Orientation
Select either Portrait or Landscape. Selecting Portrait causes the card to print in a
vertical orientation. Selecting Landscape causes the card to print in a horizontal
orientation. An icon illustrating a printed card helps represent the difference
between the two.
Overlay
This option is only applicable if you have selected a Ribbon Type with a clear
overlay (O) panel. If using such a ribbon, select this option to display options for
controlling how the ribbons clear overlay panel will be applied.
The Overlay Side options enable the printer to place a clear, protective overlay
over the entire printable area of the given card size. All dye-sublimation prints
must have either the ribbons clear overlay panel or a separate overlaminate
applied to them to prevent premature wear or fading. Select the No Overlay option
if you do not wish to apply an overlay, or select Overlay Front Side, Overlay Back
Side, or Overlay Both Sides to specify the side(s) of the card you would like to
overlay.
If laminating with PolyGuard, note that you MUST NOT apply the ribbon overlay
to the side of the card that will be laminated, since the overlay will interfere with
the adhesion of the overlaminate. Be sure to always double-check these settings
before printing. For example, if you selected the Laminate Front Side option from
the Lamination controls, DO NOT select the Overlay Front Side option.
This SmartShield Side options are only applicable if you are using the printers
optional SmartGuard Security Feature and you have enabled its SmartShield
option. If so, you must select one of these SmartShield options in order to print
your custom SmartShield Security Image. Select SmartShield Front Side,
SmartShield Back Side, or SmartShield Both Sides to specify the side(s) of the
card on which you would like your custom security image to appear. If the No
SmartShield option is selected, your custom security image will not print even if it
is encoded on your SmartGuard Access Card. This is a convenient way of turning
the SmartShield Security Feature on or off. Note that it is not possible to apply an
overlay and a SmartShield image to the same side of a card.
Pause for Low Ribbon
When this option is selected, the printer will beep, pause, and the "Low
Ribbon/Clean" message will display on the printer's LCD when approximately 10
prints remain on the print ribbon. At this point, you can either (a) replace the
ribbon and press the Pause/Resume button to continue printing with a new ribbon
