Ultra Electronics ID has rolled out a new printer driver that enables the use of Magicard ID card printers with Apple computers running Mac OS X. The driver gives Magicard users the ability to work with a wider variety of operating systems and software applications to issue identification credentials.

The new Mac OS X printer driver is Ultra ID’s first software development built natively for Unix architecture operating systems. The driver extends Mac printing support to all current Magicard direct-to-card (DTC) printers including the Rio Pro, Enduro+, Pronto, Rio Pro Xtended and Rio Pro Secure models.

Features include full-color duplex card printing, support for magnetic-stripe and smart card encoding, and printing HoloKote watermarks. The Mac OS X printer driver for DTC Magicard printers is available for immediate download at http://support.ultramagicard.com.
