The default name for the ImageCard IV printer, when it is installed, is

SmartDriver. Your printer might have a different name than SmartDriver.

2 Choose the printer settings that correspond to the cards to print. See “Working

Settings might include the following:

– Enable two-sided printing if you plan to print the front and back of the card.
