Driver Language

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 lang.reg and choose 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.

“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-German”=dword:00000809 👈 set this one “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

Printer Display 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 = 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

⚠️ The printer will still inherit the language from the Driver upon the very next print job sent.

What customers say about our support...

The issue I had with the printer was resolved with speed and professionalism.

Printer model: Magicard 300

It was strange what my problem was but support was quick to isolate it with a few pics sent to them. Very happy with the support.

Printer model: Magicard 600

This is my 1st interaction w/MagiCard Service, they responded immediately, resolved the issue and stood behind their warranty.

Printer model: Magicard 600

I appreciate the service I received during this support ticket. I appreciate being able to correspond via email and I appreciate being able to make contact with you fairly easily. It is very difficult to be able to make contact with people at many companies, but it was very easy to get in touch with you. I appreciate your support and service and am happy to leave a 5 star rating!

Printer model: Rio Pro

In all fairness, as my question was the opposite of what MagiCard would like to achieve I wasn't really expecting a comprehensive answer. Even though I did not get a solution to my question, the answer was well formulated and even offered some alternatives inducing the effect the alternative would have to the print quality.
