Working with printer settings and data
At installation, the Magna Class printer driver uses default
settings for the printer. At setup, you need to view, change, and
save printer and driver settings. As you use the printer, you might
change the card design and need to change settings to reflect
that, or you might need to view settings or data about the printer.
If you use a card creation application specifically designed to
create cards, that application might include card settings that
override driver settings.
Printer driver settings and data are organized differently for Windows
NT and Windows 98. Use the section that applies to the operating
system you use.
Settings and data for Windows NT
Settings that control the printing and personalization of the card are in
the Default Document Properties dialog box for the printer. These
settings include:
•
Card design settings, such as landscape or portrait orientation
•
Topcoat pattern during the print cycle
•
Printer supplies used
•
Cleaning interval
•
Magnetic stripe encoding formats and coercivity
