Cp Driver Data - DataCard CP60 Printer Manual

CP Driver data

The printer can be used with the CP Driver installed on a PC. The CP Driver receives
data from your Windows application and formats it for the printer. The printer can print
one or both sides of the card (duplex printing), print in landscape or portrait
orientation, and print in full color or one color.
The driver formats (renders) the data for each card. It can accept text, photos,
backgrounds, logos and other elements such as bar codes if they are supported by
the Windows application. With the corresponding options, the printer can encode a
magnetic stripe on the front or back of the card and read or program a smart card.
The sample card on this page is printed when you use the "Print Sample Card" button
of the Printer Toolbox, which is part of the CP Driver. It shows typical features of a
card printed using the CP Driver and the printer (with a full-color ribbon).
When you print from the CP Driver, any errors on the printer cause a message to be
displayed on the PC, in addition to being displayed on the printer LCD panel. For best
results, use buttons on the message box to clear the message from the printer and driver. (This also clears the
message from the LCD panel.) Using the driver provides you with advanced features including retrying the card.
