What is the time delay for when printing cards in a batch run?
The time delay when printing cards in a batch can be useful to stop your Windows printer spooler from getting too large when printing a large number of cards at a time. It can take up to 30 seconds on most modern card printers to print one side of card, but IDNow is capable, on a fast computer, of sending many hundreds of cards per minute to the printer. The time delay enables IDNow to only send one card every x seconds to the printer. This saves on temporary disk space on your computer and in the event of a printer malfunction resulting in you having to abort the batch run you will not have hundreds of cards which IDNow considers have been printed even though they were not. The number of seconds you enter should be slightly less than the time it takes to print one card. This ensures that the next card to be printed has been sent to the printer by the time it has finished printing the previous card. A little trial and error may be required to get the exact time required.
