Term Description
Print Area
• CR-79 (3.303"L x 2.051"W / 83.9mmL x 52.1mmW)
• CR-80: Specifically, the DTC550 Card Printer can print an
image at approximately 2.110-inches x 3.362-inches (633 x
1008 pixels) on a standard CR-80 card, which is 2.125-
inches x 3.370-inches (637 x 1012 pixels). (Note: This
means that there could be up to a 4-pixel or .011-inch margin
on any side of the card.)
The TOF, EOF and LOF can be adjusted in order to center
and minimize these micro-margins. However, reducing the
TOF or EOF (to allow printing closer than 3 pixels to the
leading or trailing edge of the card) will likely cause Ribbon
breakage on dark cards. Correspondingly, a slightly larger
margin of 4 to 5 pixels ensures that these types of Ribbon
problems are avoided.
