XID 8300 Printer Driver
6.2 Software and Hardware Setup
6.2.1 Plug-in Info
When a Plug-in is installed properly and appears in the list of Installed Plug-ins, clicking on it will select and
activate it.
The Plug-in is loaded and additional information of the Plug-in is displayed in the Plug-in Info box as shown
below:
Encoder Position:
This shows whether a Plug-in encodes contact or contactless chips (this determines the position where the
card is moved in the printer, either to internal encoding position or to the right side of the printer)
Can Precode:
This shows whether a Plug-in can perform a precode process (see chapter 6.7 for further information about
Precoding).
Multi Threaded:
If the Plug-in and the encoder hardware's driver is able to communicate with several devices
simultaneously, the encoding process on multiple printers will be faster. However, most encoder
manufacturers explicitly restrict the communication to one device at a time only, so the encoding process for
further devices must be delayed until the encoding for one device is finished. The Plug-in must provide the
information whether encoding in parallel is possible or not, and the printer driver will delay the encoding on
other devices with the same Plug-in on runtime until the one is completely finished.
Note: This only affects the encoding process, which usually takes a fraction of a second. The card
positioning and printing are done in parallel, independent of the capability of the Plug-in.
