Printing a Card
Printing with the P330i Card Printer is similar to printing with any other printer in a
Windows environment.
• The Printer Driver Software is installed on your computer (see Chapter 2).
•The P330i Printer is connected to the power source and the computer (see Chapter 2).
•The P330i Printer is selected by either the Operating System or the appropriate
application software program.
• Printer Properties are set (the factory default values will be appropriate for many
applications).
• Card printing is directed by the appropriate application software program.
Setting Printer Properties
Printer Properties can be set either at the Operating System level or within the application
software program used for printing cards.
Preferences settings can configure the P330i Card Printer for Landscape (wide) or Portrait
(tall) printing orientation, and allow the user to verify that the desired ribbon is installed in
the printer. (Monochrome ribbons are selected via the drop-down menu.)
If the P330i Printer includes the optional magnetic card stripe encoder, encoding
parameters and coercivity can be set.
Printer cleaning can be initiated from the Tools window (printer cleaning can also be
initiated at the printer; see Chapter 4).
Note • In the following description of setting Printer Properties, only those properties
and options that are suitable for being set by the User are described. The User should not
make selections or set parameters unless they are specifically described in this section
