Locate a Problem Within the Card Production
System
For typical components of the system, refer to "Card Printer System Overview" on page
one of the following components does not work properly, printing cards can be affected.
The XPS Card Printer Driver

If you need to reinstall the Card Printer Driver to fix a problem, we recommend you
download the latest version of the driver from http://www.datacard.com. Select Support &
Drivers > Drivers & Downloads from the menu. Enter your printer model in the Enter
Product Name or Number area, and click Go.
Card production software

Card production software formats the types of data used to print cards. Make sure that the
card production software features you use work with your printer.
If you do not use card production software, make sure that the software you use supports
the requirements for creating cards. If you use magnetic stripe data, use an application that
saves text as text and not as a graphic. (For example, Microsoft Paint only saves graphic data,
while Adobe Photoshop saves both graphic and text data.) Fonts and escapes require that
text is sent from the application as text.
Printer plug‐in

Card production software might require a printer plug‐in, which makes the data in the card
production software available in the form the Card Printer Driver can use.
Other components of the system

An ID or badge system usually includes a camera to take photos, and may include other
capture devices for biometric data. The proper use and maintenance of these components is
important to the quality of cards you produce.
