Return to printer solutions | Holokote
The Custom HoloKote® process can be divided into 3 steps:
When your Custom HoloKote® file is ready you will recieve confirmation by email from Magicard.
Your file will be:
- Named with your serial and a unique ID, an example below:
12345678–holokote-2rad44576765gf9382ade84739ad69452.jfif - Note the file type will now be .jfifThis file is locked to your printer serial number 🔒
(you can request the same file to be used for another of your registered printers from inside your Magicard Support Account)
*Your Windows (only) printer driver may now have access to the file, however there are many networking factors which may negate this feature which are out of our control.
The Custom HoloKote® .jfif file will also be available for you to download by logging back into your Magicard Support Account, then installing from the computer connected to your printer
Installing Custom HoloKote® into your printer
- Open your printer driver via Control Panel > Devices and Printers
- Right Click your printers icon > choose Printing Preferences
- In your Driver window select > Printer Upgrades > HoloKote®> Manage HoloKote®
- Move the ‘Available’ HoloKote® into a ‘Printer Slot’.
Your Windows printer driver (*only the Windows driver) should at this point have access to the file inside the ‘Available’ section:
> move it into your desired printer slot. Ref Choose a Slot in the image below.
However there are many networking factors which may negate this feature in the Windows driver which are out of our control.
Therefore you can dowload the Custom HoloKote® .jfif file from inside your Magicard Support Account.
> then follow the Offline HoloKote steps shown below by browsing from the driver to the download location and selecting the .jfif HoloKote® file.
> move it into your desired printer slot. Ref Choose a Slot in the image below.
