Step 3            Select or deselect one or more of the following options.

Field

Description

Allow printing of unsaved badges

Allows printing new badges before the badge is saved. For highest security, leave this unchecked. When allowed (which may be more convenient), it is possible to print a badge without having any record of the badge.

Step 4            Select the Badge Printing tab.

Step 5            Select or deselect one or more of the following options.

Field

Description

Use cross-platform page setup dialog for badge printing

Select this option to use the cross-platform Java page dialog if the badge image is truncated. This occurs when using the default printer dialog on some printers (such as the Zebra printer).

Truncate imageable area values used to initialize cross-platform page dialog

If the image is still truncated using the cross-platform Java page dialog, select this option to apply 0.01 inch margins.

Use pageable print interface for badge printing

The Java Printable printing interface is used by default. If printing problems occur (such as with the Evolis printer), select this option to use the Java Pageable printer interface.

Rasterize before printing

It converts the watermark into an image internally and prints it on the badge.

Note:    Ensure that you do not enable this option unless there is an issue with printing the images on the badges.

Step 6            Click Save to save the changes.

Step 7            Log out and log back in to the ICPAM application to activate the changes (select Logout from the Options menu).
