User’s Guide for the ImageCard® IV Printer
–
Set the paper size to CR80 Card 2.13" x 3.38".
–
Set all the margins to the same value as the driver. (You can set the margins
in the application wider than the driver, if desired.)
–
Set the orientation for the card design—either portrait or landscape.

Format the text to print using only a TrueType (
) font. To print using the K
(solid black) panel of the print ribbon, choose the Black color in the application. All
other colors are printed using the color panels of the print ribbon (if you use a
color print ribbon).
5
To print on the front of the card, keep data on one page. To print the front and back
of the card, send a two-page document. (Make sure Print on Both Sides is set to
Automatic.)
6
To encode magnetic stripe data, do one of the following:
–
Also on the front of the card, enter the information to be encoded on the
magnetic stripe and format the text using one of the following fonts:
•
Track 1—Magnetic Stripe
•
Track 2—Magnetic Stripe
•
Track 3—Magnetic Stripe
•
Track NTT—Magnetic Stripe (use only on a PC running a Japanese
language Windows operating system)
–
If your application does not allow you to select fonts, use magnetic stripe
escapes to identify data. See
“Magnetic stripe encoding” on page D-1
for
details.
You must select the SmartDriver as the printer in the application for magnetic
stripe fonts to be visible. In addition, Windows must be set to display all fonts.
(Some PC’s are set to display TrueType fonts only.) See Windows help for
more information.
The text should use a small type size to keep characters on the same line. In
many applications, you can type a smaller value, such as 4 points, for the type
size. To view the characters in a small type size, zoom in on the text. Also,
follow these guidelines:
•
Avoid formatting characters, such as tabs and returns, in the data for one
magnetic stripe track. In some cases, these characters are converted to
spaces, which might not be valid characters for the track.
•
Do not use typographic features, such as letter spacing, on magnetic
stripe text.
•
The paragraph style must be Normal.
•
The magnetic stripe text, along with graphics and text to print on the front
of the card, must be on the first page.

When the card data is captured and formatted correctly, select the application’s
print function to send the card to print. The printer driver keeps cards in a queue if
