A large number of Windows applications permit the printing of a document (for example, the tools
o
f the Microsoft office suite: MS-Word, MS-Access, MS-Excel, MS-Power Point).
To help you familiarize yourself with formatting a card and setting the parameters for its formatting
a
nd printing, we offer the following example:

Please note that this example does not propose to initiate the operator on operating the
MS-Word application. Its purpose is simply to establish a relationship between the gra-
phics of a card and the parameters of the Evolis printer driver that are necessary for the
printing operation.
Setting the parameters of the Evolis print driver from MS-Word:
■ Click on File on the menu bar, then
click on Print.
■ The dialog box informs you that the
Evolis printer has been selected.
Now click on Properties. The Evolis
printer drive dialog box appears.
The printing parameters for this graphics example are:
1. Main dialog box, select:
■
Type of ribbon: Standard 5 panel ribbon (YMCKO).
■
Click on 'Set ribbon' to validate
■
Orientation: Landscape.
■
Copy (number to be determined).
2. Graphic dialog box, select:
■
Black panel: All black points.

3. Click on Apply if you modify a parameter, then on OK to successively close each dialog box.

Consult the help of each dialog box, if necessary. See the « Use of on-line help » paragraph above for
