If you are not using the driver, ask your service provider or software provider for
assistance.
6. Using your ID software, print a card. Click the type of printer with an input hopper or
with a single-feed slot and follow the instructions to print a card.
Does the card print?
If yes, the driver is successfully working with the ID software. Troubleshoot the card
design.
If no, check the following:
In the application, is the correct printer chosen in the Print Setup or Print dialog?
If the printer produced a blank card, you might have the wrong page size or driver
settings.
If the card causes an error, the card might have a type of data the printer does not
support.
This process will not help with card appearance problems. See
HINTS & TIPS
Card Appearance for possible
problems and solutions.
See
Troubleshooting Magstripe Problems if the card includes magstripe data and it causes a
magstripe message.
