application to
your

System to
ensure that your
card design will
work in ID Works
Production.
ID Works Designer includes features that cannot be used with the
Card Personalization System. The Designer application does not
know what kind of output device you will use, so it cannot give
feedback at design time to tell you that you are using a feature that
your System does not support. Furthermore, the options installed in
your Card Personalization System also affect which ID Works
features you can use. This section explains which ID Works features
you should avoid in your card designs.
Conversely, the Card Personalization System has features that other
card printers do not, and those features unique to the Card
Personalization System require special procedures in ID Works
Designer. This section also explains how to implement special Card
Personalization System features in your ID Works projects.
Project Properties
You must specify that you want to use embossing, indent, or
magnetic stripe fonts resident in the Card Personalization System.
Follow these steps:
1 Open the Edit Project Properties dialog box. (See the Designer
online help topic, “Access the Edit Project Properties dialog box”.)
2 On the Printer Fonts tab, select Display Printer Fonts and then
select your Card Personalization System as the Card Printer.
