Description
Select the Card Size option:
CR-80: This is the default card size selection for the Card Printer with a print area
53.6mm x 85.5mm x 30mil (3.375 in. x 2.125 in. x 30 mil).
CR-79: Use this selection to print to cards with a print area 53.6mm X 85.5mm X 30 mil
(2.110 in. x 3.366in. x 30 mil).
Note: These print area dimensions are 1mm (.04 in.) larger than the actual card size.
This extension enables the Printer to overprint images so they appear edge-to-edge
when transferred to the card.

program to the exact Print Length and Print Width dimensions listed in the Card Size
panel.
These two items display the actual card size.
