other equipment needed.
The PC can be powered on before the printer; however, you should wait a few
minutes for the PC to obtain information from the printer. The PC power can also
remain on if the printer is powered off.
The ImageCard IV printer is designed to produce cards continuously. Usually,
cards are sent from a card creation application such as Datacard's ID Works™
which captures, organizes, and formats the information on the card. A card
creation application is special software that handles the types of information used
on cards. See
"Use a card creation application"
You also can make an exception card, which is usually printed on a different type
of card stock and printed outside the normal sequence of processing. For
example, if you use the ImageCard IV printer to issue identification cards, most
cards might be for employees. Security personnel or visitors might have
identification cards printed on different card stock. See
on page 5-6
for the steps to follow.
If you do not have a card creation application, you can use another PC application
to format the information to print on cards. If you are encoding magnetic stripe
