FARGO electronic Card Printer Printer User Manual


 
Select Algebraic if you would like the printer driver to make very simple, yet fast,
color balance adjustments. This option gives you more natural looking images
without actually utilizing any specific color matching software and without
slowing down the processing speed of the printer driver. When selected, this color
matching method can be customized by selecting the Controls button.
Select Monitor if you would like the printer driver to make color corrections
similar to the Algebraic option but through a more complex color matching
algorithm. This option shifts colors more radically so the colors in your image will
more closely match how they appear on your monitor.
The FargoColorª option is only available when the printerÕs optional color
matching software upgrade has been installed. Select this option to enable color
matching profiles written specifically for your printer. The FargoColor option
automatically adjusts the color of your image according to preconfigured printer
profiles and default system profiles. This results in a very precise color match
compliant with ICC standards. Please note that since the FargoColor option is
intended to match photographic color hues as closely as possible, you may notice
that some colors may appear slightly muted when printing simple spot colors.
Controls
See Picture Controls.
Disable Printing
Selecting this option disables the printing capabilities of the printer, yet still allows
the printer to encode cards. This option is useful if you would like to encode or re-
encode preprinted cards without wasting additional time, effort, or printing
supplies. When this option is selected, all print data will not be sent to the printer,
while all encoding instructions will be sent according to how they are configure
within the printer driver.
Dither Mode
This option only effects objects printed with a monochrome resin ribbon type.
Select the appropriate dither method according to the type of image you are
printing.
Dye-Sub Intensity
See Picture Controls.
Enlarge/Reduce
Available only in the Macintosh printer driver, this option alters the size of the
printed image between the integers of 25% and 400%. A setting of 100% indicates
the document will be printed at actual size. Please note that significantly enlarging
or reducing the image may cause the image to appear pixelated or ÒjaggyÓ when
printed.
