🖨 WHAT IS BATCH CARD PRINTING?

What is Batch Card Printing? Batch card printing is a way of printing non-chip cards directly from your web browser. The only thing you need is a card printer connected to your computer, your NCDB and an up-to-date version of standard web browser. Batch card printing feature prints data for each card on one page of a .pdf file. From this .pdf file, you print data directly on your cards. Note that if your cards contain any kind of contactless chip, using Batch card printing isn’t good way for you. Batch card printing supports bardcodes (several types) and QR codes, into which you can encode your data.

Logged in as user of personalization center, please navigate to Orders –> Batch Card Printing page.

You can filter out records by your needs using the filter options. To reset the filter please click “Reset filter“ link.

...

Individual Card Printing Every plastic card with associated card design can be individually re-printed from the card detail (Cards –> Card List –> Card Detail) by clicking the “Print Card“ button. When you hover mouse over this button and wait a while a card preview will be shown.

💻 LABEL PRINTING

Although it is not recommended, it is still possible for your Personalization Center to use label printer to print labels for cards. Imagine the following situation: in NCDB, you have just processed the order and you sent it to Personalization Center to print the cards. However, for whatever reason, you need to print only the card labels. How can you do it? Log into the account of Personalization Center and go to Orders -> Order List. Find the “Unprocessed Entries Export” button and press it. The system will download an excel file with all entries, that are ready for printing (each line is one entry – it means one card).

...

Using the information from this excel file, you can print labels for your cards. This process includes connecting the excel file with a text editor like MS Word and creating the design of your labels there. The process of connecting MS Excel to MS Word will not be described in this tutorial, help can be found on the web. When the labels are printed, you have to tell NCDB that the print was succesfully done. This can be done through importing the modified excel “Unprocessed Entries Export” that you downloaded in previous step. Into this excel file, to the “Process result” column, write “OK” (see the picture). This way, the system will know that labels for these cards were already printed. After saving this file, import it back to NCDB (still logged in as Personalization Center user) using the “Import processed” button. At this moment, the cards that you marked with “OK” should disappear from Batch Card Printing completely and they should appear in NCDB among other issued cards.
