If the program has the smart card encoding option enabled and it has been configured (see the Configuration chapter, Smart Card Encoding) then the radio buttons in the section will be available.
There are 4 options:
1. Off - smart card encoding will not take place
2. On - smart card encoding will take place
3. Encode Only - smart card encoding will take place but no printing will be performed.
4. Read Only – no printing or encoding will take place, the card will pass through the printer and the information it contains will be read and displayed.
If printing is suppressed a previously printed badge can be (re-)encoded without further printing. There are some considerations when doing this however due to the complexity of smart card encoding (see the Configuration chapter, Smart Card Encoding).
If smart card encoding option is not enabled, the buttons in this area will be disabled.. The Configure button can be used to set up smart card encoding directly from this dialog.
