ColorManagement—Specify the type of color management to use.
None disables color management in the printer and allows color management to be
handled by the application.
sRGBColorSpace renders images to look similar to those displayed on PC monitors using
the standard Red, Green, and Blue color space.
MatchSP results in printing that closely matches legacy card printers.
ColorMatchB_0–10], ColorMatchG_[0–10], ColorMatchR_[0–10]—The ColorMatch settings
for Blue(B), Green(G), and Red (R), are used by the printer to make sure that the print color
output is consistent for all ribbon types. Each value has been calibrated so that the colors that
print on a card are the same for every ribbon type. We recommend that you do not change
these settings except under the guidance of your service provider.
If any of the ColorMatch settings are changed, they cannot be restored by clicking
Restore Defaults. To restore the color match settings to their original values, set
ColorMatchR_10 to 0 and click Set Current. Power off the printer, and then power
it on again. This restores all 33 of the ColorMatch settings to their original
calibrated values.
ColorMatchMode—Use the ColorMatchMode setting to enable or disable the ColorMatchB/
G/R values for SD160 printers only. Enable tells the printer to use the ColorMatch settings for
all ribbon types. Disable uses the color settings that were in effect with the previous version
of the SD160 firmware. If you have upgraded your SD160 printer firmware from a version
prior to D.2.15.x‐x, select Disable to keep your card production consistent with the cards
printed earlier.
FPower—Modify the print intensity for the F panel of UV ribbon.
Increase the value to make UV printing more defined on the card.
Decrease the value to reduce the UV intensity or prevent frequent ribbon breaks when
printing with a UV ribbon.
FPowerDuplex—Modify the print intensity for the back side F panel of UV ribbon.
Increase the value to make UV printing more defined on the card.
Decrease the value to reduce the UV intensity or to prevent frequent ribbon breaks when
printing with a UV panel.
KPower—Modify the print intensity for K (single‐color) panel or K (single‐color) ribbon.
Increase the value to make single‐color printing thicker and more defined on the card.
Decrease the value for crisp bar codes or to prevent frequent ribbon breaks when
printing with the K panel.
