XPS Card Printer Installation and User Guide 146
How to Print on Both Sides of the Card
Some printers include an automatic duplex module which automatically turns the card to print
both sides. Check the configuration label located on the left side of the printer to verify if the
printer includes a duplex module. See
Configuration Label for more information. The method for
printing on both sides depends on the printer model:
• Printers that have a duplex module installed, automatically turn the card to print on
both sides.
• Simplex printers support manual duplex printing. The printer prints one side of the card,
places the card in the card output stacker, and displays a message. The card must be
turned and inserted into the hopper or manual feed slot to print the back of the card.
Using the XPS Card Printer Driver, you can print on both sides
of the card. Use ID software or another PC application to
format and save the card data.
To set up manual duplex:
1. Open the PC application and select the card printer as
the current printer.
2. Use the application's page setup feature:
• Set the paper size to ISO-ID1 2.13 x 3.38 in
• Reduce the margin settings to 0
• Choose the orientation--portrait or landscape
3. Create the card:
• Add graphic elements such as a logo or
background
• Add a photo
• Add text, such as name, address, or ID number
• As you add elements, place them on page 1 or
page 2
4. Open Printing Preferences from the Start menu. See
Open Printing Preferences for the steps to follow.
• On the Layout tab, choose Flip on Short Edge for the
Print on Both Sides setting. Click Apply. The driver
uses the "Short Edge" setting for both "Flip on Short
Edge" and "Flip on Long Edge" settings.
5. Put a card in the input hopper or single feed slot.
6. Click Print to send the card to the printer.
7. The printer processes the first side of the card.
8. The printed card exits to the output hopper.
