selections prevent you from printing over or damaging the area of the card
containing the magnetic stripe, smart chip, or punched slot.
The Dual Side: CR-80/Magstripe selection should be selected only when printing
onto both sides of a standard CR-80 card which has a magnetic stripe on the back.
This option allows you to print and overlay the entire front of a card while
applying an overlay only onto the area opposite the magnetic stripe on the back of
a card. This prevents the magnetic stripe from being damaged. Although this
option prevents the overlay from being applied to the magnetic stripe area of a
card, it is still possible to print text or images over the magnetic stripe. Therefore,
when designing the back of your card format, you must be careful not to place any
printable objects over the magnetic stripe area of the card. Note that the Print Both
Sides option must be selected to print onto both sides of a card.
The JIS II Magstripe Side option should be selected only when printing onto cards
with a Japanese standard JIS II magnetic stripe. Select the card size option thatÕs
appropriate for the type of card you are using (see Section 4-C for important card
stock information).
NOTE: Although all standard Pro-L printers are capable of printing onto oversized cards, a special
version of the printer is required if you also need to encode the magnetic stripe of oversized
cards. Please contact your authorized reseller if you would like more information.
Color Matching
Click on this option to select the appropriate color matching option for your print
job. Select None if you are more interested in print speed rather than print color, if
you have already color corrected your image for printing, or if you are using some
other third party color matching software.
Select Algebraic if you would like the printer driver to make very simple, yet fast,
color balance adjustments. This option gives you more natural looking images
without actually utilizing any specific color matching software and without
slowing down the processing speed of the printer driver. When selected, this color
matching method can be customized by selecting the Controls button.
Select Monitor if you would like the printer driver to make color corrections
similar to the Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching
algorithm. This option shifts colors more radically so the colors in your image will
more closely match how they appear on your monitor.
The FargoColorª option is only available when the printerÕs optional color
matching software upgrade has been installed. Select this option to enable color
matching profiles written specifically for your printer. The FargoColor option
automatically adjusts the color of your image according to preconfigured printer
profiles and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color match
compliant with ICC standards. Please note that since the FargoColor option is
intended to match photographic color hues as closely as possible, you may notice
that some colors may appear slightly muted when printing simple spot colors.
