Print Preview

To activate the Print Preview function, you must check the appropriate box in the IDpack Designer Badge Setup. Badges will then be generated in the Print Preview screen instead of being sent directly to the printer. This function is very useful if you experience problems when printing: you can easily see and reprint the page without losing your work.

You have two ways to activate the Print Preview

1.	You must activate the Print Preview function in IDpack Designer Badge Setup. Then Print Preview will be available by default when opening your badge layout with IDpack Producer.

2.	You can click on Turn on the Print Preview temporarily in IDpack Producer Options or by pressing the F9 key.

Note

If you are experiencing blank paper or fuzzy font size when you print a page from the Print Preview, simply deactivate the Print Preview and it should be fine.
