Printing and Non-Printing Areas
The card design can have areas where printing is not allowed. Such areas include
a magnetic stripe, signature panel, or smart card chip. ID software often manages
such non-printing areas automatically.
If you use other applications to print cards, such as Microsoft
©
Word, define non-
printing areas using the XPS Card Printer Driver or escape codes. The XPS Card
Printer Driver includes standard non-printing areas, such as three-track magnetic
stripe and smart card chip. Both printing and topcoat are blocked in these areas.
•
See
“Set the Print Area”
to define standard non-printing areas.
•
See
“Use Print Blocking Escapes”
for other areas.
