Guide | Windows Printer and Driver Language

Written By Darren Garbett

*This information is correct as of Windows Driver Version 2.8.2.779 (Release Date: 22/05/2023)

The driver will inherit the language from your PC’s system language. The language is inherited in this order:

Windows Operating System ↴
                         Magicard Printer Driver ↴ 
                                                 Magicard Printer

You can however manually change it :

Navigate to: C:\Program Files\id Card Printer Support\support
Right click the lang.reg and choose Edit, this will open it in Notepad.
Or, open with and select any text editor (like Notepad, or Notepad++, or VS Code.. etc.)
Set the last 3 digits to your required language in:
“dword” at the top: 809 = English.
ie: “LANGID”=dword:00000809

Ref the table below for the lang.reg file contents and the Language dword values to enter:

lang.reg file contents	Language	dword
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Magicard Ltd.] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Magicard Ltd.\Lang] "LANGID"=dword:00000809 "LANGID-German"=dword:00000407 "LANGID-Romanian"=dword:00000418 "LANGID-Polish"=dword:00000415 "LANGID-SC"=dword:00000804 "LANGID-TC"=dword:00000404 "LANGID-Japanese"=dword:00000411 "LANGID-Greek"=dword:00000408 "LANGID-Danish"=dword:00000406 "LANGID-French"=dword:0000040c "LANGID-Italian"=dword:00000410 "LANGID-Spanish"=dword:0000040a "LANGID-Portuguese"=dword:00000816 "LANGID-English"=dword:00000809 "LANGID-Korean"=dword:00000412 "LANGID-Russian"=dword:00000419 "LANGID-Turkish"=dword:0000041f "LANGID-Arabic"=dword:00000401 "LANGID-USA"=dword:00000409	German	407

Then Save and Close the file.
Double-Click the lang.reg file. This will run the .reg file and apply the settings.
Click Yes to allow changes:
Then you will receive confirmation:

You have now set your required Driver Language 🙌

Your Magicard Printer will inherit it’s language from the printer driver, when a print job is received.

It can also be changed using a Quick Command from:

ID Card Printer Support Utility ❐ (for Generation 1 printers Only, Rio Pro, Enduro, Pronto)
Or from the Tools Tab in the driver’s Printer Properties (within the latest versions of the driver).
In the Quick Commands box type the following: LNG0

LNG = (think ‘LaNGuage’)
Followed by your desired country’s designated digit from the chart below.
LNG0 = English, in the example above.

The available languages (for the printer’s display) are:

English 0

Portuguese 1

French 2

German 3

Spanish 4

Italian 5

Polish 6

Romanian 7
