Printer Preferences

4.1.1

Card Size

Select the appropriate card option (CR-80 or CR-79):

CR-80: 

This selection is the default size for the card printer with a print area 3.375 in x 2.125 in x

30 mil (53.6 mm x 85.5 mm x 30 mil). 

CR-79:

 Use this selection to print to cards with a print area 2.110 in x 3.366 in x 30 mil (53.6mm x 

85.5 mm x 30 mil).

Note:

 These print area dimensions are 1mm (.04") larger than the actual card size. This extension 

enables the printer to overprint images so they appear edge-to-edge when transferred to the card. 

For this reason, when designing a card format, always set the card size or page size within the card 

design program to the exact print length and width dimensions listed in the printer driver

4.1.2
