Installation on WindowsPrinting Cards Using Bidirectional CommunicationIn the Windows environment, the typical printer installation uses bidirectional

communication. See "Installation on Windows" for details about installing the printer. When

bidirectional communication between the printer and driver are active, the following occurs:•The driver “reads” the type of printer connected and its options (such as duplex or

magnetic stripe), and then enables the settings (in the Printer Toolbox and Printing

Preferences) for the features available.

The driver “reads” the type of ribbon in the printer (or, for manual-feed printers, whether

it is set for rewritable cards) and enables settings that correspond to the capabilities of

the print driver monitors the printer, and reads any errors the printer issues. The driver

displays a message when it reads an error. You must correct the problem with the printer

to continue.

When you select some settings, such as edge-to-edge printing, the driver sends the

settings to the you click some buttons, such as “Clean Printer,” the driver sends a command to

the printer and the printer implements the you send a card to print, the following occurs:The driver:— Renders the data so that it can be used by the printer— Polls the printer to determine whether it is busy or ready to print— Sends the card data to the printer— Reacts to information returned by the printer (such as error messages)The printer:— Receives the card data and prints the card— Issues status and other information•When the driver communicates with a network printer, it waits until the printer is

“available” before sending card data. The time between sending a card and the start of

printing is not predictable when you are printing over a network.

Installation on WindowsUnidirectional Printing"Unidirectional" means that the driver sends data to the printer, but does not receive any data

back from the printer—the communication is in one direction only. A unidirectional driver can be

installed on PCs running a Windows operating system. A unidirectional driver is included on the

driver CD or in the driver download files.

You must install the unidirectional driver to use the printer with Windows Terminal Services, and

in environments that require Terminal Services, such as Citrix Presentation features of the driver depend on bidirectional communication, including when to send

data to the printer. See "Printing Cards in the Windows Terminal Services Environment" for

information about how to operate the printer in a unidirectional environment. Consider sharing

this information with operators.

Your success might depend on the amount of data per card and number of cards sent. For best

results, use simple card layouts and send individual cards, or send batches with a small number

of cards to print at one time.
