Direction Forward or Reverse, the direction on the card the indent 
printing is to occur
Secondary Font Japanese users print with two different fonts on the same line 
of Emboss or Indent. With Japanese characters, there is a 
distinct meaning between characters of different sizes and 
one field of emboss data can contain characters that need 
different sizes. Without defining a secondary font, either the 
default spacing from the primary font is used or the card 
setup spacing override is used for both fonts. 
Select the Secondary Font check box to enable this option 
and then select the font from the list of available system fonts. 
Click the icon to select Data Field, Feedback Field, or 
Runtime Composite information for this operation.
Preceding 
Operations
Click Add/Modify to open the dialog from which you can 
select the operation(s) to occur before this operation. Use the 
arrows to move the operations from one column to the other.
Ganging Priority
(Maxsys Only)
To improve throughput, indent/emboss operations can be 
ganged. Select the priority for the ganging operation from 
the list. Number 1 is given the highest priority, None is given 
the lowest priority.
Assign Relative 
Module (MX Series 
Only)
If there are multiple Embossing modules in a system, each 
operation defined in Card Setup can be assigned a “relative 
module number” to indicate which Embossing module will 
carry out the operation. This allows the modules to work 
together to increase card throughput.
The MX Series software determines which Embossing module 
is capable of performing each operation and assigns the 
modules to operations that are not given relative numbers. If 
an operation is assigned via relative module number to a 
module that is not capable of performing the operation, the 
software will attempt to reassign the operation to some other 
module. If the reassignment succeeds, card processing is not 
interrupted and a warning message is posted in the event 
log. If the reassignment fails, the software issues an error.
