Datacard® XPS Card Printer Driver for Microsoft Windows, Version 7.0 Release Notes
Driver SDK
Use the version 7.0 SDK with the version 7.0 driver.
New Feature
Added support for the Entrust Datacard CR805 Retransfer Card Printer. Support for the printer includes
the following:
 A new page size, ISO ID-1 Retransfer, that is used when printing to the CR805 card printer.
 A new preference on the Printing Preferences > Advanced Options tab. Select “Apply second layer of
retransfer material” to add a second layer of retransfer film to the card for enhanced durability.
Improvements and Resolved Issues

 Resolved an issue where a series of layered graphic elements with a mixture of white, black, and color
did not always print correctly.
Known Issues and Restrictions

 When a driver is updated from an earlier version on a shared printer client, the ribbon type is reset to
the default value. You must select the correct ribbon type on the Printing Preferences > Advanced
Options tab.
 When printers with laminators are pooled, each printer is restricted to processing one card at a time.
When not pooled, a laminating printer can have up to three cards in process.
 Applications that use Microsoft WPF to print cannot create a printer pool using the built-in Microsoft
pooling feature. Microsoft has acknowledged that this is a defect and has stated that it will be fixed.
However, no timeframe has been provided. Until then, you can use Frogmore Print Distributor to
create a printer pool for WPF applications. (EAR 1932380)
 If a USB printer is removed from the system using the Remove Device option, that same printer may
not be detected and installed the next time it is plugged into the computer. You must uninstall the
driver and reinstall all printers to recover.
 The sample card at the completion of the driver installation prints a simple one-sided card. Printers
with no printhead, or with the printhead disabled, cannot use the driver sample card to verify
operation.
 When multiple user accounts are configured on a computer being used as a shared printer client, we
recommend that users log on and off when switching from one account to another. Using the “Switch
User” feature keeps multiple user accounts logged in and may cause issues viewing messages from
the printer.

Datacard® XPS Card Printer Driver for Microsoft Windows, Version 7.0 Release Notes
 If you redirect a network printer driver to new printer by changing the port IP address, you must
restart the computer to guarantee that the driver detects and uses the correct options for the new
printer.
 If a USB-connected printer is powered on before the computer, the printer may appear as offline and
cards sent to the printer do not print. We recommend that you always power on the computer first to
prevent this from occurring. To remedy the offline status, unplug the printer's USB cable and then
plug it back in.
 Windows 10 does not support using the Card Printer Driver Installation CD to uninstall the driver. You
must use the XPS Card Printer Uninstall utility from the Windows Start menu to remove the driver.
Refer to the Card Printer Driver User’s Guide for complete information about how to uninstall the
driver.
 If you have a shared printer on a Windows 10 system, you must remove the Card Printer Driver from
the host system manually. You cannot use the Installation CD or the XPS Card Printer Uninstall utility
to remove the driver. Contact your service provider for a Tech Tip that describes the uninstall
procedure.
