Our print dispatcher, in combination with a print server for each printer, enables every print job to be handled efficiently.

If a printer gets has an error, runs out of ribbon or jammed, the print dispatcher will take the entire print job and assign it to another printer. Your print production keeps going. When doing large batch printing you can send large print jobs to the dispatcher and it free's up Producer to continue doing other things instead of waiting for the print job to finish.

You can create user profiles with login expiration dates, password reset requirements, and more. You can define what that user can see from specific templates, functions, configuration tools, and more creating a perfect interface for that user. Removing everything not relevant to a group or user not only protects data but simplifies the interface for the user.
When taking photos for your ID cards it is important to have consistency in the look and feel of the photos. Having close up pictures or some pics with shoulders and others without can create an unappealing look on your cards. Aside from that, have a good image of your persons face is most important. You don't want the photo to be too far away or too close. Starting with our Professional Edition, when taking photos you can use our auto crop and face recognition tool to automatically crop your images in perfect ratio. Our face recognition tool allows you to automatically look for the persons eyes and use this to set the size of your photos on your cards. This creates a consistent look and feel to all your printed cards. You can choose to store the cropped image back in your database or keep the original picture untouched.

Once installed, we have an easy create-a-card user guided wizard which in a few steps you can create a card and connect your card to your database, or use one of our preloaded ones. With a variety of user guided wizards for database connections, inline encoding, create-a-card, user and group profiles, and more we make setting up your perfect ID card system easy. For help setting up your CardExchange® Producer, we have a variety of resources under our support tab in the menu above.
While you do not need to use our print dispatcher with print services add-ons, if you are doing a lot of card production it is something to consider. Our print dispatcher, in combination with a print server for each printer, enables every print job to be handled efficiently. Once you hit print, whether one card or a batch print job, the print dispatcher receives the print job and automatically assigns the print job to any of the connected printers. If a printer gets has an error, runs out of ribbon or jammed, the print dispatcher will take the entire print job and assign it to another printer. Your print production keeps going. When doing large batch printing you can send large print jobs to the dispatcher and it free's up Producer to continue doing other things instead of waiting for the print job to finish.
Starting with our Premium Edition you can use our user and group profiles with login feature you can control what every group or user can see or do inside the application. For example, group profiles you can apply to a department, location, or personnel type removing anything card templates, database record information, etc. you don't want that group to see. You can create user profiles with login expiration dates, password reset requirements, and more. You can define what that user can see from specific templates, functions, configuration tools, and more creating a perfect interface for that user. Removing everything not relevant to a group or user not only protects data but simplifies the interface for the user.
When taking photos for your ID cards it is important to have consistency in the look and feel of the photos. Having close up pictures or some pics with shoulders and others without can create an unappealing look on your cards. Aside from that, have a good image of your persons face is most important. You don't want the photo to be too far away or too close. Starting with our Professional Edition, when taking photos you can use our auto crop and face recognition tool to automatically crop your images in perfect ratio. Our face recognition tool allows you to automatically look for the persons eyes and use this to set the size of your photos on your cards. This creates a consistent look and feel to all your printed cards. You can choose to store the cropped image back in your database or keep the original picture untouched.
