Before using your printer, you must determine your personalized parameters:
■ T
ype of ribbon for printing the cards
■ Default parameter settings
You will find more detailed information on Evolis ribbons in the ‘Evolis Genuine Product’
Consumables List section.
In general, it is recommended to retain the default parameters determined by the print driver.
Modification of these parameters by an uninformed user could lead to a poor quality of per-
sonalization as well as to hardware damage.
So, stay alert and contact your Evolis dealer, who will guide you in adjusting these
parameters if applicable.
These printing parameters are accessible:
■ From the Start button located at the bottom left on the Windows task bar: select Printers and Faxes.
■ Choose your printer by left-clicking with the mouse, for example Evolis Tattoo2.
■ Click again but with right mouse k
ey to bring up a menu, and select
Pr
operties.
An initial screen for setting the equipment properties parameters now appears.
The principal tabs for defining parameters are ‘Graphic’and ‘Tools’.
‘Graphic’ tab
• Choice of printing mode and of the associated ribbons
• Orient
ation of the printed card
• Number of copies
• Adjustment of the ribbon parameters: color, black panel, overlay panel options
