PRIMA 2e Manual De Usuario

The following keywords in an encoding string are reserved by the driver and processed in a special 
way. 
 
Keyword Option 

pi mandatory Text plugin name 

 
This name must match with the one shown in the Installed 
Plugins list in Plugin Manager. 
 

ft optional 

Text format template name 

 
This name must match with one of the format templates 
shown in the Format Templates list in Plugin Manager for 
the plugin selected above (keyword "pi"). 
 

so optional 

Number 

sequence order 
 
This specifies the sequence order and should only be used 
when using multiple encoding strings on one card. The 
numbers can be chosen freely. 
 
The encodings will be processed in ascending order. 
 
If two so-numbers are equal, the processing order of the 
two is undefined and dependent on the application! 
 

pre optional 

- 

precode step 
 
This indicates that this is a precode step in which the card 
will only be loaded but not yet printed. 
 
This attribute must be present in the precode step and 
must be omitted in the second (encode) step. It has no 
value! 
 
In addition, the printer will be locked for the precode-id 
(see below). 
 

pid optional 

Number 

precode id 
 
The number must uniquely identify the precode step and 
must be the same on the second (encode) step. 
 
This attribute is mandatory in an environment where 
precoding is done and must be present in both steps. 
 
The application needs to take care that each card to be 
printed and encoded gets a unique precode ID that is used 
for both steps. 
 
The printer is locked in the first step for this precode ID 
and only a second job with the same ID can unlock the 
printer. Therefore it is required that other cards have 
different IDs.
