This guide explains how to set up and print ID cards directly from your studio software, covering two methods: setting up a Hot Folder for automated printing or selecting the printer each time.

Part 1: Initial Setup

  1. Access Preferences: Click on your Name (or profile icon) in the studio and select Preferences.

  2. Configure Printing:

    • Click the Printing tab.

    • Set up your Hot Folder (a specific folder your software monitors for new print files).

    • Under "Printer Selection," choose Print to Device and select your desired printer from the dropdown list.

  3. Add Print Template:

    • Go to your active Job.

    • Click Print Templates.

    • Add the specific ID card print template you previously created in My Designs. (Need help? Learn more here).

  2. Click Tools > Capture.

  3. Select the subject (image) you want to print.

  4. Click the Print Icon (≈ icon of a printer).

  5. Select the ID Card template to send the print job to your configured Hot Folder and printer.
