User’s Guide for Magna™ Platinum™ Series Printers
Changing required printer settings
After installing the printer driver, there are several other tasks you might need to
perform. The required tasks are:
•
For Windows 2000, XP, and NT, set permissions to the printer for other users of
the PC. See
“Setting printer permissions” on page 7-22 for the steps to follow.
•
For Windows 2000, XP, and NT, make sure that users of the printer have
permission to write files to the temp file location specified in the PC configuration.
If the temp file location is not specified, the driver uses the root location, such as
Win2K or WINNT. See Windows help for more information.
•
View and change settings in the Properties, Default Document Properties, or
Printing Preferences dialog box. See
“Working with Properties and other driver
dialog boxes” on page 3-2 for steps to follow.
Open the Properties, Printing Preferences, or Default Document Properties
dialog box using the Printers window so the settings apply to all applications.
– Select whether to print on both sides (duplex printing). Select and apply this
setting before making other changes. A duplex module is required to print on
two sides.
– Select the print ribbon type. This setting is optional for a locally attached
printer. This setting must be selected for a printer used over a network. See
“Print ribbons” on page B-2 for information on supported print ribbons.
– If the printer has a topcoat or overlay module, select whether to apply the
material to the front of the card, the back of the card, or both.
– If the printer has a magnetic stripe module, select the magnetic stripe
coercivity and encoding format.
•
For a networked printer, change settings first on the administrative or host PC and
then on user or client PCs:
– Printer type (for shared printers only)
– Print on both sides (must correspond with the printer features)
– Print ribbon type (must match ribbon in the printer)
– If the printer has a topcoat or overlay module, select whether to apply the
material to the front of the card, the back of the card, or both.
– Mag stripe coercivity and encoding format can be set from the administrative
or host PC. The client or user PCs can use the “Use printer settings” values if
all cards will use the same encoding format. Make sure that mag stripe
settings on all PCs result in readable cards.
Optional settings, such as orientation and print margin, can also be changed.
