Defaults: The Printer Driver software has default Transfer Temperature and Dwell Time settings
that deliver the best transfer for these card types. These defaults automatically configure based
on the card type, Ribbon type and whether printing single- or dual-sided.
Card Type Selection: Before printing, if using these standard Fargo card types, ensure
selecting the appropriate card type from the

Card tab of the Printer Driver.

Proper Settings: Not all card types are accommodated by these default settings. In some
cases, experimentation is required to find the proper settings.

IMPORTANT:

If you select the wrong option, the wrong Dwell Time and temperature may be

used during the image transfer process resulting in poor adhesion of the InTM Film or card
warping.

If using a card stock other than listed, use the Custom 1 options to save custom Dwell Time and
dwell temperature controls on the

Image Transfer

tab.

a. Click

Custom options and enter a name for the card stock.

b. Click

Image Transfer tab to adjust the Dwell Time and temperature sliders to the

appropriate settings (see next page).

Note: These settings will be saved for the custom

card type when the Printer Driver setup window is closed.

Custom Card stock:

To determine the proper settings for custom card stock, apply the

Tape Adhesion Test. See Section 7.1.2 Conducting the Tape Adhesion Test.
