Troubleshooting Tips for Rotated Images on Access Cards

Introduction

One common issue users face is having the back of the access card image appear rotated. In this blog post, we'll walk you through a simple troubleshooting step that might resolve this issue.

Identifying the Issue

If you notice that the back of your access card image is rotated, the first thing to do is check your printer driver settings. A specific setting in the printer driver could be the culprit behind this problem.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Open Your Printer Driver Settings:

    • Access the printer driver settings on your computer. This can usually be done through the control panel or the printing preferences section in your printer management software.
  2. Check the Orientation Option:

    • Look for an option related to image orientation or rotation. This might be labeled differently depending on the printer driver and software you are using.
  3. Verify the Checkbox:

    • Ensure that the option to rotate the image is not checked. If it is checked, uncheck it and try printing the card again.
  4. Experiment with Settings:

    • If the checkbox is not checked, you might want to try checking it to see if that resolves the issue.
