TrueMatch™ Printing Technology The SD Series card printers lead the industry by providing TrueMatch color printing that conforms to the same color standard used by Microsoft and Hewlett Packard in their viewing devices such as monitors and LCD screens. The TrueMatch printing technology emulates the Internet standard sRGB color space. TrueMatch printing technology greatly improves the screen to printed card color match compared to the SP and CP Series card printers.
Match SP (converts colors like the SP Series card printers) No color management This setting can be changed by using the Printer Manager, logged in as WebAdmin or WebService. Smart Card Encoding Options Integrate a high level of security with the SD260, SD260S, SD260L and SD360 card printer smart card encoding options. The SD Series printers offer both contact and contactless smart card encoding options.
Secure Reject Bin (feature unique to the SD360) The SD360 card printer offers a separate reject bin. Rejected cards can now be sent to a separate location, keeping them apart from the good cards in the output hopper. Input Hopper Empty Notification (feature unique to the SD360) The new design of the SD360 card printer includes a sensor that detects when the input hopper is empty. This provides notification via an illuminated icon on the printer display panel that the card hopper is empty.
The driver provides control of advanced card production features with escape codes that can be integrated into most card production applications. Escapes are provided for topcoat control, print blocking, and magnetic stripe encoding, embossing, laminating, and input hopper selection. For applications where a direct program interface is preferred, a driver SDK is available that uses a standard Windows API and requires no additional files or configuration.
User Guide: Provides operator information about the printer setup, troubleshooting and day-to-day printer operations Convenient, Browser-Based Printer Manager The browser-based Printer Manager allows users to check printer status and control printer settings, all in a single interface. It is no longer necessary to remember what settings are controlled by the driver, toolbox, or what settings are updated by printer diagnostics.
Detailed information regarding the Printer Manager can be found in the Printer Guide that is found by clicking on the Datacard XPS Card Printer icon on the desktop. This helpful icon is installed during the printer installation process.
The browser-based Printer Manager is available in the following languages: • Arabic • English • German • Italian • Japanese • Korean • Spanish • Traditional Chinese Trade Agreement Act (TAA) Compliant The SD Series printers are proudly manufactured in the U.S.A. and thus, are compliant with the Trade Agreement Act.
