Introduction To Printer And Laminator Settings; Printing Properties - DataCard SR200 User Manual

Introduction to Printer and Laminator Settings

Three main tools allow you to create or modify settings that determine how the printer performs
and how cards are printed and laminated:
Printer Driver: Settings made on the Printing Properties dialog box or the Printing

Preferences dialog box are written to the printer driver. These dialog boxes allow you to
specify many of the settings that affect how your SR200 or SR300 card printers function.
Status Monitor: Settings made on the Status Monitor are written to the PC. In cases where a

setting can be made through either the printer driver or on the Status Monitor, the printer
driver takes precedent over the Status Monitor and changes made to encoding in the driver
are not displayed in the Status Monitor or on the LCD panel.
LCD Panel: The printer's LCD panel allows you to view many current printer and laminator

settings as read‐only. To change those settings, use the Status Monitor, or the Printing
Preferences or Printing Properties dialog box. Some printer functions can be performed, and
some settings entered, using the LCD panel.

system administrator.
