Glossary of Terms (continued)
Term Definition
Driver Software utility installed in Windows, that interfaces an
application to rasterize image data and include command codes
so the Printer can process the file.
Dual Pass option Dual Pass option: This refers to the fact that the fluorescing
dye can be applied to a separate panel of HDP Film. (Note:
First, the YMC ink is applied to a panel of HDP 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 visible.)
It is recommended that the user use the default “Dual Pass”
option if the fluorescent image is used in places where other dye
is used or if the “Invert F panel” option is selected.
Duplex Printing Printing on the front and the back of the card.
Dwell Time The speed at which the card moves across the Transfer and
Lamination Roller, measured in seconds/inch (sec/in). This can
be adjusted in the Driver to ensure adhesion and card flatness.
Dye Migration The diffusion of dye out of the card surface and into another
receptive surface, such as a vinyl pouch card holder, resulting in
a faded image.
Dye-Sublimation Also called dye diffusion/thermal transfer, it is the process of
heating a dye suspended in a cellulous substrate until the dye
can flow, diffusing into the dye receptive surface of the card or
InTM film. This produces the image in the surface of the card.
E-card An abbreviation for electronic card. A generic term used to
reference any card with built-in electronic devices such as
Smart Cards or prox cards.
E-card Docking
Station
The device in the Printer that accepts Smart Cards with an ISO
Smart Card contact Station. This allows the User to write to the
Smart Card chip with a standard RS-232 interface in the back of
the Printer or with the optional built-in Encoder.
