102 Card Design Tasks
Escapes
Escapes are formatted text that the Card Printer Driver converts to printer commands to support
a number of operations, including the following:
 Block printing
 Apply topcoat
 Erase and write rewritable cards
 Encode magnetic stripe data
 Select an input hopper
 Laminate a card
 Debow a card in the laminator
 Impress a card
 Apply a second retransfer layer
 Emboss/indent a card
Escapes override printing preferences set in the Card Printer Driver or in a card design
application. You can use escapes to change printing controls on a card-by-card basis without
having to reset your printing preferences.
HINTS & TIPS
 For each escape, make sure that the text is consistent (use the same font, font size, and
color). Use a common font that is easy to see, and is different from, the text you want to print
on the card.
 Each escape must fit on a single line with no formatting or carriage returns. Use a small font
size to make sure that there is enough room for long escapes.
 Do not align escape text to be on the same horizontal line as printed text.
 Make each escape its own line of text on the card design.
