7.5 Recommended configuration settings for XID printers

This section contains information about the recommended settings for XID printers.

7.5.1 Number of physical printers assigned to a virtual production printer

The configuration of the production printers allows multiple physical printers to be assigned to a virtual production printer. MyID does not support monitoring of a printer group with multiple physical printers; you must assign only a single physical printer to each virtual production printer when using the printer with MyID.

7.5.2 Retransfer settings

Ensure that the temperature and speed setting is set according to the card material in Device Configurator > Profiles > Hardware Settings.

7.5.3 Card output

By default, the card is ejected with the front up or down on completion of printing, depending on if printing double or single sided. To ensure that the front is always ejected front side up/down, enable the card output configuration against the virtual production group printer. This is especially important if the output card is being fed through a lamination unit to ensure that the same lamination film is used for the front and back of the card regardless of whether printing is single or double sided.

To set the card output face up configuration, right-click the production printer and select Printer Preferences > Advanced in Control Panel > Printers and Devices.
