38 Elements of Card Design
Card Design Changes That Affect Bar Codes
If you make substantial changes to the way you produce cards, review your setup tasks to make
sure that cards continue to have the quality you require.
Changes that can affect bar codes include:
 Purchasing a new brand of card stock, which can change the color of some images.
 Changing to, or from, preprinted cards, which can change the color of some images.
If you change the design of your cards, or if you start producing an additional card design, test
each design as described in “Test Bar Codes” on page 37 to make sure that the bar code prints as
expected.
Print Bar Codes With the Card Printer Driver
The Card Printer Driver includes a setting that allows the printer to use the black (K) panel to print
the bars of a bar code embedded in a color image, making it more likely to be read by a scanner.
Refer to the XPS Card Printer Driver User’s Guide for complete information about how to specify
the “Print black image pixels using monochrome” option.
