Brivo Onair’s Badging application supports the following file formats for importing images:

GIF

PNG

JPEG

 

To print badges, either singly or in bulk, you must have a card printer connected to and operating correctly with your system. You can use images already stored on your system or use the virtually any webcam.

 

NOTE: Brivo does not provide support for webcams or badge printers. Please contact the individual manufacturers for assistance with installation, configuration, operation and basic troubleshooting of these items.

 

WARNING: MagiCard printer drivers and printer settings The badge printer MUST have the latest drivers from Magicard. www.ultramagicard.com/technical-support is the website to acquire these drivers.  If your drivers are out of date, dual sided badging will not function properly.  Additionally, the badge printer must have dual sided printing enabled to print any two sided badges. If not enabled, the printer may not print properly.

 

WARNING: Magicard “Colour Sure” Printer Warning If you wish to use background colors or images you must change your printer settings to support "Colour Sure" Printing. Please go to the advanced properties of your printer and check the "Colour Sure" Printing checkbox or call Brivo technical support for assistance.

 

NOTE: Brivo recommends that if you are printing a two-sided badge, be absolutely certain to make sure that your printer settings are configured to print the back side of the badge in color.  If set to black and white, the resolution of the print job is very poor. Some printers do not carry the settings from one print job to the next. Be sure to check any printer specific settings prior to printing a badge.
