Section 1: Supported Distributions CUPS

The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems, allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer. The minimum required CUPS version for this driver is 1.2.0, if a previous version of the CUPS interface is being used please contact the support team at HID Global.

The driver has been testes on the following operating systems:

32-bit Linux versions:

Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04 & 10.10 Debian 5.04 Fedora 7, 8, 9, 10 & 14 Mandriva One 2009 Red Hat Enterprise 5 & 6 openSuse 10.3 SUSE 11.4

64-bit Linux versions:

Ubuntu 9.04 & 10.10 Debian 5.03 Fedora 11 & 14 Mandriva One 2009 Red Hat Enterprise 6 openSuse 11.1 SUSE 11.4

MAC OS X versions:

MAC OS X 10.5 MAC OS X 10.6

Step

Procedure

1

Unpack the driver tar-ball by running the following command as root from the directory the file was downloaded to:

tar -xzvPf fargoDTC4000-1.0.0.x.tar.gz (Note: If an existing driver was already present on the system, it may be

necessary to restart CUPS to allow the file changes to take effect.)

Section 2: Installation Procedures for Linux

Please follow these same procedures for the DTC1000, DTC4000, and DTC4500. The DTC4500 will refer to Lamination Options not used with the DTC1000 and DTC4000 Card Printers.

Please see Lamination Options for the DTC4500 specifics.

Installing the CUPS Driver

On some Linux Distributions, it may be necessary to disable SELinux capabilities in order to install or use the CUPS Driver. Refer to the SELinux web site at:

http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/index.shtml

or the documentation for your specific distribution for more information. Once the CUPS driver is installed, the Printer’s Options are accessible by following the

instructions (provided in this section under Installing the CUPS Driver).

Upgrading the CUPS Driver from an Older Version:

Just install the new driver, it will overwrite the old version. Then you have to delete and reinstall or modify the printer using the new .ppd file in the CUPS user interface.

Requirement of CUPS 1.4 Version:

Using the following two attributes in .ppd file require CUPS 1.4 version. Localization and Status Monitor messages are dependent from these attributes.

"Nickname" - used by CUPS to display the driver name "Reason" - needed for the localization

Managing from the Cups Web Interface

The Web printer management interface is located at:

http://localhost:631/printers

From there you can perform all printer management tasks with a few simple mouse clicks.

Setting Options with Cups using Command-Line

Printer-Specific Options:

Each printer has its own options that are based on the options in the PPD (driver) file. The lpoptions command provides a way to see a list of the available options:

lpoptions -p DTC4000 -1

Each option starts with the option name, a slash, the human readable text for that option, and a colon. This is followed by a list of values for that option. The asterisk (*) in from of the value indicates that this is the default setting. The options themselves follow the colon:

Setting Printer Options:

For many types of files, the default printer options may be sufficient for your needs. However, at times you may need to change the options for a particular file you are printing. Cups provides both System V (lp) and Berkeley (lpr) printing commands.

The lp and lpr commands allow you to pass printer options using the –o options:

lp -d [printer] -o landscape -o scaling=75 -o media=A4 [filename]

OR

lpr -P [printer] -o landscape -o scaling=75 -o media=A4 [filename]

Select defined to exclude all defined areas from the print. Select undefined to exclude

all undefined areas from the print.

Five (5) areas can be defined. The only way to define these areas is via the command

line interface. (Note: This is because these parameters are too complex for the cups interface. Use 2,3,4 or 5 instead of 1 to address the other print areas.)

To define a print area set Origin X and Y and Length X and Y. Remember that Origin,

Length and Origin + Length must be in the printable area.

The printable area is from 0/0 to 152/242 for CR80 and from 0/0 to 148/238 for CR79.

Sending ISO Magnetic Encoding Information

The CUPS Driver uses URL Encoding when defining data to be encoding to the Magnetic Stripe. Any special characters (such as start and end sentinels) must be described with URL encoding to be recognized. See the Reviewing the URL Encoding Reference for additional information.

The first character of this data string must be the track's specific Start Sentinel (SS) and

the last character must be the specific End Sentinel (ES).

The characters or data in between the SS and ES can include all of the valid characters

specific to each track.

The number of these characters, however, is limited by each track's maximum character

capacity.

When segmenting track data, the appropriate Field Separator (FS) must be used. The table below shows the SS, ES, FS and the valid characters defined for each track.

Section 7: Status Monitor

Status Monitor (SM) is an independent application and is launched through the driver. SM remains active during the rendering process and completion of print job. Driver deactivates it after finishing the print job.

SM communicates with printer bidirectional over the PortComm module of the driver. In contrast, the communication with CUPS is carried out over a http connection.

SM converts Printer status and error messages to text messages and reports them to CUPS. In case of an error SM sets the status to Error. A pop-up dialog box with appropriate message will be presented to user.

The new Driver is bidirectonal and requires libusb. The installation of the Driver, Status Monitor and libusb are made through package installation.

SM consist of two files, an .ini file and a binary executable. Ini file is a “printer model” specific

file. e.g. DTC4000.ini

Here is an example of pop-up status message from printer.
