Card Fields
You change properties of the individual fields on the card design
using the Edit Field Properties dialog box. (See the Designer online
help topic, “Access the Edit Field Properties dialog box”.)
Text and Date Fields
If your 275/280P/295 System includes the UltraGrafix option, you can
specify TrueType or OpenType fonts for text and date fields. They will
behave as described in the ID Works Administrator’s Guide with the
following exceptions:
• The Topcoat setting is ignored. See “Topcoat” on page 5.
• Datacard recommends using the default values for Foreground
Color and Background Color.
• The Use K-Panel if available setting is ignored.
If your System includes embossing fonts, you can use them for text
and date fields with the following limitations:
• Embossing fonts can be used only on the front side of the card.
• On the 150i System, if topping foil is to be applied to the
embossed text, the field must be located in the lower half of the
card. In addition:
• The Left position of the field must be 0.238 inch (6 mm) or
greater.
• The sum of the Left and Width values must be 3.137 inches
(79 mm) or less.
• For a 7 cpi font, the Top position must be between 1.188 and
1.859 inches (30 and 47 mm).
• For a 10 cpi font, the Top position must be between 1.188
and 1.922 inches (30 and 49 mm).
• The Alignment setting is ignored. All text is left-justified.
• The Rotation, Topcoat, Automatically Adjust Font Size, and
foreground and background color settings are ignored.
