The Save & Restore Tab
The Save & Restore Tab is used to save your driver settings to a file, restore the settings from a file, or restore the
settings to the original defaults.
If you change your driver settings it is recommended that you save these settings to a file, doing so will allow you to
back-up and restore your driver settings:
In case your driver is updated
In case your driver settings are changed
In case your driver is re-installed
Migrating your driver settings to other PC systems
Create driver settings profiles for your card designs
The Save & Restore Settings:
Restore Settings from File
This button is used to load ‘Settings Files’ (files with an .MDS extension).
These contain driver settings that have been saved using the Save
Settings to File button.
Save Settings to File
This button is used to save the driver settings to a file with an .MDS
extension. This allows for the backup of driver settings in case the
driver is uninstalled or updated, and has a variety of other possible
advantages such as sharing driver settings between computers and
creating driver profiles for different card designs.
Restore Defaults:
Restore Factory Defaults
This button is used to reset all the settings in the driver to their original default settings. Be sure to back up your driver
settings if you want to keep a record of them, this can be done by using the Save Settings to File button.
The Magnetic Encoding Tab
Card Settings
Encode Only
This option will enable the user to carry out magnetic encoding from
a badging application without printing the associated image; this is
useful for encoding cards that are already in use. No dye film will be
used.
Perform Verification
When enabled, the printer will self-check (verify) all magnetic encoded
cards prior to printing the image - to ensure that encoding has been
successful.
Any unsuccessful cards will be re-encoded up to 3 times. If still
unsuccessful, the card will be rejected and the printer will give an error
message.
Performing verification will increase the time to print but it will improve
encoding reliability. In the interest of speed this option is turned off by
default.
Coercivity
This is a measurement of a magnetic materials resistance to being
magnetised. Set this option to match the Coercivity of your cards, either
Low Coercivity (LoCo) or High Coercivity (HiCo) cards can be encoded. The coercivity your cards should be clearly
labelled on the cards’ packaging.
The driver will ask for confirmation before going ahead with the restore.
