Using The Driver - Polaroid 539957-020 Rev. A User Manual

• When both the printer and PC use the organization's network, the network
affects the speed of data transmission, and can affect who can use the printer.
• When the printer and PC are connected using a USB cable, the printer and PC
automatically set up a local network. The printer has an IP address, which can
be used to view the Printer Manager. (See
Manager".) Each time another card printer is connected to the PC, the local
network is updated to include the new printer. For best results, do not
connect another printer while using Printer Manager.
• Applications can also be customized to communicate with the printer
through the driver. If the application you use is customized, follow
instructions in the application.
Hints & Tips

• Each PC can have up to 4 printers connected using USB cables.
• Each PC can be connected to many printers over the network.
• Each printer has a separate instance of the driver.
• Each printer needs to have a different name. The driver takes care of this
requirement.
