4 Windows 95 and 98 Printer Driver Installation and Technical Reference
Printer Driver Limitations
The Datacard printer driver for Windows 95 or 98 does not support:
· Two-sided badge printing using the Datacard QuikWorks software
· Encapsulated postscript (.eps) files
· Microsoft Windows 3.1 and NT (see separate driver for Windows NT and 2000)
· NTT (or J) encoding
· Smart card personalization
· Barcode generation: your Windows application must generate the barcode and
pass it to the driver for printing
· “Indent” fonts do not display in WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get)
· Encryption capability as required by Visa
· The 150i password for the production of major brands of financial cards (Visa,
MasterCard, etc.)
· Any magnetic stripe encoding schemes other than IATA, ABA, or TTS
· Network printing: because of the complex nature of networking, Datacard does
not provide Help Desk technical support for the printer driver in networked
applications
Embossing Limitations
Cards pass through the embosser in landscape orientation and the embossing
wheels print characters horizontally. Therefore, embossing must be limited to
landscape orientation.
