Using the Rotate 180 Degrees (Front or Back)

Use this option to change the position of the printed image in relation to the set location of a

card's Magnetic Stripe or smart chip.

Step

Procedure

Select the

Rotate Front 180 Degrees option to rotate the image on the front of the card by 180

degrees when printed.
OR
Select the

Rotate Back 180 Degrees option to rotate the image on the back of the card by 180

degrees when printed.

3.9.5.2

Using the Disable printing option

Use this option to disable the printing capabilities of the Printer while still allowing the Printer to

encode cards. (Note: This option is useful to encode or re-encode preprinted cards without

wasting additional time or printing supplies.)

Step

Procedure

Select this option to ensure sending no print data to the Printer (while sending all encoding instructions

according to how they are configured within the software).
This option also allows you to laminate the card.

3.9.5.3

Using the Dual Pass and Invert F-Panel Image options

•

Dual Pass option: This refers to the fact that the fluorescing dye can be applied to a

separate panel of HDP InTM Film. (

Note: First, the YMC ink is applied to a panel of InTM

Film; then, the F and possibly K are applied to a separate panel. If this is not done, the

fluorescent ink tends to mix with the YMC colors and lose its fluorescent qualities; it also

tends to become invisible.)
Use the default

Dual Pass

option if using the fluorescent image in places where other dye is

used or if selecting

Invert F Panel

•

Invert F-Panel option: This refers to the ability to cause light or white areas of the image to

fluoresce and dark colors to remain dark on the printed card when exposed to a UV light.

(

Note: This was requested because the fluorescent dye color is bright when black light is

applied to it. By default, the dark areas of the image will fluoresce on the card and the

lighter or white areas will have no dye applied.)
The User can select the

Invert F-Panel option to cause the black in the design to show as

dark on the card. This option is recommended if the user is printing a photo.
