Term Definition
IEEE 1284 (Institute
of Electrical and
Electronics
Engineers 1284)
A standard method of signaling for a bi-directional parallel
interface on personal computers. To ensure proper Printer
communications and image output, Fargo recommends a parallel
interface cable that complies with this specification.
Image A collection of pictures or graphical elements that compose the
visual features on a card. Also refers to the digital representation.
Inhibit (panel) The Inhibit or I designation under YMCKI indicates the ability to
prevent the transfer of film to the card surface. Users can select
these Ribbon types to prevent film from transferring over security
features, signature panel or other areas of special interest on the
card surface.
Input Any data or material being transferred to the Printer.
Input Hopper The area of the Printer that stores the blank cards, ready to print.
Intermediate Transfer
Media (InTM)
A thin flexible material coated with a resin material into which the
dye is transferred from the Ribbon by the Printhead. The film is
then transferred to the card surface by the Transfer or Hot Roller.
Invert F-Panel option This refers to the ability to cause light or white areas of the image
to fluoresce and dark colors to remain dark on the printed card
when exposed to a UV light. (Note: This was requested because
the fluorescent dye color is bright when black light is applied to it.
By default, the dark areas of the image will fluoresce on the card
and the lighter or white areas will have no dye applied.)
The User can select the Invert F-Panel option to cause the black
in the design to show as dark on the card. This option is
recommended if the user is printing a photo.
