Project Design Considerations

Print sample cards from the Datacard ID software application to your SR200 or SR300 printer to
ensure that your card design will work in production.
ID Works Designer includes some features that cannot be used with the SR200 & SR300 card
printers and does not provide feedback at design time whether a feature is supported by the
printer. This section explains which ID Works features to avoid in your card designs.
You use the Edit Card Design Properties dialog box to change properties of the overall card
design. (Refer to the ID Works Designer online help topic "Access the Edit Card Design Properties
dialog box".)
