Writing software for ImageCard/UltraGrafix
series printers
To create software that works with an ImageCard/UltraGrafix series printer,
you can order DataCard Raster Printer Application Programming Interface
(API). This kit contains a manual on customizing software to work with the
printer, which includes sample code, libraries, and the DataCard Software
Developer's Manual for Desktop Raster Printers (part number 526720-002). This
is an electronic document that you can view with the Adobe Acrobat™
reader.
incomplete cards according to your policy for handling the confidential
data that might be on the card.
The printer is installed with a default spool setting of "Spool printing so
program finishes printing faster." Use this setting, not "Print directly to
printer." The default setting is required to print multiple copies of the
same card, print two-sided cards, and enable the Retry button in
messages boxes on the PC. You can find this setting by opening the
printer Properties dialog box (see Chapter 3). In Windows 95/98, select
the Details tab and click on the Spool Settings button. In Windows NT,
click on the Scheduling tab.
Be sure to look at a file called README.RTF for more information on
using and working with the printer. This file is on disk 1 of the driver
installation diskettes.
