card. Magnetic stripe encoding, smart card programming, overlay, and topcoat are
options that can be purchased as part of the printer.
The printer driver receives digital information from a card creation application and
processes the data to send to the printer. When the printer receives the data, it prints
the card. The driver keeps track of the progress of the card in the printer and sends
data for the next card as soon as the printer is ready and the data is available.
See “PC and software specifications” on page 1-9 for more information about the
printer driver and the PC on which it runs.
