First make sure you have specified that printer fonts are used in the
project. See “Project Properties” on page 3. Note that performing the
last step of the procedure (clicking OK) is required. Closing the Edit
Project Properties dialog box in any other way is not adequate, even
if the Printer Fonts tab appears to have the correct settings when you
enter it.
If the fonts still are not available, check that the fonts have been
selected in the driver. See the Installation and Technical Reference
Manual for your printer driver for information on selecting fonts in the
printer driver.
Users Cannot Print to the 150i or 275/280P/295
System
Under the Windows 2000 operating system, a Datacard Card
Personalization System cannot switch back and forth between
printing from ID Works identification software applications and from
non-ID Works applications.
The serial communication port to which the Card Personalization
System is attached is locked by the operating system when the
printer driver is installed. Only the printer driver has access to the
port. Because the ID Works software cannot use the driver, it is
prevented from communicating with the System. The printer driver
can be redirected from the serial communication port that the Card
Personalization System is attached to, allowing the ID Works
software to access the serial port and communicate with the System.
However, this redirection prevents sending information to the System
from any other application. If you need to access the System from the
ID Works software and from other applications, you will need to take
the following steps before you change applications.
