Embodiment Construction

[0019]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an identification card manufacturing system 100 in accordance with embodiments of the invention. The system 100 includes at least one card manufacturing device 102, which operates to process card substrates 104 to form identification cards. For example, the card manufacturing device 102 can be an identification card printer, an identification card laminator, or other card manufacturing device that includes at least one card processing device 106 that utilizes a consumable supply 108.

[0020] Identification card printers utilize card processing devices 106 in the form of thermal printheads that are configured to apply dye from a print ribbon supply 108 to a surface of the card substrate 104, or ink jet printheads that are configured to apply an ink supply 108 from an ink cartridge to the surface of the card substrate. Identification card laminators, on the other hand, typically utilize overlaminate supplies 108 including those having security marks, ...

Abstract

In a method of ordering a consumable supply produced by a card manufacturing device of an identification card manufacturing system, a request to order the consumable supply is received from a user. Next, supply information relating to the supply is retrieved and the supply information is provided to a first web address. Finally, a second web address, which is different from the first web address and is associated with the supply, is retrieved through the first web address based upon the supply information. A diagnostic report includes a list of current settings including current default settings that match default settings for the device. The current default settings also include modified settings that are different from the default settings for the device, wherein the modified settings are highlighted to thereby visibly distinguish them from the current default settings.

Description

[0001] The present application is based on and claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 501,932, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention generally relates to identification card manufacturing systems and, more particularly, to a diagnostic reports and supply ordering method for said systems. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Identification card manufacturing systems generally include a computer, at least one card manufacturing application running on the computer, and at least one identification card manufacturing device such as an identification card printer or laminator. In the case of an identification card printer, the card manufacturing application can combine textual and graphical information to form a print job corresponding to an image that is to be printed by the identification card printer. The print job can then be processed by the identification card printer ...
