How to Install Custom HoloKote®
Return to printer solutions | Holokote
The Custom HoloKote® process can be divided into 3 steps:
When your final Custom HoloKote® file is ready you will recieve confirmation by email from Magicard to say it is now ready for Download.
Your Custom HoloKote® .jfif file will now be ready for downloading inside your Magicard Support Account.
(The Windows (only) printer driver may now have access to the file automatically, however, there are many networking factors which may negate this feature which are out of our control)
ℹ️ Some information about the .jfif file:
- It will be named with your printer serial number appended with a unique ID, a fictional example below:
12345678–holokote-2rad44576765gf9382ade84739ad69452.jfif
– Renaming the file is OK – but do not alter the file extension. - The file extension will now be .jfif
This 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)
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.
