
how
using
the
Card
Printer
Driver
can
improve
the
probability
that
a
bar
code
prints
using
the
K
panel.
