Photo Fields
Because the 150i System does not support graphics, photo fields will
be ignored.
If your 275/280P/295 System includes the UltraGrafix option, photo
fields will behave as described in the ID Works Administrator’s Guide
with the following exceptions:
• The field must be on the front side of the card design.
• The Topcoat setting is ignored. See “Topcoat” on page 5.
• Datacard recommends that any border used be black.
• Ghosted photos are not supported.
• Datacard recommends that the Configure K-Panel Printing utility
in the ID Works Administrator application not be used with the
Card Personalization System. The Datacard 275/280P/295 Plug-
in automatically optimizes graphics for printing with a one-color
ribbon.
Magnetic Stripe Fields
If your 275/280P/295 System includes a magnetic stripe option (all
150i Systems have magnetic stripe capability), ID Works magnetic
stripe fields will behave as described in the ID Works Administrator’s
Guide with the following exception:
• The field should be on the back side of the card design.
See “Designing an ID Works Project to Encode Magnetic Stripes” on
page 11 for complete information.
Embossing/Indent Limitation
On the 275/280P/295 Systems, you can use up to 11 fields that,
combined, use embossing fonts and indent fonts.
Graphic Size Limitation
When the Datacard 275/280P/295 Plug-in prepares data for a 275/
280P/295 System with the UltraGrafix option, it combines all the
information that will be printed with the UltraGrafix option into a
composite graphics file. This includes background graphics, static
