Chapter 3: Creating Card

Formats

This chapter presents an OpenCard process overview, and

describes how to create an OpenCard card format to use with the

SD/CD Series card printers.

About Card Formats for the SD/CD Series Printers

The new card format capabilities of the SD/CD Series printers include the ability to define

personalization operations on both the front and back side of a card. OpenCard supports

monochrome and color graphics, topcoat and printing on both sides of the card, and magnetic

stripe. Enhanced capabilities include support for a full range of industry-standard graphics image

formats and any TrueType font for text. In addition, you can define a wide range of image and

text transformations.

Card Personalization Process Overview

Card formats merge with the OpenCard data stream to create a personalized card using the

following process:

1. Setup

The card format designer creates a card format as an SVG document, creates or acquires the

images and fonts called out in the card format, and prepares the data stream. The data

stream is a text stream that can contain text lines, an optional magnetic stripe data line, and

command lines. Preparing the data stream also includes optionally naming a specific card

format with the @G command, which indicates which card format to use, and naming the

card stock with the @C command.

2. Import

The card format designer uses Printer Manager to import the card format, images, and fonts

to any SD/CD Series printer that is to use the card format.

3. Production

• The printer receives an OpenCard data stream.

• OpenCard locates the correct card format on the printer.
