The field1 and field2 attributes contain the user data that will be encoded and must be named according to the plugin and the used format template There is no fixed naming convention so field1 may be Firstname or EmployeeNo or anything else except the reserved keywords see table below for a description The number of user data attributes depends on the plugin and the template format that is used for the encoding string Since the encoding string is fixed in the layout it is the responsibility of the application to replace the variable user data on runtime when printing the layout Many card managements and even other standard applications allow the replacement of placeholders when a job is sent to the printer Since almost every application handles variable data in a different way it is far beyond the scope of this document to give instructions on how to do this It is recommended to look up the 69 Prima 3 Driver Manual corresponding section of the application s handbook on how to set up a text field with a string that can hold both fixed and variable data There are three types of applications that recognize placeholders and replace them inside the fixed text encoding string require a temporary field and a script to build the full encoding string cannot replace user data at all Usually applications belonging to the latter category will not be used at all for card production with variable data per record because they

The number must uniquely identify the precode step and must be the same on the second encode step This attribute is mandatory in an environment where precoding is done and must be present in both steps The application needs to take care that each card to be printed and encoded gets a unique precode ID that is used for both steps The printer is locked in the first step for this precode ID and only a second job with the same ID can unlock the printer Therefore it is required that other cards have different IDs 11 Prima 3 Driver Manual 6 8 1 Encoding string examples 1 Simple encoding string pi Contact ft Guest encoding data Uses the plugin Contact and the format template Guest to encode the encoding data then prints the card 2 Multiple encoding strings pi Mifare ft All Access so 2 encoding data pi Contact ft Payment so 1 encoding data First encodes with the plugin Contact and the format template Payment then encodes with the plugin Mifare and the format template All Access then prints 3 Precoding Job 1 pi Contact ft Guest pre pid 16457 encoding data Job 2 pi Contact ft Guest pid 16457 encoding data Job 1 runs the plugin Contact using the format template Guest to read something from the card and locks the printer for the second job with the precode id 16457 Job 2 runs the same plugin and format template on the p

31. ance whether an application sends the string in the correct format or not The simplest way to check this is to print a layout containing a valid encoding string If the string is printed the application does not support the way how the driver intercepts the encoding string However this has been tested thoroughly with many different applications and there are two rules of thumb that you have to know Pixel graphic drawing applications usually render text as pixels and are therefore not capable of sending the encoding string as text to the driver 65 Prima 3 Driver Manual Special transformations for shading blending winding squeezing skewing twisting outlining and anything else do process the text as graphic and are therefore not suggested for the encoding string The font however is not relevant for parsing as long as if it is a standard Windows font So to summarize all of the above Important The encoding string must be on front page of the layout The encoding string must be in plain standard format with no special effects in the layout 6 4 Multi printer encoding By using multiple XID 590i printers in a printer group see 5 2 2 1 Creation of Printer Groups the throughput of produced cards per hour can significantly increased The printer driver offers full support for printing and encoding on multiple printers simultaneously Note that the correct port assignment for each printer using an encoder i
