Performing management tasks at the host PC
The user at the host PC has more control over the printer and more information about the printer. This section
describes some tasks performed at the host PC.
For Windows XP and 2000, the user must be logged in with Print, Manage Printers, and Manage Documents
permissions. For Windows NT, the user must be logged in as a user with Full Control permission.
•
Manage all jobs in the print queue. You can use Print Manager to view all jobs in the print queue and to pause
or delete any jobs in the print queue, no matter who submitted the job. The job remains in the print queue until
it has been sent to the printer. See Windows help for information on using Print Manager.
•
See and respond to messages. If the printer is not able to process and print a card, the printer driver displays a
message on the host PC, not the client PC. You can see the message and view help, which guides you in
resolving the situation. Printing for all users is suspended until the situation is resolved.
•
On Windows XP, 2000, and NT, set printer values, such as ribbon type, for all users. The values you set in the
Printing Preferences or Default Document Properties dialog box apply to all users. Several values can be
changed at client PCs, but those values apply only to the print jobs being sent. Values you set are used at client
PCs after the client PC queries the host PC. Open the Printing Preferences or Default Document Properties
dialog box at each client PC after setting values at the host PC to query the host PC. (You can close the dialog
box at the client PC after viewing it.) If you do not open the Properties dialog box, the client PC does not query
the host PC, the first card printed will not use the new settings, and you will need to send the card to print again.
•
On Windows Me and 98, set or view values that control card processing for all users. Record the ribbon type so
you can set it correctly at the client PC. The values you set for Mag Stripe encoding can affect all users.
•
View printer status. The host PC runs the Printer Toolbox and all status functions. The Printer Toolbox is open
by default. See
for details.
•
Use all features of the Smart Driver™ Toolbox. The Printer Toolbox on the host PC provides access to settings,
including edge to edge settings and color controls.
•
Run the firmware update utility. The host PC displays a prompt when you need to run the firmware update
utility. The utility works only from a PC with the printer directly connected to it.
Using the printer from the client PC
For Windows XP, 2000, and NT, users at the client PC must be logged into the host PC and must have Print
permission to the printer. Users at the client PC can perform several actions, including:
•
Print a card using an application at the client PC. At the client PC, you can use an application to print cards by
selecting the printer in the application. See
for details.
•
Print a card using an application and magnetic stripe fonts from the client PC. When you print from an
application such as Microsoft Word, you can type text and format it using fonts provided by the printer driver.
•
For Windows Me and 98, set card design values. Select the same Ribbon Type as the Host PC. For other
settings, such as Magnetic Stripe Encoding Format, the printer must support the setting you select but the
setting can be different from the Host PC setting.
•
For Windows XP, 2000, and NT, change card design settings, including settings such as landscape or portrait
orientation. Many settings are read from the host PC and cannot be selected.
•
Do not use the Restore Defaults feature on any operating system. The Restore Defaults function attempts to
query the printer to verify its features and cannot access the printer over the network.
•
Pause or delete print jobs you submitted from Print Manager at the client PC. The card job remains in the print
queue until it is sent to the printer. See Windows help for information on using Print Manager.
•
View status of the client PC. The Printer Toolbox dialog box is also available on the client PC. It displays the
client status and a reminder that the host PC provides messages and additional status information.
