RESTRICTED USE ONLY Fargo Electronics, Inc.HDPii High Definition Card Printer/Encoder User Guide (Rev. 1.1) 8-5Rendering Print JobsRendering of the print job occurs on the given local workstation if the Printer Driver isinstalled for use on that particular workstation.• Shared Instance: However, if the Printer Driver is a shared instance (e.g., shared fromanother workstation), the print job is rendered (converted to something that the printerunderstands) on the workstation where the Printer Driver is shared from while underMicrosoft Windows 2000, XP and 2003.• Print Job Rendering: Under Microsoft Windows Vista, the rendering of the print job maybe performed on either the workstation sharing the printer or the workstation creating theprint job, depending upon the setting chosen in the printer instance.• Rendering Engine: Since the Printer Driver looks for the file with the “~i” command, thefile location specified within the command is relative to the sharing workstation onWindows 2000, XP and 2003.o Under Windows Vista the default configuration is to render the job on theworkstation that is generating the print job.o The bitmap image file must exist in the location specified on the sharingworkstation or on the printing workstation, depending upon your settings forthat printer on the workstation generating the print job.• Example: Place a “~iC:\Test\inhibit.bmp” text object within a Word Pad print job against anon-shared (e.g., local) HDPII printer under Windows XP to cause the Printer Driver tolook for a file with that name and location on the local workstation. (Note: This is becausethe Printer Driver processing occurs on the local workstation.)• Inhibit Area Location: The location of the inhibit area within the print job is the upper lefthand corner, where the text object is placed upon the drawing within the application.(Note: The inhibit file bitmap must contain one bit per pixel (e.g., monochrome).)• Print Size: If the inhibit bitmap is larger than the page print size, it is trimmed to fit it. Thenormal print size for a HDPII CR-80 card is 2.204 inches by 3.452 inches.o With that print size, the maximum size of the inhibit bitmap area would be 661pixels by 1035 pixels.o If the inhibit bitmap is smaller than the page print size, it will still be used by thedriver and be referenced to the upper left hand corner of the ~i text object.• Bitmap Black Areas: The black areas of the bitmap are the areas that will correspond towhere the inhibit material will prevent the transfer of dyes on to the card.
