Image Placement Setup
Positioning an Image File
The Image Placement Setup application is used to position graphic images.
This setup uses legacy technology from the Datacard 9000 Series
systems. Datacard recommends that whenever possible, users define
image location using the Card Setup’s Image Element placement
capabilities or in the data stream (refer to “Card Setup” on page 79).
When an image file is used in an Image Placement Setup, a corresponding file
wi
th a DSC extension is saved to the same location on the disk/network. For
example, if the image JohnSmith.bmp is used to create a setup, the file
JohnSmith.dsc is created in the same location when the Image Placement Setup is
saved.
At runtime, the image generator will search the syste
m for any image position
values defined in Card Setups, data streams, or DCPF files. If no such information
exists, the image generator will use the positioning values defined in any DSC file
that corresponds to the name of the image to be printed on the card.
