Printer Pooling

Installation Guide 57

Set up Printer Pooling

Setting up a printer pool has two

components:

• "Installing Each Printer"

• "Installing the Printer Pool Driver"

Installing Each Printer

First, install the physical printers. To install each printer:

1 Install the same type of supplies in each printer. See "Installing Supplies and Powering

on the Printer" for the steps to follow.

You must install the same ribbon type in each printer for the card data to be processed

(rendered) correctly by the driver and for each printer to accept any card sent.

2 Install each printer and its driver on the PC. See "Installation on Windows" for the steps

to install a local (USB) or network printer.

3 Set up each printer with the same settings, especially print on both sides, magnetic

stripe settings, and laminate "apply material."

The print ribbon type is set based on the print ribbon actually installed in the printer and

cannot be changed.

4 Verify the operation of each printer on its own.

Installing the Printer Pool Driver

After each printer is installed and working correctly. install the printer pool driver. This is a

“logical” printer to which the application sends jobs.

1 Install the printer pool driver. Start the driver installation program by doing one of the

following:

— Insert the driver CD in the PC’s drive. When

the dialog box appears, click "Install the

Printer".

— If you downloaded the installation file from the

Web site, double-click the file to start the

installation program.

2 For Windows Vista, click “Continue” on the User

Account Control dialog box if it appears.
