ImageCard/UltraGrafix (Express and Select Classes) User’s Guide

2-25

The basics of printing from an application

You can use the printer to print cards from many applications. If you use
DataCard's QuikWorks, see the user information for the application to learn
how to do it. If you use an application in which you can save the result and
edit it again, such as Windows WordPad, follow these guidelines to print
cards:

•

In the application, select the ImageCard/UltraGrafix printer as the
current printer.

•

Using the application's page setup feature, set the paper size to CR80
Card 2.13" x 3.38" and set all the margins to 0.10", 0.05" or "edge to edge"
if the application supports this. Select the orientation for the card
design—either portrait or landscape.

•

Format the text to print using a TrueType ( ) font.

•

See Chapter 5 for information on advanced operations such as encoding
magnetic stripe data or printing on both sides of a card.

Applications in which you can save the results in a graphic format
only, such as Windows Paint, will require experimenting to get an
image size that prints on one card only.
