Printing Cards in the Production Application
You can set up your ID Works project to help Production operators
track the progress of print requests. On the Printing tab of the Card
Design Properties dialog box, select a field to identify print jobs. See
“Printing Cards” in the Operator’s Guide for information on using this
feature in the Production application.
Card Design Considerations
As you are designing your card, keep in mind what you want the card
to do. Will it be used primarily for access control? To record time and
attendance? As name tags? Will cards be examined closely or is it
important for them to be readable from a distance? A single card can
accomplish two or more objectives, but crowding too much
information on a card can impair its usability.
Because approximately eight percent of men and four-tenths of a
percent of women have some “color blindness”, it is not a good idea
to rely entirely on color coding to distinguish between related card
designs.
