PRINTING A CARD

A large number of Windows

®

 applications allow documents to be printed (for example the tools in the Microsoft Office suite, i.e. MS Word, MS Access, 

MS Excel, MS PowerPoint).
To familiarize yourself with the layout of a card and how to configure its format and printing, we provide the following example.

In Microsoft

® 

Word

After having set the Evolis printer as the default:
• Start the MS-Word application.
• Under Orientation, select 

Landscape

.

• Change the size of your document by selecting type 

CR80

 (or by customizing the document to dimensions of 8.6 cm x 5.4 cm).

You are ready to customize your card by adding the various items that go to make up a card:
• Logo and illustration.
• Identification photo.
• Fixed and variable text.
• Barcodes, etc.

When it is ready, click on 

File

 then 

Print

.

NOTE

Your printer is supplied with the cardPresso software that allows you to create and personalize cards.
