XPS Card Printer Installation and User Guide 74
Printing Text
Printing text using a K panel can make text look crisp, because only one panel is used for
printing. Fine text is often more readable when printed with more power.
The font you choose also affects how easy it is to read printed text. The printer reliably prints 6
pt Arial font. Bold, sans-serif fonts are more readable after
printing than serif fonts, or fonts with thin strokes, as shown at
right. Fonts that print well are shown toward the top of the card.
When printing one-color cards, make sure text is formatted as
black. Text formatted with a color (such as blue) in the ID
software is dithered by the driver and might have a broken appearance.
Printing Graphics
When printing one-color cards, the XPS Card Printer Driver dithers color
and grayscale graphics. Dithering converts areas other than black and
white to dots so the single-color ribbon can approximate the lightness
and darkness of the original graphic.
Monochrome means one-color. When printing cards, the opposite of monochrome is full-color
or YMC printing.
