What is a Plug-in?
A plug-in is a software module that provides an interface between the
main ID Works applications and a peripheral device (such as a card
printer) or between the peripheral device and a component within the
device (such as an encoder for magnetic stripes).
The printer plug-in connects to the ID Works application and the
magnetic stripe plug-in connects to the printer plug-in.
You can create and save multiple configurations for the ID Works
Basic. A configuration is a group of settings tailored to the way you
use the device. For each configuration, you can specify certain
options to suit your needs.
