XPS Card Printer Installation and User Guide 93
• ID Software
• Using the printer plug-in
• Other components of the system
The XPS Card Printer Driver
The XPS Card Printer Driver is provided in the CD Folder, included in the shipping carton. If the
CD is not available, you can download the driver from the Web site link at the bottom of this
page. Choose Support & Drivers > Drivers & Download from the menu. Enter your printer model
in the Enter Product Name or Number area, and click Go.
ID Software
ID software formats the types of data used to print cards. Contact the dealer or distributor from
whom you purchased your printer to obtain ID software.
ID software does not know the capabilities of the printer and you are responsible for selecting
card features that work with the printer you have.
If you do not use ID software, make sure the software you use supports the requirements for
creating cards. If you use magnetic stripe data, you must use an application that saves text as
text and not as a graphic. For example, MS Paint only saves graphic data, while Photoshop saves
both graphic and text data. Fonts and escapes require text be sent from the application as text.
Using the Printer Plug-in
ID software might include a printer plug-in, which takes the data in the ID software and makes it
available in the form the driver can use.
Other Components of the System
An ID or badge system usually includes a camera to take photos, and can include other capture
devices such as those for biometric data. Using and maintaining these components is important
to the quality of cards you produce.
