Adjusting the Transfer Dwell Time and Temperature
Use the Image Transfer option to control of the Transfer Dwell Time and Transfer
Temperature.
• These settings control the speed and temperature at which printed images are
transferred from the HDP Film to the card. These settings may vary depending on the
card type.
• The Printer Driver automatically optimizes these settings according to the selection made
in the Card Type option.
• Changes made to the Dwell Time and temperature settings are saved for the selected
Card Type option (upon exiting the Printer Driver setup in the Printer’s Control Panel).
