2.8.6 ID/Log Tab
The ID/Log is a driver utility that builds a database of card transactions in the printer’s
host computer.
ID/Log records data encoded on the card’s magnetic stripe, together with date, time, and the
printer’s serial number. The data set can be uploaded at any time to a central archive, thus
providing a means for security officers to validate the card by comparing it with
tamper-proof “real data”.
To access the ID/Log screen, select Start > Printers and Faxes. Right click on the Zebra P630i
or Zebra P640i printer listing. Select Printing Preferences > ID/Log.
Important • Make sure Status Polling Frequency is enabled by selecting Normal or
Reduced. To access the Status Polling Frequency option, select Start > Printers and Faxes.
Right click on the Zebra P630i or Zebra P640i printer listing. Select Properties >
Device Settings > Control > Advanced Utilities.
Important • In order to log either Magnetic Stripe or Barcode EIN data, EIN Readback must
be enabled. Enable EIN Readback can be found on the Magnetic Encoding tab; see
Section 2.8.5.
