Chapter 3: Using SmartShieldI. ABOUT THE SMARTSHIELD OPTIONS WINDOWOnce SmartGuard has been enabled, it is then possible toenable SmartShield. SmartGuard protection is required prior toenabling SmartShield simply because this makes yourSmartShield image more secure. The SmartShield Optionswindow is the software interface used to encode SmartShieldimages onto your SmartGuard Access Card. This windowoffers several features which make encoding custom securityimages a quick and easy process.The SmartShield Options window is opened by clicking on theSmartShield button within the SmartGuard software. Thefollowing is a brief overview of all of the options found in theSmartShield Options window:Load Image ButtonThis is the button used to load or open your custom securityimage. Note that your image must be 300 dots per inch (DPI),must be black and white, must be no larger than 248 pixels x248 pixels (about .82Ó x .82 or 2cm x 2cm), and must be savedin a bitmap (.bmp) file format. For more information oncreating a SmartShield security image, please see Section II ofthis chapter.14 Using SmartShield
Card OutlineThis is the area in which your custom image will appear once ithas been loaded. The card outline area is the exact size of astandard CR-80 card. The length and width dimensions of thiscard outline can be viewed in either inches (3.375Ó L x 2.125ÓW) or centimeters (8.56cm L x 5.4cm W). To help you positionyour image accurately on the card, grid lines are providedwithin the card outline. These grid lines are spaced in .1Ó or.254cm increments. To position your security image, simplyÒdrag and dropÓ the image with your mouse pointer or enterexact placement values into the Width Position and LengthPosition boxes.Along side the card outline, youÕll notice an arrow pointing up.YouÕll also notice that the top of the card outline is labeled asthe ÒLeading EdgeÓ and the bottom is labeled as the ÒTrailingEdgeÓ. These items indicate the position of the card outline inrelation to how a card feeds through your printer. In otherwords, as a card is being printed, the Leading Edge will alwaysbe the end of the card that exits the printer first and theTrailing Edge will always be the end that exits the printer last,regardless of which way your printed image appears. It isimportant to keep this in mind when positioning yourSmartShield security image so both your card design and yoursecurity image have the same orientation when printed. Notethat the Rotate button is an easy way to change your securityimage orientation to match that of your card design.1 Image Button / 4 images Button / 6 Images ButtonWhen your image is first loaded, it appears as a single imagetoward the center of the card outline area. If you would likemore than one security image on your card, click on either the4 Images or 6 Images button accordingly. Your image willautomatically be duplicated and placed in preset locations onthe card. If you would like to go back to having a single image,click on the 1 Image button. Note that only a single securityimage can be manually moved around within the card outline.Also, note that security images cannot be placed closer than.138Ó or .350cm from the edge of the card outline. This ensuresthat printed SmartShield security images will always bepositioned beneath PolyGuard if laminated.Using SmartShield 15
